Adding the FortiSandbox to the Security Fabric

Adding the FortiSandbox to the Security Fabric

  1. Connect to Edge.
  2. To add FortiSandbox to the Security Fabric, go to Security Fabric > Settings. Enable Sandbox Inspection.
  3. Make sure FortiSandbox Appliance is selected and set Server to the IP address of port 1 on the FortiSandbox.

  4. Select Test Connectivity. An error message appears because Edge hasn’t been authorized on the FortiSandbox.

  5. Edge, as the root FortiGate, pushes FortiSandbox settings to the other FortiGates in the Security Fabric. To verify this, connect to Accounting and go to Security Fabric > Settings.

  6. On the FortiSandbox, go to Scan Input > Device. The FortiGates in the Security Fabric (Edge, Accounting, Marketing, and Sales) are listed but the Auth column indicates that the devices are unauthorized.

  7. Select and edit Edge. Under Permissions & Policies, select Authorized.
  8. Repeat this for the other FortiGates.

  9. On Edge, go to Security Fabric > Settings and test the Sandbox Inspection connectivity again. External is now connected to the FortiSandbox.
