FortiCare Register button

The FortiCare Register button is displayed in the GUI on various Fabric and device related pages and widgets available for FortiGates.

There are two methods to access the Register button:

  • Right-click on a device in a topology.

    Security Fabric > Physical Topology page:

  • Hover over a device to display the tooltip.

    Security Fabric > Logical Topology page:

    System > HA page:

Note

The Register button is also accessible from tooltips for devices on the Managed FortiAPs and Managed FortiSwitches pages.

Clicking Register opens the Device Registration pane. If a device is already registered, the pane still opens and displays the device information.

Primary and secondary HA members can be registered to FortiCare at the same time from the primary unit by using the Register button. The secondary unit will register through the HA proxy. In this example, a HA member is registered from the Physical Topology page.

  1. On the primary unit, go to Security Fabric > Physical Topology.
  2. Hover over the HA member and click Register. The Device Registration pane opens.
  3. Select the device and click Register.
  4. Enter the required FortiCloud account information (password, country or region, reseller) and click Submit.
  5. Once the registration is complete, click Close.
