Importing address names to a Fabric connector

After you configure a Fabric connector, you can import dynamic objects from cloud platforms, such as Cisco ACI, to the Fabric connector, and dynamic firewall address objects are automatically created.

To import address names for Cisco ACI:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
  2. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors.
  3. In the content pane, right-click the Cisco ACI Fabric connector, and select Import. The Import SDN Connector dialog displays.
  4. Select the address names, and click Import. FortiManager imports the address names and converts them to dynamic firewall address objects that display on the Firewall Objects > Addresses pane.
