Creating a Fabric connector for Nuage

With FortiManager, you can create a Fabric connector for Nuage. You cannot import address names from Nuage to the Fabric connector. Instead you must manually create dynamic firewall objects that you can use in policies.

When you install the policies to one or more FortiGates, FortiOS uses the information and the Fabric connector to communicate with Nuage and dynamically populate the objects with IP addresses.

When you create a Fabric connector for Nuage, you specify how FortiOS can communicate with Nuage through the Fabric connector. As a result, you are configuring communication and authentication information for the Fabric connector.

If you have enabled ADOMs, you can create multiple Fabric connectors per ADOM. Each Fabric connector requires a unique IP address.

This configuration requires the following:

• FortiManager version 6.0 ADOM or later
• FortiManager is managing the FortiGate.
• You have configured the managed FortiGate to work with Nuage.

To create a Fabric connector object for Nuage:

1. Go to Fabric View > Fabric Connectors.
2. Click Create New. The Create New Fabric Connector wizard displays.
3. Configure the following options, then click OK:

   Name	Enter the Fabric connector name.
   Status	Toggle On to enable the Fabric connector. Toggle OFF to disable the Fabric connector.
