Adding FortiGate devices to FortiManager

Add the datacenter FortiGate and two branch office FortiGates to FortiManager.

To add a device with Discover mode:

1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups.
2. In the toolbar, click Add Device.

   The Add Device window opens.

3. Select Discover, and then follow the prompts to configure the device settings.

For information about adding devices, go to the FortiManager Document Library > FortiManager Administration Guide > Firewall Devices > Adding Devices.

To retrieve the configuration:

1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups, and select a device group.
2. In the tree menu, select a device.

   The content pane displays the device dashboard.

3. In the dashboard, locate the Configuration and Installation Status widget.
4. In the Total Revisions row, click Revision History.
5. In the Configuration Revision History dialog box, click Retrieve Config.

   View the current configuration running on the device. If there are differences between the configuration file on the device and the configuration file in the repository, a new revision is created and assigned a new ID number.

For information about retrieving configuration, go to the FortiManager Document Library > FortiManager Administration Guide > Firewall Devices > Managing device configurations > Managing configuration history.

To synch the devices:

1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups.
2. In the device pane, right-click a device, and select Import Policy to launch the Import Policy wizard.

   This wizard allows you to import interface maps, policy databases, and objects. Default or per-device mapping must exist or the installation will fail.

After initially importing policies from the device, make all changes related to policies and objects in the Policy & Objects module in the FortiManager. Making changes directly on the FortiGate device will require reimporting policies to resynchronize the policies and objects.

For information about importing policies, go to the FortiManager Document Library > FortiManager Administration Guide > Firewall Devices > Adding devices > Import policy Wizard.
