ADOM and Non-ADOM Modes
You can manage FortiWLM MEA in the ADOM or non-ADOM mode. For more information on creating and managing ADOMs, see the FortiManager Administration Guide.
|
While creating an ADOM, select FortiGate version 6.4 to enable access to FortiWLM. In the ADOM mode, all data displayed in FortiWLM is based on the devices managed by the particular ADOM. However, the following administrative data is displayed for all devices irrespective of the ADOM they belong to.
|
- In the ADOM mode FortiGates must be added in the FortiManager, see section Adding FortiGate devices to FortiManager.
- In the non-ADOM mode, FortiGates must be added in FortiWLM MEA, see section Adding FortiGate devices to FortiWLM MEA.
After you add FortiGates to FortiWLM MEA, FortiWLM MEA communicates with FortiManager to obtain data. You can view the Access Points chapter in the FortiManager Administration Guide for more information on configuring APs.
By default, ADOMs are disabled. Enabling and configuring ADOMs can only be done by super user administrators.

To enable the ADOM mode, log in to the FortiManager as a super user administrator.
