Adding custom device groups

Adding custom device groups

You can create a custom device group and add devices to it.

To add custom device groups:
  1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups.
  2. From the Device Group menu, select Create New.
  3. Enter a name for the group.

    A group name can contain only numbers (0-9), letters (a-z, A-Z), and limited special characters (- and _).

  4. Optionally, enter a description of the group.
  5. Add devices to the group as needed. Devices can also be added and removed after the group has been created.
  6. Click OK to create the group.

FortiManager allows nested device groups. For example, you can create Device Group A and add it under Device Group B.
