Model device definitions by CSV file
You can use a CSV file to add multiple model devices to FortiManager. The CSV file must contain the following columns to be used with the example in this guide:
- sn (serial number)
- device blueprint
- name
- branch_id
Each row in the CSV file defines a branch device.
The branch_id column is optional. However it is used in this guide to represent a metafield created by the SD-WAN overlay template. Keep in mind:
- Each branch device must have its own unique value.
- Duplicate IDs are not allowed.
|
You must create a device blueprint in FortiManager before you can import the CSV file. See Creating a device blueprint. |
Following is an example of a CSV file:
