Importing and exporting FortiSwitch devices

Importing and exporting FortiSwitch devices

To import FortiSwitch devices:

  1. Configure a CSV file with the following fields as column headers, and enter the corresponding information for each FortiSwitch to be imported in the cells below:

    Header

    Cell

    FortiGate

    		 The name of the FortiGate to which the FortiSwitch will be assigned.
    FortiSwitch Name The FortiSwitches name.
    Serial Number The FortiSwitches serial number
    FortiLink The FortiLink interface used to allow the FortiGate to manage the FortiSwitch.

    Template

    		 The template to be assigned to the FortiSwitch.

    VDOM

    (Optional) If VDOMs are enabled on the FortiGate, specify the VDOM to which the FortiSwitch will be assigned. If VDOMs are disabled, leave this field blank, and the default root VDOM will be applied automatically.

    For example:

  2. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Managed FortiSwitches, and select More > Import from CSV from the toolbar.

    • Successfully imported fields are indicated with a checkmark icon.

    • Fields with errors are indicated with an error icon. Hover your mouse over the error icon or the FortiSwitch's check box to view details about the error. Fields can be directly edited from the import results window. FortiSwitches with errors will not be imported if you continue the import process.

  4. Click Next to complete the import.

To export FortiSwitch devices:

  1. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Managed FortiSwitches.

  2. Select a FortiGate in the table to view its FortiSwitches or select Managed FortiGate (#) to view all FortiSwitch devices.
