Configuration

To integrate your device with your FortiNAC software, there are configuration requirements on both the device and FortiNAC. It is recommended that you configure the device first.

Use only letters, numbers and hyphens (-) when creating names for items in the device configuration. Other characters may prevent FortiNAC from reading the device configuration.

Network devices should have static IP addresses (or dynamic IP addresses that are reserved). Once a device that provides network services had been identified in FortiNAC there is no mechanism to automatically update the IP address for that device if there is a change. If the IP address on the device itself is changed, the device appears in FortiNAC to be offline or to have a communication error.
