Fabric Management

The Fabric Management page allows administrators to manage the firmware running on each FortiProxy in the Security Fabric, and to authorize and register these Fabric devices.

The Fabric Management page displays a summary of devices in the Security Fabric that includes:

• Total number of devices in the Fortinet Security Fabric and the types of devices
• Upgrade status
• Device name
• Device status
• Registration status
• Firmware version and maturity level
• Upgrade status

Please note a valid Firmware & General Updates (FMWR) license is a prerequisite for upgrading to a major or minor firmware release in FortiProxy.

From the Fabric Management page, administrators can perform the following actions:

Fabric Upgrade	Use to upgrade firmware for the root FortiProxy as well as all Fabric devices. You can also use this option to upgrade firmware for a non-Security Fabric FortiProxy. The Fabric Upgrade option uses released firmware images from FortiGuard.
Upgrade	Use to upgrade firmware for the selected device. The Upgrade option uses released firmware images from FortiGuard. Alternately you can download a firmware file from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support website, and upload it for the upgrade process. See Upgrading individual device firmware.
Register	Use the Register option to register a selected device to FortiCare.
Authorization	Use the Authorization option to authorize, deauthorize, or reject the selected device. See Authorizing devices.

Before you upgrade FortiProxy firmware, it is recommended to learn about firmware updates, firmware maturity levels, Special Technical Support (STS) firmware, and selected availability (SA) versions.
