FortiCare Register button

The FortiCare Register button is displayed in the GUI on various Fabric and device related pages and widgets.

  • To access the Register button on a topology page, click on or hover over the FortiProxy device:

Clicking Register opens the Device Registration pane. If a device is already registered, the pane still opens and displays the device information.

  2. Hover over the HA member and click Register. The Device Registration pane opens.
  3. Select the device and click Register.
