Technical Note: How to enable FortiGate Features From FortiManager
Description
Solution
This article explains how to enable features on a FortiGate via FortiManager.
FortiManager cannot enable the FortiGate features from Policy Package or Global Config. One way to do this would be via a script.
Please note that enabling the Features on FortiGate under System > Config > Features means to be able to use the feature on the WebGUI, in the CLI it is already available.

Solution
The script could be used as follows:
1) On FortiManager create the script under Device Manager > Script adjusting the scheduled time as per proper requirements. In this example the ipv6 feature will be enabled.
2) Right Click on the script and it.
In case of “Device Database” script, after the Run time, it will be still necessary to “Install Device Settings (only)” from Device Manager > Devices & Groups.
