Hello,

Lately i have been trying to add my virtual FGT into fortimanager in EVE-NG platform. However it doesnt work, here is the error that i got on Fortigate web interface. i checked in Fortimanager CA certificates, serial number is 00 which different from original serial nubmer of FM but i can not modify it. Anybody has a solution ?

Also when i try to add device on FortiManager web interface it also doesnt work, somehow FortiManager can not reach device and it shows me "Probe Failed" error. 
Device interfaces are pingable in same network...(FMG acces enabled on FGT) Both appliances running with evaluation license and it is totally okay.

Good day @aufjedenfall ,

 

- Can you please validate the Serial Number of FortiManager, it should be the same as you are getting in a prompt while adding FortiManager to FortiGate

Hi @aufjedenfall ,

 

If your FMG CLI able to enable the configuration below please enabled it.
#config system global

#set fgfm-peercert-withoutsn enable

 

While adding the device from FMG, in your FGT CLI, please run the command below:

#exec central-mgmt register-device <FMG S/N> <password>
