Hi all, I have a cluster of Fortigate 500, we have enabled device identification feature on LAN Interface. But we see some incorrect correlations, for example one device with 3 or 4 ip, or 1 user related to 3 devices.

exist some best practice to be sure that correlation are correct or better?

thanks

in advance

Are there any layer3 devices connected to the lab interface? The device identification works best when connected to a layer2 device.

Yeah, you definitely want your FortiGate to share the same layer 2 connectivity as the devices. (terminate the SVI/VLANs on your Gate itself instead of the layer 3 core etc.)
