Dear People,

I have some trobule with FabricConnectors FortiManager over CLI

I set up the

config system central-management

set type fortimanager

set fmg "fortimanager.forticloud.com"

end

exe central-mgmt register-device *serialnumber* *fmg-register-password*

Then I can see the FG to Authorization in Fortimanager

So I start the authorization with error:

"Cannot communicate with remote device (tunnel is down)"

There is a solution to set the EMC to low (set enc-algorithm high), but this depends all VPN Tunnels.

*fmg-register-password* I use here the login password for Fortimanager. Is that correct or must I create a register password? If yes, how does I create it?

Not sure what's going on other than suspecting the quality of connection over the internet. But I can at least tell the "password" at the end of the command is currently not used by FMG (AFAIK with 6.4.7) so we use any dummy one like "preshared-key" or whatever. You just need to have something there.

Just make sure fgfm(CLI)/FMG-access(GUI) is enabled on the wan interface(s) and test quality of connection with pinging from both ends.

Hello Toshi,

thanx for your answer.

I tried it with a dummy password. You are right. I have a new device for authorization but the follow is the same. The authorization hangs.
If I do this over the GUI, there are no problems.
I am not sure that I understod you about "Just make sure fgfm(CLI)"
