hi All, 

 

Today I was doing some changes on my Lab Fortimanager for my newly added Fortigate device. When i tried to push the configurations via install wizard option, it shows some weird configurations were also being pushed along with my configurations. Those weird configurations were never added.  It tries to change my default dns filter profile. In my DNS filter configuration it tried to change the category settings in DNS filter  

 

For example the dns filter configurations on my Fortigate were 

 

config dnsfilter profile
    edit "default"
        config ftgd-dns
            config filters
                edit 1
                    set category 1
                    set action block

 

While what fortimanager configuration just removed the "set action block" under this category

 

        config dnsfilter profile
            edit "default"
                config ftgd-dns
                        edit 3
                            set category 1

 

This is just one example, it tries to change all the categories, some categories match the action and some not, Does somebody know why Fortigate has this behavior ?

Have you first imported the Fortigate configuration in FMG ? 

What is the version of FMG and FGT ?
