Hi everyone.

 

As I was trying to add a new FortiGate device in the FortiManager (v6.0.2) an error occur which says "Probe failed: network".

The device has already been added on FortiCloud and FortiAnalyzer (red dot on "Logs"), which means there is an internet connection. If there's anyone who can help, it is much appreciated.

If you're adding the FortiGate from the FortiManager then you need to edit the interface on the FortiGate and enable the FortiManager administrative access.

 

Otherwise an easier way is to add the FortiManager from the FortiGate itself, as long as it has network connectivity it should register.

Hello, 

 

As "neonbit" mentioned , on your FGT check the Administrative Access . The service FMG-Access should be enabled. 

 

Let us know if the problem resolves . 

 

Cheers
