Description This article describes an issue where FortiManager and FortiManager-VM are unable to integrate FortiGate-VM.
Scope FortiManager, VM, and FortiGate-VM.
Solution

When integrating FortiManager and FortiGate, a pop-up error 'Unsupported device model' appears:

On the latest FortiManager firmware version (v7.4.7, v7.6.3, and onwards), a configuration has been added:

 

Bezza-kvm30 # config system global

(global)# set fgfm-allow-vm 
disable    Don't allow VM platform connection in FGFM.
enable     Allow VM platform connection in FGFM.

(global)# set fgfm-allow-vm enable

(global)# end

                          

                                 allow vm.png

 

By default, the 'fgfm-allow-vm' is disabled. However, a managed device (in VM Mode ) that integrates FortiManager needs to enable the 'fgfm-allow-vm'.

 

After enabling the fgfm-allow-vm, refresh the FortiManager and add the FortiGate from the FortiManager.
