Fortimanager to manage the Forti VNF

[ssan239]

Hi Team,

Is it necessary to have a Fortimanager to manage the Forti VNF that will be deploymed on a VMWare SD WAN edge 

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-SD-WAN/3.3/VMware-SD-WAN-by-VeloCloud-Administration-Guide/GUID-B6...

as per this document it asks for it 

but is it necessary or do we have any other way to manage the VNF on VCE.

FortiManager is not mandatory to manage Forti VNFs deployed on a VMware SD-WAN Edge. While the document you referenced may suggest using FortiManager for management, there are alternative methods available. You can manage Forti VNFs on VMware SD-WAN Edge using the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator or other management tools provided by VMware. It is essential to ensure compatibility and functionality with the specific deployment environment and requirements.

@ashishrathee thank you.

Do you mind sharing any document which will give us more insights on compatibility between Orchestrator and Fortigate? Also is there any document on how to set it up?
