Fortiswitch offline registration

[vishal1]

Hi All,

Can we register fortiswitch to forticloud without internet connectivity like we do in fortigate using upload license method.

Hello vishal1,

Thank you for reaching out. Technically you can register any product as long as you have the key:

Otherwise the only remaining method is through fortigate using managed switch process. There is no option for fortiswitch registration using license key.

Thank you,

Hi, 

I'm asking offline licensing of fortiswitch ?. Can we do that downloading licensing file from support portal and then upload it.

No, FortiSwitch cannot be registered to FortiCloud without internet connectivity using the offline registration method like FortiGate does with the upload license. FortiCloud registration for FortiSwitch requires an active internet connection to communicate with the FortiCloud servers and register the device. You can, however, manage licensing and other configurations offline, but initial registration must be done online.
