Import address objects in FortiManager

[rsm]

Hi 

We have a few FortiGate appliances managed by 1 FortiManager. i need to create a large number of IP subnet objects, which will be shared by more than 1 of the FortiGate appliances. Is there a way to import objects?

I know on a Fortigate itself, I could cut/paste the commands in the CLI. So, is there a way of doing this in the FortiManager cli?

Many thanks
Roy

Hi RSM

You can use Scripts to quickly add your objects.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.4.4/administration-guide/990788

And then you can run it on FMD DB so the objects are created on FMD DB.

Then once you use any of the objects in a firewall rule and push it to a FG, the object will be pushed automatically to the FG.

Perfect, thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.
