New Feature Request - Auto FortiManager

Hi

 

I would like to request new feature .

 

I would like to have Automatic FortiManger  assigned to Fortigate Units .

 

The idea to use very simple mechanism mostly already exist .

 

1- Add new editable field to Fortigate Asset registration on support site

     Filed will be FortiManager hostname / ip

2- When new "virgin" Fortigate unit connect to the network and sign on fortigate support site

    ( this is already done ) have the unit Autoupdate its FortiManager info .

3- Now we can add unit manually to Fortimanager ( or even better let Fortimanager update from site )

 

This is very helpful for remote Site management , New installations , RMA replacements , Etc .

 

Hope you will find this helpful

 

Thanks

Hi Kingcrimson,

 

This feature was already implemented in FOS 5.4 through FortiCloud. This was called as "Forti-Deploy". What you need to do are:

 

1. pre-import FGT device key (could be found either in box or on FGT tag) into FortiCloud

 

2. in FortiCloud, deploy this FGT to a configured FortiManager IP/FQDN

 

3. boot up FGT. When the unit is boot up, it will automatically connect to FortiCloud and get that FMG IP.

 

Thanks,
