Adding a device
You can add individual devices, or multiple devices. When adding devices using the Add Device wizard you have more configuration options then using the Add Multiple option.
For a device which is currently online, use the Add Device wizard, select Discover, and follow the steps in the wizard. Adding an existing device will not result in an immediate connection to the device. Device connection happens only when you successfully synchronize the device. To provision a new device which is not yet online, use the Add Device wizard, but select Add Model Device instead of Discover.
Adding an operating FortiGate HA cluster to the Device Manager is similar to adding a standalone device. Enter the IP address of the master device, the FortiManager handles a cluster as a single managed device.
To add a device to an ADOM:
1. Right-click on the tree-menu, and select Add Device.
2. Select Discover for a device which is online. Select Add Model Device to provision a device which is not yet online.
3. Follow the steps in the wizard to add the device to the ADOM.
