Configuring a device
Configuring a FortiGate unit using the Device Manager dashboard toolbar is very similar to configuring FortiGate units using the FortiGate Web-based Manager. You can also save the configuration changes to the configuration repository and install them to other FortiGate unit(s) at the same time.
This document does not provide detailed procedures for configuring FortiGate units. See the FortiGate documentation for complete information. The most up-to-date FortiGate documentation is also available from the Fortinet Technical Documentation web page.
To configure a FortiGate unit:
1. On the Device Manager module, select the ADOM and the unit you want to configure on the tree-menu.
2. Select an option (such as System, Router, Firewall, UTM, VPN, User, Endpoint Control, or Log & Report) for that unit in the dashboard tool-bar.
3. Configure the unit as required.
The configuration changes are saved to the FortiManager device database instead of the FortiManager repository represented by the Revision History window.
| You can rename and reapply firewall objects such as address, address group, service, schedule, VIP, load balance, protection profile, and traffic shaping after they are created and applied to a firewall policy. When you do so, the FortiManager system will: • delete all dependencies such as the firewall policy • delete the object • recreate a new object with the same value, and • recreate the policy to reapply the new object. |
