FortiManager Wizards

The FortiManager Device Manager tab provides you with device and installation wizards to aid you in various administrative and maintenance tasks. Using these tools can help you shorten the amount of time it takes to do many common tasks.

FortiManager offers four wizards:

• Add device wizard

• Discover: The device will be probed using the provided IP address and credentials to determine the model type and other important information.

• Add Model Device: The device will be added using the chosen model type and other explicitly entered information.

• Install wizard

• Install Policy Package & Device Settings: Install a specific policy package. Any device specific settings for devices associated with the package will also be installed.

• Install Device Settings (only): Install only device settings for a selected set of devices; policy and object changes will not be updated from the last install.

• Import policy wizard

• Import device

• Quick install

• Re-install Policy Package: You can right-click on the Config Status column icon to perform a quick install of a policy package without launching the Install wizard.

This section will describe each wizard and their usage.


	Additional configuration options and short-cuts are available using the right-click menu. Right-click the mouse on different navigation panes on the Web-based Manager page to access these options.
