Management model
The FortiManager system in v4.0 MR3 has been changed from what you may be used to from earlier versions. In previous versions there were two modes of operation: EMS and GMS. In v4.0 MR3, these have been combined into a single, united workflow that is suitable for users of either mode.
The new management model has the following configuration management components per ADOM:
• Policy & Objects
• Real-Time Monitor
• FortiClient Manager
• Add Device Wizard
• Install Wizard
• Device Settings Management:
• Device Summary & Status
• VDOM Synchronization
• Web-based Manager Scripts
