Using Automatic Discovery to connect to a FortiAnalyzer unit
Automatic Discovery can be used if the FortiAnalyzer unit is on the same network.
To connect using automatic discovery
1. Log in to the CLI.
2. Enter the following command syntax:
config log fortianalyzer setting
set status enable
set server <ip_address>
set gui-display enable
set address-mode auto-discovery
end
If your FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, the interface using the automatic discovery feature will not carry traffic. For more information about how to enable the interface to also carry traffic when using the automatic discovery feature, see the Fortinet Knowledge Base article,
Fortinet Discovery Protocol in Transparent mode.
| The FortiGate unit searches within the same subnet for a response from any available FortiAnalyzer units. |
