Managing Fortigate Switch

The Fortigate Switch can be automatically discovered by eG Enterprise. Therefore, administrators can either auto-discover the switch in their environment or manually add the switch.

To manage the Fortigate Switch that is automatically discovered, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to the eG admin interface.
  2. If the component is yet to be discovered, then, run discovery (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discovery).
  3. To manage an already discovered component, follow the menu sequence: Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage/Delete.

  4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly illustrate the process of managing a Fortigate Switch.
