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:
- Login to the eG admin interface.
- If the component is yet to be discovered, then, run discovery (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discovery).
- To manage an already discovered component, follow the menu sequence: Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage/Delete.
-
Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly illustrate the process of managing a Fortigate Switch.

When Figure 3 appears, provide the Host IP/Name of the Fortigate Switch that you want to manage.
