Hi, with add model device, whats is the best practices to add a lot of fortigates ? Load basic config with the fortimanager ip ? Thanks
My personal preference is to have a base config that configures the WAN IP of the device (if static) and inputs the FortiManager address. Once it phones home to the Manager I just have the Manager push the appropriate configuration. Obviously, this works better in environments that can withstand some small downtime. Though you could stand a deployment like this up in parallel and then just migrate over.
Hi Mike,
thanks for your answer. This procedure was also my first idea.
It just seems to work best for me in my deployments. Glad I could be of assistance!
