The Central Management tab provides the option of remotely managing your FortiGate
unit by either a FortiManager unit or the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service.
From System > Admin > Central Management, you can configure your FortiGate unit to
back up or restore configuration settings automatically to the specified central
management server. The central management server is the type of service you enable,
either a FortiManager unit or the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service. If you
have a subscription for FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service, you can also
remotely upgrade the firmware on the FortiGate unit.
