When you are configuring your FortiGate unit to connect to and communicate with a
FortiManager unit, the following steps must be taken because of the two different
deployment scenarios.
• FortiGate is directly reachable from FortiManager:
• In the FortiManager GUI, add the FortiGate unit to the FortiManager database in
the Device Manager module
• Change the FortiManager IP address
• Change the FortiGate IP address
• FortiGate behind NAT
• In System > Admin > Central Management, choose FortiManager
