Getting started with FortiGate-7000
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
You cannot delete or rename mgmt-vdom. You also cannot remove interfaces from it or add interfaces to it. You can
however, configure other settings such as routing required for management communication, interface IP addresses,
and so on. You can also add VLANs to the interfaces in mgmt-vdom.
You can use the root VDOM for data traffic and you can also add more VDOMs as required, depending on your Multi
VDOM license.
Confirming startup status
Before verifying normal operation and making configuration changes and so on you should wait until the FortiGate-7000
is completely started up and synchronized. This can take a few minutes.
To confirm that the FortiGate-7000 is synchronized, go to
Monitor > Configuration Sync Monitor
. If the system is
synchronized, all of the FIMs and FPMs should be visible and their
Configuration Status
should be
In Sync
. The
Configuration Sync Monitor also indicates if any modules are not synchronized.
You can also view the
Sensor Information
dashboard widget to confirm that system temperatures are normal and that
all power supplies and fans are operating normally.
From the menu bar at the top of the GUI, you can click on the host name and pull down a list
of the FIMs and FPMs in the FortiGate-7000. From the list you can see the status of each
FIM or FPM, change the host name, or log into the GUI using the special management port
number.
From the CLI you can use the
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
command to view the
synchronization status of the FIMs and FPMs. If all of the FIMs and FPMs are synchronized, each output line should
include
in_sync=1
. If a line ends with
in_sync=0
, that FIM or FPM is not synchronized. The following example just
shows a few output lines:
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
