About Fortinet Discovery Protocol

FortiGate units running FortiOS version 3.0 or greater can use Fortinet Discovery
Protocol (FDP), a UDP protocol, to locate a FortiAnalyzer unit.

When a FortiGate administrator selects Automatic Discovery, the FortiGate unit
attempts to locate FortiAnalyzer units on the network within the same subnet. If
FDP has been enabled for its interface to that subnet, the FortiAnalyzer unit will
respond. Once the FortiGate unit discovers a FortiAnalyzer unit, the FortiGate unit
automatically enables logging to the FortiAnalyzer and begins sending log data.

Depending on its configuration, the FortiAnalyzer unit may then automatically
register the device and save its data, add the device but ignore its data, or ignore
the device entirely. For more information, see

“Configuring unregistered device

connection attempt handling” on page 79
