Device
The Device menu controls connection attempt handling, permissions, disk space
quota, and other aspects of devices connecting to the FortiAnalyzer unit for
remote logging, content archiving, quarantining, and/or remote management.
For a diagram of traffic types, ports and protocols that FortiAnalyzer units use to
communicate with other devices and services, see the Knowledge Center article
Traffic Types and TCP/UDP Ports used by Fortinet Products .
This section includes the following topics:
• Viewing the device list
• Configuring unregistered device connection attempt handling
• Manually adding a device
• Blocking device connection attempts
• Configuring device groups
Viewing the device list
The device list displays devices allowed to connect to the FortiAnalyzer unit and
their connection permissions. It may also display unregistered devices attempting
to connect.
Connection attempts occur when a device sends traffic to the FortiAnalyzer unit
before you have added the device to device list on the FortiAnalyzer unit.
FortiAnalyzer units either ignore the connection attempt, or automatically add the
device to its device list. This connection attempt handling depends on the type of
the device attempting to connect, your selections in Unregistered Device Options,
and whether or not the maximum number of devices has been reached on the
FortiAnalyzer unit.
• For more information about connection attempt handling, see “Configuring
unregistered device connection attempt handling” on page 79 .
• For more information about the device number maximum, see “Maximum
number of devices” on page 76 .
• For more information about manually adding a device to the device list, see
“Manually adding a device” on page 80 .
You may want to block connection attempts from devices that you do not want to
add to the device list since connection attempts must be reconsidered with each
attempt. For more information, see
“Blocking device connection attempts” on
page 86 .
Note: Connection attempts not handled by the device list include log aggregation, log
forwarding, and SNMP traps. For more information about configuring connection handling
for those types, see
“Configuring log aggregation” on page 58 , “Configuring log forwarding”
on page 60 , and “Configuring SNMP traps and alerts” on page 136 .
