The course assumes you can already administer a FortiGate, so it builds on the FortiGate Administration course. The lab uses one FortiManager, FMG1, managing two FortiGates, FGT1 at headquarters and FGT2 at a branch. All addresses are examples. The lessons are written for FortiManager 7.6; menus and options differ a little between releases, so check your version's documentation when something looks different.

FortiOS 7.6 and FortiManager 7.6 are the baseline; each lesson states the release it was written for and whether FortiOS 7.4 has been reviewed. Example output is illustrative, based on Fortinet documentation.
