Fortigate Using Azure Blob

Creating Storage Account and Private Container

Log in to Azure’s console and create a storage account and private container in the Azure blob for bootstrap with a unique name (for example "bootstrap-fortigate), using steps 2 and 3 in this guide with the following structure:

Storage Account
    Container
        fortigatebootstrap/
            init.txt
            license.txt

Uploading Config Files

  1. The example init.conf file contains the "Allow All" setup. To download the file, click init.txt.

  2. For the example license.lic file (optional), click license.txt.

  3. Upload these two files in the blob. Please follow Step 4 in this guide.
