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.
