9. Determine whether your network supports IPv4-only, IPv6-only, or both IPv4 and IPv6 (Dual Stack). Choose 1for
IPv4-only, choose 2for IPv6-only, or choose 3for both IPv4 and IPv6.
10. If you choose 1(IPv4) or choose 3(Both IPv4 and IPv6), and press Next, then you will move to step 11. If you
choose 2(IPv6), and press Next, then skip to step 12.
11. Configure the network by entering the following fields. Note the IP Address--you will need it in a later step. Press
Next.
Option Description
IPv4 Address The Manager/Supervisor/Worker/Collector's IPv4
address
NetMask The Manager/Supervisor/Worker/Collector's
subnet
Gateway Network gateway address
DNS1, DNS2 Addresses of the DNS servers
12. If you chose 1in step 9, then you will need to skip to step 13. If you chose 2or 3in step 9, then you will configure
the IPv6 network by entering the following fields, then press Next.
FortiSIEM 6.6.2 2000G Hardware Configuration Guide 9

(Netmask)
The Manager/Supervisor/Worker/Collector's IPv6
prefix
Gateway ipv6 IPv6 Network gateway address
DNS1 IPv6,
DNS2 IPv6
Addresses of the IPv6 DNS server 1 and DNS
server2
Note: If you chose option 3in step 9 for both IPv4 and IPv6, then even if you configure 2 DNS servers for IPv4 and
IPv6, the system will only use the first DNS server from IPv4 and the first DNS server from the IPv6 configuration.
Note: In many dual stack networks, IPv4 DNS server(s) can resolve names to both IPv4 and IPv6. In such
environments, if you do not have an IPv6 DNS server, then you can use public IPv6 DNS servers or use IPv4-
mapped IPv6 address.
13. Configure Hostname for FortiSIEMManager/Supervisor/Worker/Collector. Press Next.
Note: FQDN is no longer needed.

14. Test network connectivity by entering a host name that can be resolved by your DNS Server (entered in the previous
step) and responds to ping. The host can either be an internal host or a public domain host like google.com. In
order for the migration to complete, the system still needs https connectivity to FortiSIEM OS update servers: os-
pkgs-cdn.fortisiem.fortinet.com and os-pkgs-c8.fortisiem.fortinet.com. Press Next.
Note: By default, “google.com” is shown for the connectivity test, but if configuring IPv6, you must enter an
accessible internally approved IPv6 DNS server, for example: “ipv6-dns.fortinet.com"
Note:When configuring both IPv4 and IPv6, only testing connectivity for the IPv6 DNSis required because the
IPV6 takes higher precedence. So update the host field with an approved IPv6 DNSserver.
15. The final configuration confirmation is displayed. Verify that the parameters are correct. If they are not, then press
Back to return to previous dialog boxes to correct any errors. If everything is OK, then press Run.
The options are described in the following table.

Installing Manager
Starting with release 6.5.0, you can install FortiSIEM Manager to monitor and manage multiple FortiSIEM instances. An
instance includes a Supervisor and optionally, Workers and Collectors. The FortiSIEM Manager needs to be installed on
a separate Virtual Machine and requires a separate license. FortiSIEM Supervisors must be on 6.5.0 or later versions.
Follow the steps in All-in-one Install to install Manager. After any Supervisor, Workers, and Collectors are installed, you
add the Supervisor instance to Manager, then Register the instance to Manager. See Registering Instances to
Manager.
Registering Instances to Manager
To register your Supervisor instance with Manager, you will need to do two things in the following order.
lFirst, add the instance to Manager
lThen register the instance itself to Manager
Note that Communication between FortiSIEM Manager and instances is via REST APIs over HTTP(S).
Adding Instance to Manager
You can add an instance to Manager by taking the following steps.
Note:Make sure to record the FortiSIEMInstance Name, Admin User and Admin Password, as this is needed when you
register your instance.
1. Login to FortiSIEM Manager.
2. Navigate to ADMIN>Setup.
3. Click New.
4. In the FortiSIEM Instance field, enter the name of the Supervisor instance you wish to add.
5. In the Admin User field, enter the Account name you wish to use to access Manager.
6. In the Admin Password field, enter the Password that will be associated with the Admin User account.
7. In the Confirm Admin Password field, re-enter the Password.
8. (Optional) In the Description field, enter any information you wish to provide about the instance.

9. Click Save.
10. Repeat steps 1-9 to add any additional instances to Manager.
Now, follow the instructions in Register the Instance Itself to Manager for each instance.
Register the Instance Itself to Manager
To register your instance with Manager, take the following steps.
1. From your FortiSIEMSupervisor/Instance, navigate to ADMIN > Setup > FortiSIEMManager, and take the
following steps.
a. In the FortiSIEM Manager FQDN/IP field, enter the FortiSIEM Manager Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) or IP address.
b. In the FortiSIEM Instance Name field, enter the instance name used when adding the instance to Manager.
c. In the Account field, enter the Admin User name used when adding the instance to Manager.
d. In the Password field, enter your password to be associated with the Admin User name.
e. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your password.
f. Click Test to verify the configuration.
g. Click Register.
A dialog box displaying "Registered successfully" should appear if everything is valid.

h. Login to Manager, and navigate to any one of the following pages to verify registration.
lADMIN>Setup and check that the box is marked in the Registered column for your instance.
lADMIN>Health, look for your instance under FortiSIEMInstances.
lADMIN>License, look for your instance under FortiSIEMInstances.
Registering Collectors
Collectors can be deployed in Enterprise or Service Provider environments.
lEnterprise Deployments
lService Provider Deployments
Enterprise Deployments
For Enterprise deployments, follow these steps.
1. Log in to Supervisor with 'Admin' privileges.
2. Go to ADMIN > Settings > System > Event Worker.
a. Enter the IP of the Worker node. If a Supervisor node is only used, then enter the IP of the Supervisor node.
Multiple IP addresses can be entered on separate lines. In this case, the Collectors will load balance the
upload of events to the listed Event Workers.
Note: Rather than using IP addresses, a DNS name is recommended. The reasoning is, should the IP
addressing change, it becomes a matter of updating the DNS rather than modifying the Event Worker IP
addresses in FortiSIEM.
b. Click OK.
3. Go to ADMIN > Setup > Collectors and add a Collector by entering:
a. Name – Collector Name
b. Guaranteed EPS – this is the EPS that Collector will always be able to send. It could send more if there is
excess EPS available.
c. Start Time and End Time – set to Unlimited.
4. SSH to the Collector and run following script to register Collectors:
# /opt/phoenix/bin/phProvisionCollector --add <user> '<password>' <Super IP or
Host> <Organization> <CollectorName>
The password should be enclosed in single quotes to ensure that any non-alphanumeric characters are escaped.
a. Set user and password use the admin User Name and password for the Supervisor
b. Set Super IP or Host as the Supervisor's IP address.
c. Set Organization. For Enterprise deployments, the default name is Super.
d. Set CollectorName from Step 2a.
The Collector will reboot during the Registration.
