To operate FortiGate and FortiManager in a closed network with no internet connection for either unit then follow this document:

If the FortiGate does not have an internet connection, FortiManager can act as a FortiGuard proxy to validate licences.įortiManager itself still requires an internet connection and the FortiGates will need a connection to the FortiManager.
