Connect your Fortinet FortiWiFi (FortiOS, Wi-Fi models) so Myrmex can read its configuration, audit its hardening, help you clean up policies, and — with approval — apply changes. Myrmex reaches the device over SSH through a Collector on your network, on demand — nothing is stored on the Myrmex side.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read & troubleshoot

Inspect system status, interfaces, routing, sessions, policies, VPNs, Wi-Fi SSIDs, and HA — read-only diagnostics, pulled live.

Hardening audit

Run a Security Posture audit across the device’s FortiOS hardening controls.

Policy hygiene

Find shadowed, unused, or zero-hit firewall policies and propose cleanups.

Backup & diff

Back up the configuration on demand and compare revisions over time; with approval, apply rule and VPN changes.

​
Before You Start

  • A Collector deployed on a network that can reach the FortiWiFi’s management IP over SSH. See Deploying the agent.
  • SSH enabled on the FortiWiFi management interface.
  • An administrator account Myrmex can use to log in (a read-only profile is enough for analysis; a read-write profile is required to apply changes).

​
Step 1 — Create the Access Account on FortiWiFi

1

Enable SSH on the management interface

In Network → Interfaces, edit the management interface and enable SSH under Administrative Access.
2

Create an admin profile (optional, recommended)

In System → Admin Profiles, create a profile scoped to what Myrmex should do — read-only for analysis, or read-write to allow changes.
3

Create the administrator

In System → Administrators, add an administrator with a strong password and assign the profile above (use the super_admin profile for full access). Note the username and password — you’ll enter them in Myrmex.
Prefer least privilege: start with a read-only account, and only grant read-write once you want the agents to apply changes for you.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → FortiWiFi, then fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the SSH connection and finish. The FortiWiFi then appears under Environment → Integrations, and you can start asking the AI about it in the Workspace.
This integration is operated by the Integration Specialist agent, which runs the FortiOS CLI on your behalf. Browse more connectors in the Integrations directory.
