What must an administrator do to synchronize a newly created address object in FortiGate?

To synchronize a newly created address object in FortiGate, the administrator needs to change the csf setting on the Local-FortiGate to set fabric-object-unification as the default. This setting is crucial because it ensures that all FortiGate devices in a security fabric can share and synchronize their object definitions, such as address objects, seamlessly.

When fabric-object-unification is enabled, it allows for a more efficient management of object definitions across the security fabric, meaning that once an address object is created on one device, it will propagate that information to other devices within the security fabric setup. This synchronization process minimizes configuration inconsistencies and ensures that all devices have a unified view of the network objects.

The other options do not effectively address the synchronization of address objects in the context of FortiGate’s security fabric. Rebooting the Local-FortiGate does not influence the synchronization process and is generally unnecessary for changes of this nature. Creating a new address object in a downstream FortiGate is redundant and does not facilitate the synchronization of an address object created on another device. Disabling and re-enabling security fabric mode would disrupt the network configuration and is not a standard procedure for synchronizing objects. Thus, changing the csf setting to enable fabric
