Troubleshoot Troubleshooting Device Connectivity States

Last updated: Aug 27, 2025

Device Connectivity States

You can view the connectivity states of the devices onboarded in your Firewall Manager tenant. This topic helps you understand the various connectivity states. On the Security Devices page, the Connectivity column displays the device connectivity states.

When the device connectivity state is 'Online' it means that the device is powered on and connected to Firewall Manager. The other states described in the table below usually occur when the device is running into problems for various reasons. The table provides the method to recover from such problems. It may be that there is more than one problem causing the connection failure. When you attempt to reconnect, Firewall Manager will prompt you to fix all of these problems first before performing the reconnect.

Device Connectivity State	Possible Reasons	Resolution
Online	Device is powered on and connected to Firewall Manager.	NA
Offline	Device is powered down or lost network connectivity.	Check whether the device is offline.
Insufficient licenses	Device doesn't have sufficient licenses.	Troubleshoot Insufficient Licenses
Invalid credentials	Username and password combination used by Firewall Manager to connect to the device is incorrect.	Troubleshoot Invalid Credentials
Onboarding	Device onboarding is initiated but is not complete.	Check you device's connectivity and ensure you complete the device registration.
Unknown	Device onboarding failed and Firewall Manager cannot fetch the connectivity state of the device.	On the Security Devices page, select the device and choose Check for Changes from the right pane, to attempt fetching the latest configuration from the device.
Pending Setup	Device registration has failed.	Troubleshoot Onboarding a Device to the Cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center Using the CLI Registration Key
New Certificate Detected	Certificate on the device has changed. If the device uses a self-signed certificate, then this could have happened due to the device being power cycled.	Troubleshoot New Certificate Issues
Device Unregistered	FDM-managed device has been unregistered from Cloud via FDM.	Troubleshoot Device Unregistered
Onboarding Error	Firewall Manager may have lost connectivity with the device when onboarding it.	Troubleshoot Onboarding Error
