The diagnose test deploymanager reloadconf command is a diagnostic tool used to force a resynchronization of a managed device's configuration with the FortiManager database. It instructs FortiManager to connect to the specified FortiGate (identified by ), retrieve its current running configuration, and then use that configuration to "reload" or overwrite the corresponding device-level database on FortiManager. This is typically used in troubleshooting scenarios where the configuration on FortiManager is out of sync or suspected to be corrupt, ensuring FortiManager has an accurate representation of the device's state.

A. This describes a configuration difference check (diff), which is a comparison function, not the primary purpose of the reloadconf command which is to retrieve and update.

C. This describes a policy package installation, which involves pushing configuration from FortiManager to a FortiGate. The reloadconf command performs the opposite action (pulling).

D. This describes a device-level configuration installation. The reloadconf command retrieves the configuration from the FortiGate, it does not install a configuration onto it.

"Synchronizing configuration". The guide discusses retrieving configuration and states

"You can retrieve the configuration of a device or VDOM... This is useful if the device configuration was changed locally on the device and you want to import the changes into the FortiManager system." The reloadconf command is a CLI method to force this retrieval and reload process.

Page 218. Under the diagnose test deploymanager command tree

the reloadconf command is explicitly defined with the description: "Reload device configuration from the device." This confirms the action is a pull from the FortiGate to update the FortiManager database.
