Hello Fortinet Community Users!As you have seen in recent banner updates, we are in the process of upgrading the Fortinet Community. Our long-term goal with this change is to provide a foundation for a more modern user experience that scales with all of us as we grow the Fortinet Community together. Phase 1 Starting the Week of April 13thPhase 1 migrates all the great Community content you have been a part of creating over the past 10 years. Future releases will add personalization, more localization options, and additional functionality to make it easier to create and consume content. Key dates and what to expectRead‑only window: The current Community will be read‑only starting the week of April 13 and will remain read‑only for ~6–7 days before the new site launches. We apologize in advance for this unavoidable part of this project. 2‑hour production test: We will switch to the new Community for 2 hours on April 16th from 10:00 AM PST to Noon PST. The new site will function normally
Hi allI have noticed a weird issue, client had a power outage over the weekend as the redid the server room UPS.Now my AP’s show “Connected VIA” my VOIP interface on the FortiGate, even tough they are connected via FortiSwitches and the LLDP Neighbors are correct, also the IP’s they get are from my DATA VLAN.They use to say connected via DATA VLAN and once rebooted they now show VOIP. all troubleshooting points to they are indeed connect via DATA VLAN.GUI BUG? FortiGate 7.4.12 , FortiSwitches 7.4.8 and FortiAP’s 7.4.6Please let me know if anyone has experienced this and why now all of the sudden?
Hello,I need to grant a specific USER/IP access to a specific path, which is as follows:https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.36.1/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exeI usually use STATIC URL entries, where I typically set the FQDN to “SIMPLE” and “MONITOR” modes—meaning I just use dl.k8s.io—but in this case, I’m required to ensure that only the specified source has access to the URL I’ve provided.Is there anything specific I need to do to achieve this?What are the correct “Type” and “Action” to use in this scenario?Do I need to take the “SSL/SSH Inspection” configuration into account?Thanks for your feedback.
I couldn’t find much information on enabling the all events portion of FortiClient EMS (I’m running 7.4.7). After a couple of weeks playing with it I finally got it working. But just a quick overview I wanted to post in case others have tried and failed at setting this up. So what you need to do is setup a Linux VM (I used Debian 13 Trixie) and install ElasticSearch. Then you have to make sure its reachable on the network by modifying the YML file. Then install Kibana and do the same for it. Kibana is the GUI management tool that makes working with ElasticSearch easier. Then you create an API Key for FortiEMS. Then you upload the http_ca.crt to FortiEMS. Then you run the emscli command for enabling ElasticSearch. That is pretty much the overall process.
Hello,I currently have SSL VPN active and I want to switch to IPsec VPN (IKEv2 Remote Access).Environment:FortiGate model: FG-101FFortiOS version: 7.4.11VPN type: IKEv2 IPsec Remote AccessAuthentication: FortiAuthenticator 6.5.6 build 1391 (GA) with OTPDirectory: LDAP users and groups from Active DirectoryClient: FortiClient 7.4.3 Hotfix 1 (7.4.3.8758)I am configuring an IKEv2 IPsec remote access VPN that authenticates users via FortiAuthenticator using LDAP credentials and OTP.The VPN connection is not successfully established from FortiClient.Phase 1 (SA_INIT) completes successfully, but the connection fails during user authentication (EAP phase).FortiClient shows the following error:Wrong EAP credentialsHas anyone encountered this issue when using IKEv2 with EAP authentication and FortiAuthenticator OTP?Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.Thank you.
I am setting up 802.1x with clearpass and most of my switch are running 7.6.1 or lower and are working fine. I upgraded 2 switches this morning to 7.6.6 and now they absolutely refuse to work if I have the 802.1x security policy on the ports. Worked fine on 7.6.1. Not even DHCP is getting passed to the native vlan.I've spend the majority of my day trying to find a way to work around this today and am at the end of my chain.I can't even roll back to 7.6.1 because I don't have switch support to download.I ran a sniffer on the fortigate and the switch doesn't send a single RADIUS packet when a port comes up.Anyone have any suggestions?
What am i missing with the configuration:I get the dialup VPN to connect(i.e i am connecting from the PC at port 5 and using 10.10.0.1 as my gateway in forticlient, and i can see that it assigns the correct VPN according to my mode cfg, but when i inspect the vpn logs for the vpn_user_site, there is no traffic traversing the vpn. And even if i do a packet capture of the s2s tunnel interface, or port 5 interface, or both port 1 interfaces on the firewalls, i get no instance of 10.101.101.254 as the destination address. I am new to this and don’t understand the tunnel within a tunnel concept really that well, hence the lab setup i have.To my understanding the only thin i need is a policy that allows the traffic from the remote access vpn to the LO0 interface? I am missing something (since it is not currently working haha, so if anyone has insights or can explain to me how this would be setup correctly. It would be much appreciated.
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a strange issue with an IPsec Dial-up VPN after migrating users from SSL VPN. The environment is FortiGate 400F with FortiClient VPN 7.4.3.4323 on macOS Sonoma 14.1. The problem only affects macOS clients; Windows clients using the same VPN configuration and user account work correctly. Split tunneling is enabled, and all firewall address objects are configured correctly as /24. However, after connecting from macOS, one of the split-tunnel routes is installed with an incorrect mask (for example, 10.10.10.0/24 becomes 10.10.10.0/31). If I remove that subnet from the split-tunnel group, the issue moves to the next subnet (10.10.11.0/24 becomes 10.10.11.0/31), so the problem follows the route order rather than a specific network. I also tested with a split-tunnel group containing only three networks, and everything works correctly on macOS. The production split-tunnel group contains around 190–200 routes. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows wheth

Hello, I am working on deploying Data Loss Prevention through our Fortigates in our organization. So far it has worked pretty well, and I was beginning to look at using a EDM template of Medication names provided by the FDA so that we can use it as a possible match of uploaded PHI.Currently I am running into a issue with the EDM template parameters, where it will not match against anything using the edm-keyword data type. Using a test CSV with a fake SSN, the ssn-us keyword does work, but nothing I try with edm-keyword works. I know that the file be checked against the DLP profile by checking the logs. I have tested this with dlptest.ai by Fortinet and also other sites we are wanting this DLP filter on. DLP works otherwise as well, the other rules I make are working, just not the EDM template in the way I want to use it. The Fortigate I am testing with is running 7.4.11, this is temporary though as we are working to move to 7.6.x as we move away from SSL VPN.Am I missing something in t

A couple days ago, I helped one of my clients with installing the FortiClient v7.4.5 on his computer using the FortiClientSetup_7.4.5_x64.exe file. But after the setup process was completed, we noticed that the domain name was not correct; it was showing the domain name of his current company that he works for instead of the domain name of his contractor’s company. So I tried to uninstall the program from Windows Control Panel → Programs and Features → Select FortiClient, but it did not let me uninstall the program. I tried clicking the Repair button, too, but it also did not work.I tried browsing to https://support.fortinet.com -> Support -> Firmware Downloads -> Products, but I got the following message: Sorry, you don't have any product covered by Fortinet support contract.Please contact Fortinet partners to purchase Fortinet support contract or Fortinet customer service team at cs@fortinet.com.And I asked my client if he knew who to contact to download the FortiClientTools
in the radius log i can see mac address 9C:57:AD:B5:E3:2A got vlan 37But on host detail the endpoint got vlan 38And the client is not geeting ip, anyone know why?
Dear Experts,I’m working with FortiWeb, which deployed 6-8 months ago and security policy in monitor mode. Now, customer decided to change security policy to Blocking Mode from Monitor mode.I have checked for Fortinet official document, but didn’t see any recommendation or workaround for such transition from Monitor mode to Blocking mode. Appreciate, if experts can advise on this. Regards, Faridul
Hi,FortiGate 7.6.7, IKEv2 dialup with EAP, mode-cfg and IPv4 split tunnel enabled. internal-domain-list is configured, but split DNS never takes effect: every DNS query from the client reaches the FortiGate, not only the two internal domains.config vpn ipsec phase1-interface edit "<tunnel>" set type dynamic set interface "<wan-if>" set ike-version 2 set peertype one set net-device disable set mode-cfg enable set ipv4-dns-server1 <internal-dns-ip> set internal-domain-list "domain1.local" "domain2.local" set eap enable set eap-identity send-request set ipv4-split-include "<split-group>" nextendVerified with: diagnose sniffer packet any "port 53" 4 0 l — public domains such as google.com show up as well.

When i have a new ipphone connected to the network then fnac will move this ipphone to registration vlan before device profiling is running. After device profilling run then i can see the ipphone move to host role ‘IP Phone’ and registered’But after the devices was profiled then how the vlan can be changed automatically to voice vlan? The only way the ip phone get the voice vlan after the ip phone registered by profiling is reboot the ip phone.
Based on below article, can i know if every group in fnac inventory should have L3 device for L3 polling?
Dear Community,I am writing you all because in my Company we have massive Issues with FortiClient (EMS) on the macOS Clients. I am working as IT Administrator and I am responsible for the MacBook’s.The problem:On the Mac Devices we have since many months the problem that when connected with the VPN the Download Speed is extremely low. We have an External Internet Connection at Work with 100 Mbit/s. With WiFi i get WITHOUT VPN like 80-100 Mbit/s. With VPN ON i get like 5 to 10 Mbit/s (with LAN connection it’s a little bit better). There were also days where it was more so its really inaccurate. The Upload Speed is the same with VPN ON and OFF. ~ 40 Mbit/s. For Windows VPN OFF and VPN ON is the same Download Speed. Some informations:EMS Policies are the same for the Windows- and the macOS Clients We have this features: Remote Access (SSLVPN with Split Tunneling, Webfilter and Vulnerability Scan) Windows Devices are still on 7.2.14 and macOS Devices are on 7.4.5 (I also tested today 7.4.7
When we use DHCP fingerprint for device profiling then we need to add ip helper on L3 interface. How if the L3 using fortigate, there is no ip helper command?
Hello,If we need to deploy a cluster of two FortiGate firewalls as VMs without using the virtual MAC (vMAC), and instead use the hypervisor-assigned MAC address of each firewall interface, I would like to confirm whether this type of cluster configuration is supported.In other words, is it possible to operate a FortiGate HA cluster without using the vMAC mechanism and have each firewall use its own physical/virtual interface MAC address during a failover event?Thank you for your clarification.
Hi,I would like to just ask around (not going to open an official case with fortinet just now) if any of you have noticed something similar recently.I have a very low but increasing number of users that start up their laptops in the morning and the Forticlient ZTNA has lost it's license resp. the affiliation to the EMS cloud. No config left, not connected.The respective laptops do not show up in EMS any longer. When I enter a new invitation code in the Forticlient incl. User verification, it connects again and receives config and all is good.I can rule out that the user hit the "disconnect" button on the ems connection because that is password protected.The only thing common, that I think I identified, is that all affected users don't connect to the vpn daily.
