Hello Everyone: We need to reset an FAP-234F-A to factory defaults because we don't have the admin password. Here are the details: 1. We have the unit connected to a FortiGate 40F, which has the default IP address of 192.168.1.99 for now while we set things up. The FAP-234F-A is set to 192.168.1.2 and we can ping it and browse to the GUI. 2. The QuickStart Guide for this unit says that it comes with a special POE injector that has a reset button on it because the AP doesn't. Probably because it's a ruggedized outdoor unit and having a reset button would compromise the ruggedness. The model number of the PO injector that shows in the QSG is EPA5006GPR-4P. It's made by EnGenius, but the only one they have is the EPA5006GR, so we bought that one. It has a reset button on it but pressing it for more than 10 seconds doesn't reset the AP to factory defaults. It does nothing. Probably because it's slightly different than the EPA5006GPR-4P and the pinout

Hello everyone, I’ve been reading a few articles about FortiNAC configuration and got a bit confused. Some sources mention that it’s not recommended to configure RADIUS, L2 MAC traps, and syslogs together, and that the preferred option is just L2 MAC traps. But in another article, I read that configuring syslog is recommended.  https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiNAC/Technical-Tip-An-example-of-a-simple-network-deployment-of/ta-p/266446 BR,

Hello everyone, So I know when a guest (rogue) first connects to a switch port, they are isolated and need to register/auth with the captive portal based of the group membership/enforcement group configured on that port. I get this part. My question is for corporate devices, do they need to authenticate via the captive portal each time they connect ? BR,

Hi, I did some comparison for throughput of Fortigate IPSEC tunnel on AWS. Here are my findings:Encryption load is not scaled between multiple CPU cores (not a surprise)A more complex (higher DH-group or hash function) does not result in worse performanceAES256GCM (and other non AES-CBC algorithms) were a (bad) surpriseGiven that additional CPU cores did not improve the throughput, I only tested instances with 2 vCPUs. Instance c7i.large, aes256-sha512 dh-group 21: 2 Gbit/sInstance c5n.large, aes256-sha512 dh-group 21: 1.43 Gbit/sInstance c7i.large, aes256gcm dh-group 21: 70 Mbit/s (!) Is there any guidance available which is the best (most optimized) instance / cipher combination to get max throughput on AWS ec2?

Hi,I want to understand what's the steps for configure a secret with domain credentials (a secret in my personal folder) and use it in other windows/ssh secrets and targets(shared in the public folder with others).Obviously every user needs to have its domain credentials. The users in fortipam must be local users. I'im trying to do this with smart associations but with some difficulties. Thanks in advance

I have a Fortigate Instance deployed on AWS with 4 ENIs.. instance type c5.xlarge Recently we reduced the license from 4vCPU to 2vCPU and now i am looking to change the instance type accordingly. But as i am using 4ENIs the only viable option i see with 2vCPU is r7i.large .. will it support the fortigate vm or are there any other checks i need to look into ? or a compatibility matrix Thanks

hi, we want to add blackhole route on fortigate to save the resource. we have one public subnet for example 192.1.0.0/24.Some IP addresses of this subnet are configured on internal servers behind the internet firewall. static routes are configured for this 2x IP on the firewall.    192.1.0.10 configured on internal server 1   192.1.0.11 configured on internal server 2And some IP addresses of the subnet 192.1.0.0/24 are configured on SNAT and DNAT rules.    192.1.0.101 is used as source NATTED IP for some internal hosts.   192.1.0.201 is used as Destination IP on DNAT rule. Now we want to drop the inbound access to the rest IP addresses of the subnet 192.1.0.0/24 on firewall. We plan to add a blackhole rule on the firewall to save the resource. Will this blackhole routing rule affect SNAT and DNAT? I think it should not affect, but not very sure. Can anyone please help to and advise and confirm? Thanks in advance! &nb

I connected my fabric root FortiGate, which happen to be my edge firewall to the FortiClient EMS Cloud just fine via the fabric connector. My other fabric FortiGates show up in EMS Fabric soon after, so I authorized them there and attempted to finish the authorization at the fabric firewalls. When I click authorize on the fabric connector on the firewall, I am presented with the certificate to accept or deny. I accept and it goes back to the fabric connectivity window for EMS Cloud on the FortiGate in question, yet never "connects"... it's still in that pending state of showing the EMS Cloud information coming from my root, yet will not connect successfully like my fabric root edge firewall did.

I’m trying to configure remote administrator access via SSH on a FortiGate using RADIUS (FortiAuthenticator), where the admin privileges on the FortiGate depend on the user’s Fortinet VSA (e.g. Attribute: Fortinet-Group-Name, value: ADMIN_FORTIGATE) and corresponding remote-group mapping.Goal: allow different remote admins to log in via SSH with different admin access profiles, for example a read-only admin using the built-in super_admin_readonly (or a custom read-only accprofile).I noticed that:If the admin entry is configured with set accprofile "super_admin", SSH login works and the FortiGate does send RADIUS Access-Request to FAC.If the same admin is configured with any other accprofile , SSH login fails with a generic Failed password, and no RADIUS traffic is generated at all.So, it looks like remote admin authentication via SSH is only triggered when the admin has&nb

Here is a cleaner and more professional version for your post:Hello everyone,I’m currently working with a FortiExtender (FEX) using LTE connectivity, and I’m facing an issue related to public IP changes.Every time the LTE provider assigns a new IP address, the connection drops completely. The only way to restore connectivity is by rebooting the FortiExtender.Has anyone experienced a similar behavior?I would like to understand:Is this expected behavior with LTE dynamic IP?Is there any configuration (keepalive, DPD, monitoring, etc.) that can prevent losing connectivity after an IP change?Would enabling specific SD-WAN or tunnel monitoring settings help in this case?Any recommendations or best practices would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Hi,I tested a FortiExtender LAN Extension on an FGVM-02. After removing the Extender configuration, only the tunnel interface remains, which cannot be deleted. The error message is: (phase2-interface) # delete fext-ipsec-***Can not delete a static table entryCommand fail. Return code -61 Does anyone have an idea how I can remove it? Thanks. 

Hey guysI already know that we can update IPS Engine manually.https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-manually-upgrade-the-IPS-Engine/ta-p/194513https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Upgrading-IPS-Engine-on-the-primary-FortiGate-will/ta-p/202345But can we update IPS Engine automatically ? Are there any related document ?

Hi all. A dump question.Can we install the AD connector within the AD server?Cause in the article didn't mention about the connector is not allowed to install with the AD server.It only mention install in the host that can connect to both EMS and AD server but the host spec also not given.    

Hi to all,I would like to disable VPN on my Fortigate. It was configured by the company who installed the firewall but I will not use it. Which command do I have to run because I have asked to the Forticare and they told me to run the following which does not seem to correspond to unable the VPN but the opposite: config vpn ipsec phase1-interface    edit "VPN_Forticlient"        set type dynamic        set interface "wan"        set peertype any        set net-device disable        set mode-cfg enable        set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1        set comments "VPN: VPN_Forticlient (Created by VPN wizard)"        set wizard-type dialup-forticlient        set xauthtype auto        set authusrgrp "VPN_Group"        set i

We have several user groups mapped to separate, corresponding SSL-VPN Portals. Each of these portals has Split Tunnel Enabled Based on Policy Destination. Each of these portals also has Routing Address Override with network addresses that match the same "allowed destination" addresses in their corresponding policies. Is Routing Address Override even needed?According to Split Tunnel Enabled Based on Policy Destination, "Only client traffic in which the destination matches the destination of the configured firewall policies will be directed over the SSL-VPN tunnel."So in an example where the Accounting network is 192.168.0.0/24 and a user is in the Accounting Group, which is assigned to the Accounting Policy (that allows access to the 192.168.0.0/24 network); Would I even need any address in the Routing Address Override for the Accounting SSL-VPN Portal?From what I understand, any traffic to 192.168.0.0/24 would go over the SSL-VPN with Split Tunnel Enabled Based on Policy Destinati

Our district has started an esports program and we're having difficulties with Nintendo Switches on our network. NAT Type is B. UDP ports are not blocked. When hosting a game on a switch on our network, those outside the network cannot connect. They get a NAT Transversal error. What settings do I need to have on the FortiGate to allow esports traffic for the Nintendo Switches?

When we use IPSec for remote access with Split tunnel enabled, can we make the fortiget to not set dns in the client?Now when the forticlient connected to the VPN then the client can't access the local domain.
