Good day,I am new to Fortinet, I am use to the Cisco product line and wish to expand my knowledge further, using Fortinet products way forward.Mode chosen: Gateway modeDeployment type: Forti mail in the DMZ or Behind the FortiGateCould someone kindly assist me step by step(probably u did for your environment/similar if possible) how to carefully deploy a Forti mail VM to manage and monitor my email traffic in Gateway mode. I have read via the 7.4.1 admin guide, other admin guides, watched a few YouTube videos and NO real guidance, step by step solution, not even a workable template based setup for Forti mail, just a bunch of webinars, chatting and simple setups(telling/referring you to go read this entire document(admin guide), no real lab scenarios at all. I have configured/setup and deployed many devices, network solutions in infrastructure environments/datacenters, some all by myself, others with help of comrades, video guides and straightforward - coherent reading material. But I a

Hello, I have a 1101f series firewall. I want to connect 6 fortiswitches. When I connect the switches over fortilink by jumping from each other, there is no problem and all of them get ip and the connection status is actively monitored. However, when I need to connect with different 6 ports of the firewall (due to the wiring structure of the building), I enter 6 ports into fortilink. When I connect the switches, they get ip first, but the connections go immediately. DHCP does not work and they cannot get ip. What is the reason for this?In addition, I created a fortilink port as a Hardware Switch. When I put the ports into it, all switches get ip but only 2 of them seem to be active. I can reach the others but they do not seem active. What could be the reason for this?

I know I setup some VLANs on my FG60F a while back, but when I look at the interfaces in the GUI, they don't show up. How can I view my VLANs either in the GUI or even command line?

Hi All, Sorry, my first post here, and forgive me if this has already been asked earlier.What firewall will do if it receives SYN, ACK (half-open session) packet or subsequent packets for an already established session on a different interface (not the one where the packet was sent out)?  Thanks,Myky

Hello team, I have the following problem when a device connects to an SSID.Basically when a device connects to this specific SSID it fails to get the 'ip address in DHCP. This is the traffic flow:Device --> FortiAP --> FGT200F --> MPLS Circuit --> Fortinet 400F (fortiAP was added here) .The authentication via Radius occurs successfully while the release of an ip address does not. The DHCP server and Radius server are two different virtual machines.I see from the logs that the correct vlan is pushed to the device but the DHCP request goes timed-out. I kindly ask:On the network interface of the SSID should DHCP relay be enabled ?Should policies be created to allow DHCP traffic from this interface to the DHCP server ?Should vlan31 be carried from the interface where the FortiAP is connected to the firewall interface where vlan31 is connected ? Thanks for the supportBR

HelloI have a FortiNet and I would like to connect a FortiAPI have connected the FortiAP to a switch (management vlan) which is connected to the FortiGate.The thing is that from the Fortinet "Managed FortiAps" appears in (Offline). However, the FortiAP responds to ping on the network.Is it necessary to connect the FortiAP directly to the FortiNet for it to detect it?If not, why does it appear Offline?

Dear All,I'm using the FortiGate 100D and I am using 802.3ad Aggregate interface. One another device is plugged into another port of the FortiGate (port 3) (IP static is 10.199.139.200). I have created one policy for I can go to that port 3 but I can't ping to the IP 10.199.139.200 when I'm in the 802.3ad Aggregate interface network. I can ping that IP from FortiGate. I don't why?

Let's say my environment consists of 1 spoke and two hubs. All sites have at least 1 ISP. There is an MPLS link between each spoke and the hub, no MPLS between spokes.Spokes will route through the Hub via MPLS via OSPF to reach each other.If an MPLS link fails at the spoke, I'd like to IPSec to the Hub and other spokeIf an ISP link fails at a spoke, I want to use the underlying routing protocol to route through the Hub for internet traffic.In this scenario, should both the ISP and MPLS links be in the same SD-WAN zone like "underlay"? Or should they be separate zones like "mpls" and "isp" ?Looking for any best practices on how to create zones based on topology and use case.Don

Dear All, Need help for configuring Source IP on FortiAuthenticator to connect with FortiAnalyzer, I can't see any configuration to change source IP on FortiAuthenticator eventhough I am accessing via ssh, there is no available command to configure source IP. FortiAuthenticator using two ports (port1 & port2) default for communication with FortiAnalyzer is with port1. Can I change it to port2?I can see the setting in Fortigate but not with FortiAuthenticator. Please help to advice.FortiAuthenticator FortiAnalyzer

I was tasked with leading a POC for the FortiEMS system to help manage our VPN already in place. A senior teammate set up the server months prior before I took this project and passed it off to me. I grabbed a clean install of Windows machine that is not on the domain and used that one to test on. The first install worked great, registered itself, and stayed online. Wanting to become proficient with the EMS server, I unregistered the device, deleted it from the EMS server, and then uninstalled it from the test machine. I recreated a new invite and now it refuses to connect.     I am looking for any FAQ or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue. Did I go about this incorrectly?

Hello team, i have a question about Netflow.Netflow is clear to me that it can be enabled on a network interface to track traffic either in RX or TX or both. I wanted to know if it is possible to enable netflow only for a certain type of traffic and not for all traffic to pass the interface where it is enabled.I looked in the official documentation but could not find anything about it. Thanks for the helpBR

I have SSID verification on fortigate firewall with Fortinac radius. I have a problem like this. Although there is mschapv2 in the radius settings, a user in the domain joins the network without any problems, while the user I created as a guest in the Fortinac interface Credentials Invalid (MSCHAP2) error, what is the reason for this? 

I have recently set up some SSL VPN Portals on a Fortigate, that are mapped to specific groups, the Fortigate is a Radius client from the FAC, The FAC uses LDAP to look up the user in AD, then looks at RSA for a token to authenticate the users.   All of the above is working abolutely fine, except for groups being passed to the Firewall to be used in the Portal mappings and Policies. I have to create a user on the Gate as a remote radius user, using the same name exactly that the FAC uses. this works... but some of the portals have 30-40 users. I had to create 30-40 individial users with the same name as the FAC.   Groups dont work in the same way, The documentation say you just create a Firewall Group with the same name on the Firewall, and make sure the FAC is sending the group-name attribute, which in my case it is., but it doesnt work, I have to switch back to using username. is this a bug?

I have a problem with Fortinac. Quarantine vlan defined in fortinac interfaceFortinac port 2 ip address10.10.24.100Quarantine vlan10.10.22.10-10.10.22-250I turned on vlan quarantine in Fortigate firewallGateway10.10.22.1DHCP relay 10.10.24.100When I do this, a user who enters the quarantine vlan gets ip without any problem.But my main problem is thisI have a domain and users log in with LDAP. However, in the quarantine vlan, the user cannot log in. It gives a domain error. If I manually enter the domain in the DNS section in the network settings, it gets better. But I cannot add DNS because DHCP distributes nac.How can I solve this?

Is there a way we can tell how much memory has been allocated to Fortiauthenticator VM. All I see is a System resource widget which tells me memory allocation not the total amount of memory and 'get system status' does not help either?  Tried looking in admin guide could not find any reference. 

I have 2 vlans named Nac vlan and quarantine vlan.The nac vlan is defined in Fortinac ethernet2. dhcp relay to the nac vlan is available in my quarantine vlan. the two vlans communicate with each other and with the active directory. However, I have a problem like this. a device that has just joined the network joins the quarantine vlan. although the quarantine vlan has communication with the active directory, I cannot get the device to the domain. when I enter the ip address of the active directory as dns to the device in quarantine, I can get the device to the domain. why could this problem be? or is there a place where I can enter dns under the quarantine vlan?

Hello, everyone,I would like some advice on how I could make a bridge of a LAN subnet over a WAN connection.I would like to use a GRE tunnel that succeeds through an IPSEC connection between the two FGTs the ability to reach hosts from the other site that share the same subnet. However, I have not found many examples of this configuration.Instead, I have seen a solution called Lan Extension that uses an IPSEC tunnel where VxLANs are carried. It is a solution that I see as very complicated to put on .Do you have experiences for this kind of needs and scenarios ?Thanks   Fabio

Hi, how is it possible to classify alerts coming from FortiSIEM (or coming from other)? I would like to be able to decide, based on the contents of a field, which playbook to activate. I can do this in a playbook that identifies the type of alerts and activates the corresponding subplaybooks. Is there a better way?

Hello,   We currently use a single VPN to get into our office, this VPN is using a software switch as the interface.   However, I need to create another VPN for a separate purpose (because I need to provide another subnet range to these special VPN clients). I have tried creating another VPN and I have added the same software switch as the interface, but I am unable to connect to this VPN.   This software interface has 1 main gateway IP and 4 secondary external IP addresses.   How can I implement this second VPN?   Thanks
