Hi guys, a friend of me is creating a new (small) office. In the old rooms he found an old (used) FortinetAP221E.He tried to use it but he said "on adding it to FortiNet" it says "already registrered to another company". How can we solve that issue or where is that shown? I tried to register on FortiNet Asset Management now by adding the serial number, but it says "Invalid input data". Maybe someone has a hint for us? Thanks.Andy

Hello!I have three site-to-site VPNs with AWS using static route and I want to switch to BGP routing.The articles I've read only deal with BGP with just a VPN, no redundancy.How do I configure the FGT BGP routes to use the three VPNs? FortiGate 

Dear colleagues, good afternoon. In this post I seek information on how to perform a configuration in Fortigate where I can prevent the equipment from reaching 80% CPU usage. This fact has occurred with some frequency lately. I would like advice on how to proceed in this situation. Thank you very much in advance for your attention and understanding.

I removed lan2 from the CLI, and noticed that it is now greyed out and missing from Network in the GUI.  Was expecting it to become a physical interface in Network when removed from the virtual-switch.Original configuration of virtual-switchconfig system virtual-switchedit "lan"config portedit "lan2"nextedit "lan3"nextendnextendI then ran the following commands:config system virtual-switchedit "lan"config portdelete "lan2"Then I tried to added it back in with:config system virtual-switchedit "lan"config portedit lan2It gave an error: entry not found in datasourceIf I do "edit ?" it shows that lan2 is not available:*name Physical interface name.lan3 interfaceconfig system interface does show a lan2How do I get it to show up as a physical interface via CLI after removing it from the virtual-switch?How do I re-add it to the virtual-switch from the CLI?

I have a FortiGate and a bunch of FortiSwitches that are being locally managed. I want to set up admin authentication using LDAP. I successfully configured this on the FortiGate but I can't get it to work on a FortiSwitch. Is this something that is just not possible? The switches are not linked with the firewall.

We have been using EMS previously for configure my FortiClients to autodeploy VPN connection using the classic SSLVPN with username/password options. Now we have configures our VPN connection to utilize AzureAD using SAML login.However, I dont see this option when configuring VPN settings in the EMS settings. On the client its a simple tick on/off option, but its seems like this is not possible when deploying the settings from EMS. Are there any tricks to utilize this? I have downloaded EMS 7.2, and there is not option to enable SSO, when configuring the VPN connection.  

 Dear community Hello,So i get reaaly hard stuck at joining the internal DNS servers with my fortigates.In the setup that follows i have a simple 60F, with a flat subnet behind it, no vlans,no subnets, evertyhing coming through a vswitch in FGT and the out tou the wan link.The goal is for my endpoints from the ssl vpn tunnel to be able to resolve internal devices DNS names.These endpoints are not domain joined.Neither the internal are Also ssl vpn simple set up with Domain users and local ones(not a web mode one).Split tunneling is disabled  Problem is i cant resolve DNS names neither from the clients side when connected through the ssl vpn tunnel,nor from the command line of the FGTs.

Hi All, I had try to find any CLI command everywhere for fortigate to display the status of the power supply unit when doing UAT, Power Redundancy Test.

HiiCould someone help me please to identify the problem I don't know why this traffic is blocked and it affects our ADSync Server online syncronization  

Hi, On FortiGate, an IPsec Tunnel is configured to the AWS site-to-site VPN, which is the only configuration to communicate to the outside. However, I have found some internet-service-name configs(ISDB) unintentionally rewrote like FortiGuard synchronized updates. I wonder why this FortiGate can communicate with FortiGuard under the condition that IPsec Tunnel to the AWS site-to-site VPN is the only way and. The configuration is like this:---config firewall policyedit 1set srcintf "LAN"set dstintf "AWS_Tunnel"set action acceptset srcaddr "all"set dstaddr "all"set schedule "always"set service "ALL"--- I would really appreciate if anyone gives an advice. Thank you,
