Solved

Hi all, We have a Fortigate 40F (7.6.x) with the following configured:1) WAN x.y.z.138 public address (connected to Internet)2) LAN 192.168.1.2543) VIP : x.y.z.136 --> 192.168.1.6 4) Two firewall rules: one allowed all sources to access the VIP , the other allowed x.y.z.0/24 to access the VIP The VIP forwarding is working fine except for client with x.y.z.133 (same network with Fortigate's WAN), from which all requests are just time-out and no response. Any idea is appreciated !Kenny Lin

Hello FNAC admins,What's the most recommended method(s) in device profiling rules ? I know it depends for each scenario. Also I wanna know if it's best to use many methods in one rule, or each rule better have one method ? Thanks in advanceBR,

Hello FNAC admin,Correct me if i'm wrong, apparently if you register a host through the host view (users & hosts > hosts), the user doesnt have to go through registration again. Does that mean that the user is like in a safe/whitelist ? Register host to user  BR,

Hi,our firewall is in version 7.6 and we have multi-vdom. I notice that from the vdoms, I can configure tacacs: #config user tacacs+, however when I'm in global, I don't have this command. is that a way to configure it under Global (#config global #config user tacacs+ ) rather than going to individual vdom and do it (#config vdom #edit x #config user tacacs)? Also if I have a ha cluster (active-passive), I suppose I don't need to config anything on passive devices, as the config getting synchronised through all the firewalls? Thanks

Hello FNAC admins,I'm reading this part of the administration guide "DNS configuration and I don't quite understand what this configuration actually do, is it a mandatory step in fortinac's deployment or we can skip it ? Thanks in advance.BR,

Hello FNAC admins,I came across this in the admin guide "You must have a license for the guest manager feature" in the Guest and contractor chapter, do we need a specific FNAC licence to manage guests and contractors ? BR,

Hey allUsing a 'hybrid' network model with Fortigate 80F and a Cisco catalyst 9200LForti handles the routing and is relayed to Cisco.Im trying to relay OSPF routes learnt by Fortigate into iBGP handled by our ISP, however its not working.i can see in Forti that the routes are connected locally but not propagated into BGPI get routes from BGP so i can confirm that its working atleast one way, but not the other.Im trying to propagate 10.0.1.1 10.0.2.1 10.0.3.1 all /25 to BGP for advertised routingget router info bgp summary VRF 0 BGP router identifier 172.16.0.10, local AS number 65500 BGP table version is 6 8 BGP AS-PATH entries 0 BGP community entries Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd 172.16.0.9 4 65535 473 449 5 0 0 03:14:03 130 Total number of neighbors 1 corenet0-a #  get router info bgp summary VRF 0 BGP router identifier 172.16.0.10, local AS number 65500 BGP table version is 6 8 BGP AS-PATH e

Currently we have a Cisco Firewall that has multiple NAT rules for Citrix applications. Now we are adding a Fortigate FW in front of the Cisco Firewall and it blocks Citrix applications. Do I need to create the same NAT rules on the Fortigate FW or could I create a range to allow all the NAT rules through the Fortigate. What would you suggest? 

Hello everyone!I am having this problem with my FGT 80F release 7.6.2F build 3462, using a Fortinet SFP model FN-TRAN-SX.Below is my environment:- The device connected on the WAN 2 interface only supports speed 100 full.- Whether connected via copper or fiber the WAN 2 interface is always set speed to 100 full.- The device connected on the WAN 2 has only one fiber NIC. The connection to WAN2 copper interface is made through media converter.Fault description In the current release, the device connected on WAN2 is only seen if it is connected in copper, while the WAN2 interface in fiber remains switched off even if we disconnect the copper cable in the branch, following output when only fiber cable is connection on WAN2 interface FGT-80F-1 # diagnose hardware shared-port wan2Get nic name: wan2 medium type 2, Copper even in the case of both cables disconnected on WAN2 the output of the following command does not change, as per your documentation (ART ID 33393

Hello! Trying to sort this out a common(?) scenario with a DNAT in an SD-WAN configuration. DNAT is configured in WAN1, inbound rule has SD-WAN zone as incoming interface, inbound traffic to the DNAT works (webpage service loads normally).  SD-WAN rules for catch-all traffic (Internet bound) is set to manual, with WAN2 as preferred interface, followed by WAN1 as backup.  When traffic is originated from the target server in the DNAT, it gets NAT'd to the proper interface (WAN1), however the traffic is being steered through WAN2 due to the SD-WAN ruleOnly way that's working if an SD-WAN rule is above the catch-all with WAN1 as outgoing interface for this server only.  Is this the expected behavior? Any other options to get this working without the extra SD-WAN rule? PBR (WAN1 in WAN1 out, WAN2 in WAN2 out)? Auxiliary sessions and Asym traffic have been checked.   Running 7.2.11 on a 100F in this scenario.  TIA!

Hello FNAC admins,Does the L2 and L3 polling in FortiNAC depend on the network type selected (Layer 2 or Layer 3)? For example, if I choose Layer 2 as the network type, will only L2 polling be used?BR,  

Hi Community,I recently upgraded my FortiSIEM deployment from version 7.4.0 to 7.4.2. In 7.4.0, I was using Automated HA (HA V2) with a Virtual IP (VIP) setup, which allowed customers to access the system via a common IP address. This made centralized access and management straightforward.However, after upgrading to 7.4.2, I noticed that VIP is no longer available as part of the HA configuration. I understand that HA V3, introduced in 7.4.1, improves upon HA V2 and eliminates the need for VIP or DNS configuration.My questions are:How can I now provide a centralized access point for customers without VIP?What is the recommended approach to make this understandable and seamless for customers, especially those used to accessing the system via a single IP?Is there any best practice or workaround to simulate the previous VIP behavior in HA V3?Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated!@Secusaurus @Anthony_E can you please help here.Regards,Arif

Hello, I work for a company with 3 office sites. There are about 30 peoples working on each site.We are planning to replace our actual firewall solution with 3 clusters of 2 Fortigate 70G or 90G and "Enterprise" licences. During my information research regarding the different models and licenses to be sure to make the right choice, I've found this article:Single FortiGuard license for FortiGate A-P HA cluster 7.4.6 The problem is the last Firegate generation (xxG) are not listed in the compatibility list. Do you know if it's planned to propose these kind of licence for the xxG series?I asked to the support but didn't received any response...Thanks.

Himy FG 60F v.7.0.14 is not sending any syslog at all to the configured server. This is a brand new unit which has inherited the configuration file of a 60D v.6.0.14 and was then updated following the suggested upgrade path. I already tried killing syslogd and restarting the firewall to no avail. sg-fw # config log syslogd setting sg-fw (setting) # showconfig log syslogd settingset status enableset server "172.17.100.16"set interface-select-method specifyset interface "management"endsg-fw # get log syslogd setting status : enable server : 172.17.100.16 mode : udp port : 514facility : local7 source-ip : format : default priority : default max-log-rate : 0interface-select-method: specify interface : managementDestination is reachable:sg-fw # exec ping-options source 192.168.101.254sg-fw # exec ping 172.17.100.16PING 172.17.100.16 (172.17.100.16): 56 data bytes64 bytes from 172.17.100.16: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=3.0 ms64 bytes from 172.17.100.16: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.7 ms64 bytes

Hello NAC admins,My question is, which scenario is recommended, FortiNAC acting as DHCP server for isolated devices or Fortigate acting as a DHCP server ?BR,

Hello NAC admins,I would like to know which network type is recommended in FortiNAC configuration, Layer 2 or Layer 3 ? What's really difference between the two ?Thanks in advanceBR,

I have installed FortiClient VPN on two Win 11 machine, one on a domain the other one as a separate workstation. First, I don't know why but you need to add the FortiClient to the firewall either manually or through some gpedit modifications, crazy extra process! Can't it just show a pop up like other apps to ask for network access?Anyway, the computer on the domain is still struggling to connect to the SSL VPN server. FortiClient has been added to the firewall on the machine. The configuration is 100% correct on FortiClient. And, if you are asking for the error message, there is not. After entering user and pass and pressing connect button, it immediately shows the disconnect button. Additionally, if you hit disconnect button, it turns to "disconnecting..." and just freezes there and you need to "X" FortiClient.   What I expect or what I usually see on FortiClient on other machines is to show a percentage on the top and ask for MFA.I used the same login creds

I have a Fortigate firewall. The management IP block is 172.16.1.1/24.Fortianalyzer(172.16.1.10) is in this range.. I have an SMTP server, and only the IP address 192.168.1.100 is allowed to access it. I can access the SMTP server by NAT my 172.16.1.10 server. However, I cannot access the SMTP server using the Fortigate management interface (172.16.1.1). NAT is not working.

Hello,i need to move my on premise Fortianalyzer to Azure.How can i move my license actually associated to the on premise faz to the new one on azure?Is it feasible?I would like to do the following: create the new faz on azureimport the old faz configuraziontransfer the on prem license to the new azure Fazchange the ip on all the fortigates to the new Fazbe able for a short period to access the on prem faz to see the old log (i.e. for two weeks), i these case i need a trial license or because it's receiving no logs i'll be able to access the machine with no license?haven't found documentation about transferring the licence, so i think i just need to go on my forticloud and change the serial number of the old on prem faz with the new one, is it correct?And at which stage of the deployment should i select the BYOL ? Thank youRegards
