Solved

So i'm completely new to Fortinet and have a new 60F and S124EP switch for my lab. The 60F is connected to Forticloud and the S124EP is connected to the 60F using FortiLink. I'm looking at building out a few VLAN's and having a hard time understanding the best place for the gateway to live for these. Should everything be built on the Fortiswitch and have that do DHCP and everything or should all the VLAN interfaces be built on the 60F? Suggestions? Advantages one way or another?

Hi, Fortinet guys, I am fully new to Fortinet products. Recently, my company purchased a pair of Fortigate 400E to set up HA structure. May I know if the Fortigate 400E:1. Active-active mode is good deployment for Fortigate 400E ?1. Supports "FGCP HA with 802.3ad aggregated interfaces" ?2. Which 2 interfaces are used/good to be deployed Heartbeat interfaces ? Many thanks in advance. 

Greetings.  Here is my situation, and I would like some suggestions. We have 2 branch offices.  Branch office 1 has a FortiGate 100F, and 2 internet connections, different ISP's (WAN1 and WAN2 respectively). Branch office 2 also has a FortiGate 100F, but only ONE internet connection (WAN1). I would like to accomplish the following: 1. Branch 1 failover internet connection - when WAN1 goes down, traffic is pushed over to WAN2. When WAN1 is restored, traffic jumps back over to WAN1.  Essentially make WAN2 a backup connection...only activated if WAN1 fails. 2. Site-to-site VPN connection between the 2 sites, but with redundancy.   So, if 1 of the 2 internet connections goes down at branch office 1, the site-to-site VPN will not be disrupted. What is the best way to accomplish this?  SD-WAN..priorities....CLI magic? I'd appreciate some assistance! Thank you for your time!  

Does anyone know that FortiOS 6.0.10 supports FAP-231E? When will this version 6.0.10 be released?Thanks！

Trying to learn more about the FortiSwitch. I see that when using multiple FortiSwitch switches it is common to use ISL between the switches. Will this restrict connection speed between switches? In other words what bandwidth does this ISL support?

Is there any way to block fake "Client" field just like the one on the attachment? In the attachment, there is "Header from" field pointing to an appropriate (trusted) sender, but the "Client" field displays unwanted and potentially dangerous sender. If there a method to block such fake senders?

hi, a few weeks ago I started to receive attacks on all my servers nated by fortinet, I tried to block the attacking ip or networks but it does not work, the ip continue to attack and the fortinet does not work.  

Hi everyone, I have a problem on Fortigate 600D and Fortigate 60E systems, when i fill the Generate Certificate Signing Request form i cannot use it to get the RapidSSL certificate because of "country code invalid" error. Whether i use Country / Region field or no - i allways get that error code, on multiple CA websites. Country code should be HR which stands for Croatia. Can anyone assist please? Kind regards,Goran

Hello Everyone, We have FortiGate 140D with OS 5.6 . We are currently depending on WAN1 port to access the internet which is microwave link. I have a new 4G device, which i would like to connect to FortiGate WAN2 but use it only for windows update downloads. I tried to connect the 4G link to WAN2 port, then suddenly all internet is disconnected from the users !! How can I use WAN2 just only for update of software?? even if its down, i don't want this traffic to go to WAN1. Best Regards,Alzaiem

Howdy,Perhaps you can shed some light on the following.  We have two Fortigate 300Ds (v6.2.3) in an Active-Passive HA cluster.  Up to now, only the Primary unit has had the "outside" interface (let's call it WAN1) plugged in; we don't have a switch between the Fortigate and the ISP (ISP1) in order to have WAN1 plugged in on both Primary and Slave.Now, we have a second internet pipe (ISP2).  I know the typical deployment would have a switch between each Fortigate in the HA cluster and the ISP:[ul]Primary WAN1 = ISP1Primary WAN2 = ISP2Secondary WAN1 = ISP1Secondary WAN2 = ISP2[/ul]The above would be ideal, but I need to make things work without the upstream switches. Here are the requirements:If ISP1 is having issues, which is plugged into Primary WAN1, HA fails over to Secondary which has ISP2 plugged into WAN2. If I keep ISP1 plugged into Primary WAN1 (Secondary WAN1 has nothing plugged in), and plug ISP2 into Secondary WAN2, is it as easy as setting up link mo

Hi all, I hope this is the right forum for this question. I have a 60E on a VDSL WAN service. My question:- for overall performance is it better (however that's defined!) to let the CPE router manage the PPPOE session or let the Fortigate do it? My understanding is that managing PPPOE on the Fortigate disables hardware acceleration so I was thinking it may be better to let the CPE router handle the PPPOE session and just let the Fortigate route towards the CPE router? Is there any suggestions or guidance on his is best managed? Kind Regards,  Andy.  

Good Morning,   I am planning out an upgrade to our Fortigate Systems from the 60D to the 100F. We have grown some and with all the new requirements placed on the network I am noticing the 60Ds are taxed and at times can become unresponsive with100% CPU usage. We currently have 2 60Ds in HA (A-P) and I was wondering if I could just place the 100F's in the cluster and demote the 60D's after the sync? Trying to plan this with as little downtime and complications as possible. I figured since the 100F's are in the cluster the configs would just sync to them and then I could make on of them the Master and remove the 60Ds. Would this work?

Hello,If just find out that some Fortigate have End of Support Date (EOS) (https://support.fortinet.com/Information/ProductLifeCycle.aspx)But i can't find some of them like:-FortiGate-60D-Fortigate-100D-FortiGate-200D-FortiGate-240D Does it seems to be not yet announced for the Fortigate in "D" ? Regards,Nicolas

Hi All:I'm using 81E and did some https traffic, and saw re-signed ca from captured packets. And I wanna know which command can find the ssl inspection statistics. I got one, but I'm not sure what stand for "C" and "T". Is "C" for current? what's for "T"?:FGT81ETK19002696 # diag ips ssl sta ------------------ SSL configuration -------------------- Bypass:                    false Session resumption:        true -------------------- SSL statistics --------------------- SSL transactions: C/T/E/S   SSL v3:  0/0/0/0   TLS 1.0: 0/0/0/0   TLS 1.1: 0/0/0/0   TLS 1.2: 3312629/3335323/0/0

 Hello to you all, I have a problem with crashing application within the Fortigate 1500D. So far I can see it is the WAD application (Cache & Wan optimization deamon). The strange thing that some traffic seems to have problems with it crashing. The next strange thing is that the feature “WAN Link Load Balancing” isn’t activated. What can be the cause of this application to be crashing all the time. Firmware: V5.2.1Type Fortigate: 1500D Has somebody have a idea? date=2014-12-31 time=13:24:02 logid=0100032546 type=event subtype=system level=warning vd="root" logdesc="Application crash" action=crash msg="Pid: 28447, application: wad, Firmware: FortiGate-1500D v5.2.1,build0618b618,140915 (GA) (Release), Signal 11 received, Backtrace: [0x011ad238] [0x0120cab8] [0x0120cfc0] [0x012136fb] [0x0126ee7a] [0x0126f0a6] [0x0126e5ed] [0x012a1a78] [0x0043d35c] [0x0043a3e3] [0x2a95c40475] [0x0043a889]" date=2014-12-31 time=13:20:50 logid=0100032546 type=event subtype=system

We are installing a new HA pair of 501E's (v5.6) to replace some older FG's, and we're adding a FAZ 400E (v6.0) to the mix. No FAZ installed previously. I have one FAZ port on our mgmt VLAN and I can access it fine. I plan to use a separate FAZ port to receive the logging from the FG(s). Is there any way to cable the FAZ directly to the HA pair to receive logging? E.g., port10 on first 501E to FAZ port3 and port10 on second 501E to FAZ port4. I don't see any internal switching capability in the FAZ to put two ports together with a single IP address. I don't see any layer 2 protocol options between FAZ & FG either. I don't have any other bright ideas. Has anyone attempted this with success? If we use only one FAZ port then whatever switch module that port connects to is a single point of failure. All other devices of this significance in our network have redundant connections to different switch modules. We don't see the need for a 2nd FAZ as we will also be logging to the

We have a VPN IPsec setted by wizard to use by forticlient.It seems that split-tunnel is disabled. If I connect and then go to internet I navigate by company ISP (tested by whatismyip). The VPN works like a charm but we cannot make call by MS Teams. The chat works but non video/audio call. I found that there are some problem with Teams. I would know if I can exclude the Teams connection from the tunnel using ipv4-split-include/ipv4-split-exclude settings or if there is any workaround. [Update 20-03-02]Using a VPN Native windows without split tunnel Teams works, calls included. The problem is Forticlient. [Update 20-03-11]Using Forticlient on MAC it works, only windows does not work. [Update 20-03-12]Group calls works. P2P calls no. There's a bug in the recent version of FC. Use version 6.0.0.0067 to solve the issue. It works. Regards,Graziano. 

I'm trying to troubleshoot a routing or policy issue and I'm trying to capture traffic to help me.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to capture any traffic coming through my VPN.I have a IPSEC VPN connected and passing traffic to the internal network. My IP address while connected is 172.16.255.65.When I run "diag sniffer packet Outside-PSD-10G 'src host 172.16.255.65' 4 10" I get nothing.If I run the same query with the filter set to none, I get gobs of traffic.  If I change the interface to the VPN interface, it returns "That device is not up for RASVPNWIN".Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?Any insights are appreciated,Thank you,Bill

Its time to start my first significant round of Fortigate upgrades and am looking for tips and tricks from those that have done many. I'm using the following as a starting point; https://kb.fortinet.com/k...=FD35329&sliceId=1 Assumption - Firmware upgrades via the FG GUI can generally be relied upon to be hitless.  Environment - All firewalls are clusters and have serial consoles connected- Clusters use 'session-pickup enable' and 'session-pickup-connectionless enable' - I intend to use the FG GUI to perform the upgrades - All firewalls are connected to FortiManager 6.0.8. - First upgrades will be to get all 5.4 firewalls to 5.6 Procedure for first (Lab) cluster/ADOM 1. Take FMG backup via GUI 2. Upgrade ADOM to 5.6 in GUI 3. Check Device Manager 'Config Status' is Auto-update/Synchronised in FMG 4. Take FG backup 5. Connect to serial consoles 6. Perform first step in Upgrade Path 7. Login to FG GUI and check Firmware version and cluster status 8. Login to

Hello! I did an upgrade to 6.4 last Week on our Fortigate 100E. I mentioned that many features are missing now and policies have been changed. So I did have Policies that there is no deep SSL Inspection for Android Handys. After the Update there is no Option for the Devices available. WTF !?? Not sure if I should switch back to my old firmware. We have a lot of problems here now. What can I do? Best Regards Wolfgang

Good day everyone,I am trying to understand what this command is used for to no avail. I did it under the neighbor configs and nothing seemed to happen.

Hi All,  Looking for ways to export logs from a Forti200D (5.6.8) into .csv format / easily readable by excel. Currently, during import into excel (using 'space' as delimiter), some fields will run. Is there ways to generate the logs with " " / custom delimiter instead?  Thank you.   

I recently upgraded our test firewalls to 6.4.0 and now split tunneling doesn't work. The VPN connects fine but all portals push a default route instead of the routes I specify.  Creating new portals with the GUI or CLI have the same issue. 

Hey guys, i'd like to wipe all data from this fortigate 60d (firmware v6.0.9) and tried a lot already, but it's still showing licensing information in System->FortiGuard (especially FortiCare Support is set to Registered, followed by an email address..).I have access to the device via rj45 on port 1/login with default username and password. What did i do already:- execute factoryreset via cli- execute formatlogdisk- execute erase-disk usb-1 (but not boot disk,because the device probably wouldn't boot anymore?)- upgraded firmware from v6.0.6 to v6.0.9 - which is installed now) But now i ran out of ideas. Especially with 'execute factoryreset' i was hoping to delete everything from the device.. So i would really appreciate any help!   RegardsFrank
