Hello,I have a fortigate unit with firmware v5.4.2,build110, and I have two wan interfaces with too many inside interfaces. I have a policies identical and duplicated and I want decrease this HUGE number of policies by creating a zone for the WAN interfaces and also a new zone for the inside interfaces if possible.as you know I can't bind interfaces to a new zone since the interfaces are used at policies :(Q1: what is the best way to do this, i'm thinking to do that a notepad by creating a zone and replace the interfaces with the new zones, is it a good idea? or do you have another way?Q2: can I create a policy between interfaces within the same zone?Q3: can we add interface like vlan interfaces within a trunaggregate and physical interface within the same zone? thanks

Hello, guys! I have FortiGate 200D v5.6.2 build1486 (GA). I created proxy-policy. I add FSSO group there, but this policy don't work.

Help me please.

hello, I have two fortigare 1000c units, and i’m in process to have teo internet links from the same isp and i want to apply BGP, and i have the following questions: 1- i will receive the default route from the isp through the two lines but i need to prefer the the WAN2 which is the second internet line from isp and in case the line is down use automatically to the first line, my question what bgp feature will be used? Or just use static route? 2- i will advertise my public subnet through the two lines but i will prefer some IPs within this subnet to prefer WAN1, what bgp feature to use to avhieve this? Or use policy based routing only? 3- currently i have enabled WAN load balancing, after applying the bgp and doing the points mentioned above, i think i should disable the WAN load balancing feature, right? 4- do i need to enable to activate some any SLAs mechanism in order to keep monitoring the WAN lines especially if we use static route? Or if we use receiving default route can solve

Hello, We are encoutring high CPU usage on many 60D Fortigates. The firmware version is 5.2.3.The process responsible of this high CPU charge is httpsd (screenshot attached).Killing the process will reduce the charge but after few days, the same issue will start again. Did anyone have the same issue ? Thank you for your help. Regards,Hatim 

Hi. We're developing a custom solution for a customer and we're trying to use the XML API to retrieve log data.We're new to the Fortinet products and currently trying to get the correct data through trial and error. We've managed to get one of the result sets with the searchFazLog request.Unfortunately, we're struggling to find documentation on the syntax that the <searchCriteria> must be written in so we can filter the results more. For instance how do we filter for values <searchCriteria>subtype=system AND date=2017-06-11</searchCriteria> correctly? Regards,

Hi guys, I know if I enable Radio Resource Provision under FortiAP profiles, the APs will scan the frequency range and select the channel with less interference between the other APs, this is well documented in Deploying Wireless Network Guide.But what happens if this feature is not enabled? I have several APs working with this feature disabled:  The APs have selected a channel, some on channel 1, some on channel 11... Do you know what the criteria or algorithm is for this channel selection? Regards,Julián 

Hi,  I'm having an issue with establishing an FTP connection through my Fortigate 600c running FortiOS 5.4. I have the Session Helper configured:set name ftpset protocol 6set port 21 And a policy configured:set name "Internet to FTP Server"set srcintf "External" set dstintf "local" set srcaddr "all" set dstaddr "VIP for FTP" set action accept set schedule "always" set service "FTP Services" (Also tried "ALL") "FTP Services" has all members for "FTP"edit "FTP Services" set member "FTP" "FTP_GET" "FTP_PUT" next But I cannot establish an FTP Connection.  I can connect to the server, but there is no data transfer (i.e. to get directory listing).  Here is a log from FileZilla Status: Disconnected from serverStatus: Connecting to <Correct Fortigate IP Address>:21...Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...Status: Logged inStatus: Retrieving directory listing...Command: PWDResponse: 257 "/<valid directory>" is current d

Hi Guys, One of our company office Wifi users are facing slowness and low performance of Wifi. We are using Fortigate 100D as a controller for FortiAP's(221C). No mesh topology. in total 4-5 AP's are there. there us no difference in any AP config or firmware.  As of now I ran hrping and other ping plotter tool to see packet drop. - in hrping I don't see any packet drop in hrping result to local gateway/firewall/ wifi controller.- in Hrping results for internet google dns I see few packets drops randomly and high ms around 50, 200, 300,  upto 500.- In Ping plotter  I see latency  of avg 40 ms to local gateway/ firewall/ controller.- In Ping plotter I see latency of avg 60ms to google dns.  what do you think about above results. Is it normal? - what are the other possible best quick way to find out  wifi performance issue or to find out any  rouge AP any pointer please thanks A

We use Forti Authenticator as a radius server for our wireless authentication. I did give the realm and in the query elements under Remote auth. servers -> LDAP as user authentication attributes. For some reason, the authenticator is also checking for machine authentication and getting failed. This machine authentication logs are being piled up increasing the memory usage to over 95% which is slowing down the authenticator performance.  We had to reboot the authenticator couple of times in 2 weeks span just because of the over memory utilization. Can someone help me figure the issue and not allow the authenticator to try checking for machine authentication?  

We are using a Fortigate 60D in our work place. The 60D is used as our UTM/core router and is using one WAN link to provide internet access. The company plans to add a second firm in the current location. The new firm will have a separate internet connection for its users. The plan is to setup 2 VLANS, one for the current business and the second for the new firm and create my policies according to business’s needs. My question is can(and how) I setup the fortigate to route internet traffic out separate WAN interfaces according to the VLANs being used? Thanks

I've been asked if any of the POE FortiSwitches are Plenum rated and I cant seem to find any documentation about this at all, even on the Rugged FortiSwitches.. Can anyone advise if any of them are please? 

Hi everyone, we would like to allow our employees to watch youtube videos and we work with the category based fortigate webfilter system (Fortigate 1000C). The category "bandwidth consuming" is generally blocked. Youtube.com belongs to this category, which is not a problem at all, because I am able to overwrite this category for single domains. So I allready made an overwrite entry for the domains youtube.com, youtube.de, youtu.be and put them into the category "entertainment", which is generally allowed. Accessing youtube.com is now possible for the users, but the videos do not start to play. I guess that the videos will be loaded from another url wihtin the "bandwidth consuming" category, but I cannot find any information about where exactly. When I allow this category for testing, then youtube works fine. But the CIO do not want to allow this category in general. Does anybody know anything about the youtube video urls or has any hint to find more information?Getting support fro

My fortigate is FG200D, version is v5.4.1,build1064 (GA) . I have two leased lines and two ADSL circuit, I've finished the  configuration of  the ports show in the below picture . And I've configured four static routes for each wan port and policies. When I want to add them into WAN LLB, I can't see them in the list show in the below picture Who can tell me what's wrong with my configuration so that I can't add them into WAN LLB.I hope configure a static monitor like SLA and track, how can I do? Thanks.    

Hi Everyone, I have searched the internet far and wide and have been unable to find some really useful datasets and I was wondering if a more skilled mind could assist me. I was searching for the following simple datasets - Weekly report of top users for youtube bandwidth usageweekly report for top users of facebook usage Thankyou   

Hello, I have the following dataset which shows top bandwidth users. I am converting source IP addresses to FSSO usernames for ease of interpretation. I want to strip out any lines with source address users that do not correlate to FSSO usernames i.e. those that show up as source IP addresses instead of usernames.How would I do that ?Thank you kindly for any help. select coalesce(nullifna(`user`), nullifna(`unauthuser`), ipstr(`srcip`)) as user_src, sum(coalesce(sentbyte, 0)+coalesce(rcvdbyte, 0)) as bandwidth, sum(coalesce(rcvdbyte, 0)) as traffic_in, sum(coalesce(sentbyte, 0)) as traffic_out, count(*) as sessions from $log where $filter and logid_to_int(logid) not in (4, 7, 14) group by user_src having sum(coalesce(sentbyte, 0)+coalesce(rcvdbyte, 0))>0 order by bandwidth desc screenshot attached.  

Hello Community! I'm hopeful someone can kick-start my brain around traffic shaping and how I might practically apply it to my use case. For starters, I've perused the standard documentation as well as the Limiting Bandwidth with Traffic Shaping cookbook article as suggested in other posts. I've also taken a dive into some of the community posts to see if there's a similar situation. For the life of me, I can't seem to wrap my brain around the correct shaper settings, even to simply prove the concept. To that end, I've attempted to prove the concept by creating a traffic shaper for the VLAN I'm currently on. I created a Traffic Shaper object that applies "high priority" and guarantees 2048Kbps with no maximum. I've turned on "per policy" in the CLI as suggested in the documentation, cookbook, and several community posts. Then, I created a Traffic Shaping Policy with the following settings:Source: My VLAN ObjectDestination: "All"Service: "All"Outgoing Interface: "Any"Shar

Hi guys I have x2 FSSO collector agents installed on 2 DCs (for redundancy) that monitor 5 DCs via DC Agent. This works well and LAN users show up on the Fortigate nicely. To get Wifi Devices/Users identified on the Fortigate and usernames associated to devices I have done the following 1. On my Unifi AP I have pointed Radius Accounting direct to the firewall with a new psk2. On the Fortigate I have setup an RSSO Agent in Single Sign-on. I have added the same psk to this3. I set rsso-endpoint-attribute User-Name on the Fortigate This works nicely as well. My question is how do I get groups working with this? For example I have multiple AD groups for web filtering. Examples are: proxy_allowall, proxy_allow media, proxy_standard etc - A user can only be a member of 1 group. I want to be able to use these groups to match against web filtering polices. How can I associate RSSO groups with NPS? I get I need to add the class attribute to NPS but how do I handle

Hi All,  Brand new here :) I need a hand to an issue I am having with my Fortimail appliance, where large volume emails (legitimate!) are being refused by Fortimail.Error: Deferred Queue              (host %FORTIMAIL%[%FORTIMAIL IP%] refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.0 Too many concurrent connections.)This is doing my head in, as I cannot find the option anywhere to increase throttling!Fortimail: 400EMy Session and SMTP limits are put to the maximum, but the issue still persist. I keep reading the cookbook, but I cannot find where to increase throttling overall, or for a particular SMTP address (That would be FireEye in our case). Any ideas or pointers? Many thanks,  Fred

Hi,   I have this fortigate 90E (Part number: P19061-03) having some unknown reason of rebooting itself at least once at random time throughout the day and causing some disruption to our network.   This fortigate is managing a users of around 80 users. The firmware is v5.4.4,build6019 (GA).     At Alert Message console it only states this: 2017-11-16 12:39:24 System start   It does not provide any clue nor reason of the reboot.     Please advice what should i do.
