Hello, We are trying to establish a VPN between a Fortigate 900D and a Juniper. It must be a DialUp VPN since the Juniper has PPPoE (not a static IP) and the version of JUNOS the device has don't support dynamicdns. The Juniper has the following configuration:security { ike { proposal ike-phase1-proposal { authentication-method pre-shared-keys; dh-group group2; authentication-algorithm sha1; encryption-algorithm 3des-cbc; lifetime-seconds 28800; } policy ike-phase1-policy { mode aggressive; proposals ike-phase1-proposal; pre-shared-key ascii-text "12345678"; } gateway gw-test { ike-policy ike-phase1-policy; address 189.1.1.1; local-identity hostname TEST; external-interface fe-0/0/0.0; } } ipsec { proposal ipsec-phase2-proposal { protocol esp; authentication-algorithm hmac-sha1-96; encryption-algorithm 3des-cbc; lifetime-seconds 3600; } policy ipsec-phase2-policy { perfect-forward-secrecy { keys group2; } proposals ipsec-phase2-proposal; } vp

Hello!I havn´t found any rough numbers for VM Sizing.For example, let´s say we have 150 Devices, logging about 15Gb logs/day with about 5000 logs/s. We are currently planning on getting a VM license and hardware for the build. But I am uncertain about the memory/CPU config.Looking at a current 400C with roughly 30 devices and about 5GB/day, the memory in use is not much. The cpu usage is higher when generating reports. So I am thinking about a 6 Core with HT, 16GB mem and ofc something like Intel 3510 drives in Raid 5.Anyone have any VM data to share?

I'm new to the Fortigate Family. So, please bear with me. I have a website (Doodle.com), that's blocked, but I don't know how to check why? I get the error message from FortiAnalyzer and it does say Policy ID # but I can't seem to find that number in my fortigate's firewall policies. Does anyone know how to figure out why it's being blocked? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to install Forticlient in a Windows 7 computer. The problem is that, during the installation, it fails once it reaches the "Starting services" phase. The installation software shows an error message that says: "Service Fortishield failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". After that, the installation just rollbacks. The computer only has one user account (Administrator), and I have tried running it explicitly as an administrator, but the situation doesn't change. Any solution? Best regards

Hello, Where can I find the downloads for the FortiGate VM?  I can find the page with all the different firmware versions, but I seem to be struggling to find the VM. Any help? Thanks,ponder

Hello, I currently use a QoS configuration on a Cisco device and I wish to move this function on a Fortigate firewall (Fortigate 200B v5.2.0). On the Cisco device, QoS is defined as following: - services class are defined:  GOLD (trafic to prioritize) / OTHER (trafic to "unprioritize") / SILVER (all other trafic) / (policy-map) - the network traffic is selected by ACL (access-list). - each ACL is associated to a service class (class-map) - dedicated ACL are apply on interfaces On the Fortigate firewalll, I would like to know how to define the same QoS policy with following requirements: - for a simple managing, I wouldn't like manage several QoS profile on the rules. - Is it possible to configure a global QoS policy in other place than rule filter configuration ? - on each rule, I would like to manage only a global QoS policy. - this feature seems not describe in the documentation, is it possible to do that ? May be in CLI configuration mode with dedicated commands ? Thank yo

We have WiFi networks with WPA2 Enterprise security successfully working in our environment. After recent firmware upgrade from v.5.2.3 to v.5.2.5 on all our FortiGate and FortiWifi boxes, old computers with Windows XP on them cannot connect to the wireless networks any longer. Although we do not have many Windows XP installations left - none of them cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise wireless networks. There was no such a problem before the upgrade. All our FortiAPs units (FAP 220B, 320C, 321C) have the latest (v5.2.4 build 0245) on them. Does anyone experience the same issue? Thank you for any thoughts and ideas.

Dear All,I am setting a test policy that required FSSO AD authentication.I have done the following successfully1) LDAP Server created successfully and test was success 2) Single Sign-On Created sucessfully with status connected. 3) FSSO using DC-Agent is installed successfully in my DCverified from CLI[FORTIGATE] # diag deb auth fsso server-status [FORTIGATE] # Server Name Connection Status Version ----------- ----------------- ------- FORTINET_AGENT1 connected FSSO 5.0.0241but when i do the following :[FORTIGATE] # diag deb auth fsso list ----FSSO logons---- Total number of logons listed: 0, filtered: 0 ----end of FSSO logons----it seems to me that the FSSO agent is not working successfullyi verified the data of the logon users in FSSO Agent i can retrieve a list of AD users that is logon in my environment.i double checked all the steps and configuration. everything is as per specified in official guide.what went wrong here ?any pointer ?

Hey guys, Brand new to Forti products and I have a short time line. I am looking for a good how to in order to setup S2S VPNs in fortimanager. I have only been able to find pieces can someone help?

I could be drawing a blank here: Is there an event handler or setting somewhere to alert when logs are not populating to the FAZ? - i.e. turning Red under Device Manager?

Hi everybody! Just a short question. A customer is asking us if it is possible to change the size of the mtu packets to 1500 in a gre tunnel. As far as I know, there's an overhead at the beginning of these packets depending the type of encryption used, so it wouldn't be possible to do this. Am I right? Thanks in advance.

Hi all! I'm currently using FortiGate 800C with firmware v5.2.1 in transparent mode and created one Ipsec VPN tunnel. Is it possible to automatically assign IP addresses to VPN clients with FortiClients? I've checked "set assign-ip-from", "set mode-cfg" and "set dhcp-ipsec", but all seem unavailable in policy-based VPNs. Thanks! 

Hi, I need to use FortiClient IPSEC VPN using the new version, however, I have only the old configuration - extension - vpl. The new configuration on FortiClient 5 is conf (it seems).  I was not able to find out any information in how to import this vpl extension to the new one, it seems that there is a tool - FortiClient Tools that allows to convert it, but when I try to get this tool on FTP, an USER and PASS is requested.  ftp://support.fortinet.com/FortiClient/Windows/v4.00/4.0MR3/MR3_Patch_5 FortiClientTools_4.3.5.0472.zip Does anyone know how to convert it or make it available from vpl to new one? or at least to provide me this file to do it? thank you. John.

Hi there is anybody actually using the central VPN console mode in fortimanager? I am trying to convert VPN Configurations and have all sorts of trouble, e.g. creating a phase 2 to an external (non managed) Hub that needs a src-subnet and dst-subnet. Seems to be impossible, however...?

Hi Guys Has anyone SAT the NSE4 exam so far, i am taking this exam next month, please share experience and tips for all the people like me. RegardsSandeep 

Dear All, few months ago I configured VLAN on my network and it worked corectly. After I have changed router to FTG 80C (5.2.5) the VLAN stopped working. I use HP switch which supports VLAN - I didn't change the configuration on it. I use on FTG advanced routing. Idea is:LAN - 192.168.1.0/24VLAN - 192.168.5.0/24 - access to Internet but no access to LAN Fortigate 192.168.1.99 <-> hp switch 192.168.1.106 (VLAN 192.168.5.2) <-> tp-link switch (WAN 192.168.5.3) I added on FTG VLAN interface 192.168.5.1 and policy VLAN -> WAN. When I am connected to tp-link I have no access to Internet - I can ping 192.168.5.2 but I can't ping 192.168.5.1 (VLAN interface on Fortigate). I think that I should add some Static Routes or Policy Routes? Thank You in advance,Bart. 

I'm somewhat new to Fortinet products so I seem to need some help that is not obvious to me in the documentation.  We've had FortiAnalyzer for about 6 months.  Logs from various Fortigate devices are forwarded here.  But the oldest logs I can find are only 38 days old.  I'd like to have at least 90 days of logs available.  The dashboard shows 8% Hard Disk Usage and has stayed at that level for quite a while so it certainly has space to spare.  How can I increase our Hard Drive Usage, that is, retain logs longer? File Management?  None of the File Management settings are set.  Would I achieve my goal by changing the File Management's "Automatically Delete" setting for "Device log files" to "older than 3 months"? 

i have FG 500 A  and i try to restore the conf file to 80C   from USB but it give me Copy config 1.conf from USB disk ... Get config file from USB disk OK. Invalid config file Command fail. Return code -39 can any one help thanks 

Is the FGT60D V 5.2.5 capable to scan antivirus in https? I don't see any hints in the Antivirus Profile which point this out. When i take Proxy mode i see only the standard protocols but no https for example. In other words how can I see if FGT 60D can ssl-deep scan?

When configuring an SSLVPN in tunnel mode why do we have to specify source IP information in the VPN > SSL > SETTINGS screen under Tunnel Mode Client Settings as well as in VPN > SSL > PORTALS in the Source IP Pools field when checking Enable Tunnel Mode?  If I don't get an answer I will lab it up and find out but I'm hoping to save some time. I suspect it has to do with Authentication/Portal Mapping but I would like some confirmation on that.   Does the settings config assign the IP ranges that WILL be used when a tunnel mode client connects and the Portal setting is used separately to define configuration sent to the Forticlient for remote policy definition? Are they purely redundant configuration fields? Does one setting just give you more granular control over assigned IPs to specific users/groups?  ie Does the IP pool in the portal config trump the IP Ranges value in the

Hi, I have some trouble with DHCP for the secondary IP on the internal Interface. So far as I could read it seems that the DHCP-Server only listen for request at the main IP but not on the secondary. My Device is the FG/60D with V5.2.5 Does the scope of DHCP only for the main ip of the Interface or is it a bug? Normaly DHCP makes a broadcast request so it goes regardless which IP is defined to the DHCP listener  (in this case the internal interface). The main ip here is 192.168.1.250 the secondary is 10.10.90.250 both with mask 255.255.255.0 The ping on both networks works as expected.The policy rule allow all services in both networks. When I configure the remote device with static Ip for the 10.10.90.x Networkit works but on DHCP it will never receives an IP. When I configure the DHCP with Network 192.168.1.x DHCP works. I have seen solutions who says to create a new interface which was on the subnetor VLAN but I belive that there must be give another way to solve

Hi,Is it possible to add radius server groups in FortiOS? I can only see primary and secondary radius servers under one name? Also I can bind multiple radius servers to user groups. With that will the users get authenticated from any of the linked radius servers? Thanks,Raj 

I am a relative newbie to Fortinet that has a small amount of Fortinet experience but now I need to learn more.  I am fairly conversant with Cisco stuff.Object - to eventually have two tunnels using certificates going to different networks.Plan:1. To set up a direct connection without anything, just wire to wire2. Demonstrate one ipsec tunnel using passwords/passphrase3. Demonstrate two tunnels using passwords/passphrase Tear down the above4. Demonstrate one tunnel using a certificate5. Demonstrate second tunnel using passwords/passphraseTear down password tunnel above6.Demonstrate a 2nd tunnel using a certificate Endstate possibilities: 2 tunnels using one each certificate/passwordand 2 tunnels using only certificates So what I'm playing with: laptop(192) -> Fortinet(.1) -> Fortinet(.2) -> laptop(172) Direct connection: laptop -> Fortinet -> Fortinet -> laptopfrom either laptop I can ping the local and remote Fortinet but not the remote laptop&nbs

Fortigate 90D (v5.2.5)I have two offices connected by a site-to-site IPSec VPN: 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24.If the VPN is down, any traffic sent to the other office gets routed to the Internet.However, when the VPN comes back up, any IP's I tried to access while the VPN was down still get routed to the Internet while other IP's in the same subnet get routed correctly.For example:My computer is 192.168.2.99, my local Fortigate is 192.168.2.1 and I'm trying to access 192.168.4.5 and 192.168.4.50 on the other side of the VPN.  I pinged 192.168.4.50 while the VPN was down.  The VPN is back up when I run the two tracert commands below, one right after the other.  One gets correctly routed through the VPN and the other through the Internet: C:\>tracert 192.168.4.5 Tracing route to 192.168.4.5 over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.2.1 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 44 ms 44 ms 49 ms 192.168.4.5 Trace complete.
