Hi Everyone.  today we was encountered the Fortigate Dynamic DNS issue in firmware 7.4.11 and 7.4.12. Restart the firewall few time still unable to access even ping google.com also unable to resolve but when PING 8.8.8.8 from Fortigate is reachable.  In the Network → DNS → DNS server show Primary DNS and Secondary DNS server is unreachable.  Even the host name unable to resolve  

I'm trying to setup a POC to demo ZTP.....Using the Fortigate Cloud service, I was able to provision a Fortigate to it's proper On-Prem FMG. However I was unable to get the gate provisioned to the proper CLOUD FMG. (Even though it says it's supported). I then tried using FortiZTP service and was able to provision to the CLOUG FMG successfully.   Has anyone else run into this ? Should we be using the FortiZTP since it's still in beta ?   Tom

If both policies are enabled Will this lead to an increase in the resource usage of the Fortigate firewall? Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I am looking for some assistance regarding using AD groups in EMS policies. My scenario is as follows: I have created a security group for people allowed to use dropbox and configured the web filter and application filter appropriately. I have also created a security group to be allowed to use certain AI applications only and configured the filters appropriately. Based on what I have read is where I am hitting an issue: “Priority-Based Evaluation: EMS typically allows administrators to assign priority levels to different policies. If a user belongs to multiple groups (e.g., both "Standard Staff" and "Remote Workers"), EMS applies the configuration set by the policy with the highest priority.”If reading this correctly, if I am a member of both security groups, I will use the first policy I match with highest priority. So if I put the “allow dropbox” rule first that also blocks the AI Apps, I will not hit the “allow AI apps profile” that follows. Is there a way to control this

Hello,I have been trying to get into the FortiEDR Workflow, but I can’t seem to create or manage the Collector Groups in the FortiEDR Cloud with a FortiEndpoint license. I know that FortiEndpoint EDR is different from the normal FortiEDR, but I have not found a document which said you can’t manage Collector Groups with FortiEndpoint EDR. Even the Administrator Guide for FortiEndpoint does not mention that you can’t configure Collector Groups.

On FortiAnalyzer, the devices added under Device Manager show "Last Log Time: N/A". However, when checking the dashboard, logs appear to be arriving normally. At the same time, the Log Viewer cannot be opened, and the Reporting section is also inaccessible.The currently used version is 7.4.2, and it seems that there are known issues related to this behavior in this release. Could you please confirm whether this is a known bug and advise on any available workaround or recommended upgrade path?  

Hello,  My Firmware is 7.4.11 I managed to get SSO authentication working correctly via EntraID. The last thing I wanted to do was connect it to the FQDN and run it via my own SSL certificate. I have the certificate imported and it works correctly on the Fortigate login page. I can't get this certificate to work on the authentication port.

Hi all, I am installing FortiNAC in a large environment and I added the Aruba WLC to FortiNAC without any issues. 3 days later, FortiNAC performed L2 pooling and discovered over 400,000 rogue hosts. After that, I disabled L2 pooling for the WLC, which stopped it from discovering.I use FortiNAC version 7.6.6 and have increased the VM to 16 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM.After that, I set the aging period to 1 day for the rogue hosts, but it did not work. I found this command, but it returned an error;> execute enter-shell# client -rog -op delete errorDuring this time, the FortiNAC RAM usage was at 92%, and the server was extremely slow.I could not find a way to get rid of these rogue hosts. While I was working, it did not affect the appliance, but when I configured PA for endpoint compliance checks, it did. While testing, I saw that many hosts were at risk, so I tried to mark them all as safe, but FortiNAC got stuck, so we had to restart the appliance.After that, I listed all the risky hosts

In an HA setup using FortiGate 200F, if the primary firewall is connected from the LAN port to the server, should the secondary firewall also be connected the same way?

Hello,While configuring Administrator Profile Mappings on FortiNAC, I accidentally associated all administrator profiles, including local administrator accounts, with a limited “Device Manager” type profile group. Since this change, I no longer have Full Admin privileges.I only created a profile mapping, is there a way to delete this Administrator Profile Mapping from the CLI?I found the following CLI command that allows restoring a previous configuration backup:execute restore config local <backup_name>If I restore a backup taken before this misconfiguration, will it restore the previous administrator mappings and resolve the issue? best regards.

We use captive portal for contractor and they should enter the entra id to connect to the network.We have some entra id group, example contractor_IT and contractor_SALES and each group have their own vlan.When the contractor authenticated successfully then the contractor still sit in isolation vlan and not changed to the respective vlan. My fnac vendor say when user authenticated thru entra id captive portal then fnac cannot bring entra group ID, is that true

I have guest ssid on the cisco wlc9800 and if there are user want connect to this ssid then the user will authenticate by captive portal with entra id.After the authentication successfull the client should be move from isolation network to guest network, in my case the client was moved to guest network if i see from fortinac policy but the client itself still connect to isolation network.Already ask to cisco support then they said the cisco not receive the coa to change the vlan. Anyone know here how to change thje vlan to teh cisco wlc9800?

Hi ,I would like to ask for some clarification regarding Flow-Based Antivirus behavior and architecture on FortiGate.I reviewed the Administration Guide and several technical documents, but I could not find detailed explanations for some internal Flow AV processing behaviors.I would highly appreciate it if you could clarify the following points or provide any related technical documentation, KB articles, technical tips, or architecture references.In Flow-Based Antivirus mode, is there still a file size limit / oversize handling mechanism similar to Proxy-Based AV, or is the oversize behavior only applicable to Proxy mode? In Flow mode, when scanning large files, does FortiGate bypass scanning after reaching a specific internal threshold, or can it continue scanning regardless of file size? Does Flow-Based Antivirus use the same Antivirus databases (Normal / Extended / Extreme) as Proxy-Based AV, or does Flow mode use a different AV engine/database architecture? If Flow mode does not fu
