Hi, I am new to fortigate 110c. I am facing 1 problem to Configure IP Camera which is on another network (172.21.2.20, configured on port 2) and our administration dept want to view it from another network (172.21.1.120, configured on port 1). We are able to access it from same lan 172.21.2.-- series, but what we have to do to access or view it from 172.21.1.-- series. Give step by step detail to configure it.

    hi, and welcome to the forums. Basically, you have just to create one policy to allow traffic from port1 to port2. Routing is done automatically because the FGT knows about both networks. Go to Policy > Policy > Policy Create New source interface: port1 source addr: LAN_172_1 dest. interface: port2 dest. addr: LAN_172_2 schedule: always service: ALL action: ACCEPT NAT: do not check log: check Done. Place this policy above other policies which are less specific, ie. policy port1->wan1. Test. This will not apply any UTM features, like AV or IPS. You may want to add this later. This is fairly basic which tells me you' re new to Fortigates and/or firewalls in general. A good starting point for getting to know FortiOS is here http://docs.fortinet.com especially the FortiOS Handbook (the complete reference) and the Cookbook (a lot of practical recipes, step-by-step).
