Question

Connecting a router to the Fortigate?

I have a Fortigate 60D and I would like add a Cisco 1921 router to it. This is all in a lab environment by the way.

 

What are the basic steps I need to take first?

 

Steps I've taken so far:

[ul]
  • Fortigate's ip address 10.0.0.1/24 network
  • Cisco router has gig0/0 ip address 10.0.0.253/24
  • Cisco router has gig0/1 ip address 192.168.1.254/24 
  • Cisco gig0/0 is connected to port 4 on Fortigate 60D via straight through CAT5e[/ul]

    I know I probably need to create a static route from the Fortigate to the 192.168.1.1/24 network on the cisco router . Should I be doing any kind of NAT rules on the Cisco router? My guess is NO because I'm using private IP addresses on either side of the router.

      config router static

         edit 666

             set dst 192.168.1.0/24

             set dev port4

             set gateway 10.0.0.253

      end

       

      You will probably have a collision if this is a factor fgt since 192.168.1.0/24 is alreadyt assigned to lan for example so adjust as required
