Hey guys,

 

I know this is kind of weird to ask, but is it possible for my FortiGate device to be detected by FortiCloud/FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer if it is inside my LAN (with private IP at port WAN) instead of WAN (with public IP at port WAN)? And if it can, how do I activate it?

 

Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi,

     

    It is possible if the LAN IP is reachable to internet .You can configure the source-ip  as well.Also possible to configure Proxy setting for Fortiguard updates .

    Hello,

     

    So I read up the article, but I fail to understand it. My LAN IP do have access to the internet, but right now my FortiGate is just acting like a switch, because the internet only passes through the devices, not actually connecting it. Does that makes any senses? Or the Fortigate is supposed to work like that?

     

    Thank you.
