Question

FortiGateVM Port Configuration in VMWare

Hi All,

 

I am trying to setup a virtual test environment in GNS3 and have ran into a problem.

 

Getting the FortiVm up and running works fine, the Problem is with the ports. I assign port1 to vmnet2 and port2 to vmnet3.

When I ping the IP on Port1 I get an answer; however, when I ping the IP on Port2 there is no response. Since I am having the problem with the VMWorkstation, I haven't setup the GNS3 environment yet.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jasper

Jasper,

 

What type of network do you use for port2? And do you see any traffic when you sniff the interface?

 

try this command

diagnose sniffer pack port2

Matthijs,

 

i meant port4; however, the problem is strange because I can ping Port1 without any problems. Port4 is assigned to a different network as port1

  Status Name Members IP/Netmask Type Access Ref. Physical (10)  port1 192.168.143.7 255.255.255.248PhysicalPINGHTTPSSSHHTTP5  port2 192.168.241.2 255.255.255.0PhysicalPINGHTTPSSSHHTTP2  port3 192.168.200.2 255.255.255.0PhysicalPING1  port4 192.168.142.9 255.255.255.248PhysicalPINGHTTPSSSHHTTP3  port5 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0  port6 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0  port7 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0  port8 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0  port9 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0  port10 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Physical 0

 

 

when i execute the diagnostic command this is what i see

FGT-Test1 # diag sniffer packet port2 'icmp'
interfaces=[port2]
filters=[icmp]

 

The same command on port 1 reveals:

FGT-Test1 # diag sniffer packet port1 'icmp'
interfaces=[port1]
filters=[icmp]

You ment port4 but your sniffer is running on port2?

Also this issue seems to be related to your VMware installation and not to the FortiNet firewall...
