Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you for some info. I would like to connect a customer's connectivity to our fortigate 100F, using the DHCP feature and using the same subnet he provided us. How could I connect it all? Thanks in advance to anyone who will give advice

Hello,

 

Do you have a diagram on how this topology should look?

 

Are we talking external connectivity here i.e over a WAN using public IP ranges or is this internally via a VPN Site-to-Site link to customers?

the supplier brings us a connectivity and a router.

The vendor only gave us the subnet and dns.
This subnet is locked down and only reaches certain addresses.
I wanted to hook this connectivity to our firewall to be able to route the traffic by differentiating the routes but using the client's declared subnet.

Hi,

 

Not sure I fully understand - but it seems like you need to do this:

 

Define a port on the FortiGate i.e port1 and connect this to the customer provider router.

 

On the interface settings for port1, give the FortiGate an IP within that provided range.

 

Lets say your customer provided you with 192.168.10.0/24 - give the firewall 192.168.10.1 lets say.

 

After configuring the port, you should be able to route to your customers network. 

 

If I have misunderstood, please can you show a diagram
