Hello,

i have been asked for a Layer2 Site to Site VPN (I would not like to discuss an alternative - at this moment - because this is the technial requirement of the customer..).

I have done some research here in the discussions and found several statements that this is not possible at the moment with Fortigate units.

My question is: Is this statement still correct or is there a possibility in the newest firmware to do this? I am wondering about the L2TP over IPSec Support (i.e. for Android Dialin VPN). Is there a way to use this between two Fortigate units or do I miss something?

Thanks, Sebastian

hi,

there's been a post recently about L2TP server functionality in FortiOS: https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=139960

It is possible but the L2TP client feature is only available on the desktop models (< 100D).

I haven't tried it but with one FGT as L2TP server and the other as L2TP client it should meet your requirements.

Hello, thanks for pointing the direction...!! Is there anybody here in the forum who has tested such a setup? If not I plan to do this (FG100D & 60D available), but I am a bit out of time actually ;-) Thanks, Sebastian
