Description

 

This article describes how to set up an IPsec VPN between a FortiGate and a Cisco Meraki.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate.

 

Solution

 

Prerequisites:

  • FortiGate (with basic configuration).
  • Cisco Meraki (with basic configuration).
  • Internet connection on both ends.
  • 209.10.10.1 is FortiGate side WANIP and 209.10.10.2 is Meraki side WAN IP

 

Configuration on HO side (FortiGate):

 

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    edit "HO_GW"
           set interface "wan"
           set ike-version 2
           set peertype any
           set net-device disable
           set proposal aes256-sha256
           set dhgrp 2
           set remote-gw 209.10.10.2
           set psksecret "admin123"
           set keylife 1800
      next
end

 

config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
    edit "HO_Phase2"
        set phase1name "HO_GW"
        set pfs enable
        set dhgrp 2
        set keylife-type seconds
        set keylifeseconds 3600
        set proposal aes256-sha256
    next

end
