FortiWiFi
Solution
FortiWiFi 80CM interface:
Initial Configuration Steps:
1. Connect your PC's network card to LAN port 1 of the FW80CM internal interface.
2. Set your PCs IP address to 192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. Open up your web browser and head over to https://192.168.1.99
4. The default login for this switch is the username 'admin' with a blank password.
VLAN Configuration Steps:
It's now time to begin the configuration of the VLANs. Please note that I've written this guide with this particular configuration in mind :
- WAN1 of the FW80CM will be connected to the BTU
- DMZ of the FW80CM will be connected to the IPTV STB
- LAN port 1~6 of the FW80CM will be connected to your PC & network device
- WiFi of the FW80CM for Laptop with WiFi capable
Note: This guide is written based on FortiOS v4.3 (Steps should be more or less then same for any other MR)
To get your VLAN configuration running, simply follow these settings :
Create a VLAN500 for PPPoE:
1) Go to “System” > “Network” > “Interface”
2) Click "Create New"
3) Follow the settings in the screenshot, and configure your UniFi username & password accordingly:
Create a VLAN600 for IPTV (ignore this step if you not plan to use IPTV):
1) Go to “System” > “Network” > “Interface”
2) Click "Create New"
3) Follow the settings in the screenshot
Configure firewall policy for internal/WiFi to PPPoE interface:
1) Purge all the default firewall policies, it’s not applicable in this case
2) Internal to PPPoE:
3) WiFi to PPPoE:
Configure bridge connection for IPTV (Ignore this steps if you not plan to use IPTV):
1) Enable VDOM (Virtual Domain) via System Status
2) Go to System > VDOM > VDOM, create a new VDOM “iptv”
- make sure Operation Mode is “Transparent”, configure dummy IP for Management IP & Default Gateway
3) Go to “System” > “Network” > “Interface”, change VDOM for “wan.iptv” &” dmz” port
4) Switch current VDOM to “iptv”:
5) Create inbound & outbound firewall policy for “wan.iptv” & “dmz”
6) Switch the VDOM to Global, go to “System” > “Dashboard” > “Status”, you will see a java base CLI console:
7) Type the command given below to enable bypass multicast policy:
config vdom
edit iptv
config system settings
set multicast-skip-policy enable
end
Note: Don’t forget to secure your WiFi, default ESSID is “Fortinet” without encryption
