| Description |
This article describes how FortiTester can generate various kinds of traffic for testing purposes on other devices and how the FortiTester is set up for testing proxy traffic. When testing on a proxy environment, the setup is a bit different. |
| Scope | FortiTester with proxy sessions. |
| Solution |
The below example refers to a lab-based FortiTester using Forti Proxy in the KVM environment.
Step 1: Setup the FortiProxy LAN interfaces with IPs from 2 different VLANs as below:
Step 2: Access the FortiTester using the management IPs. Step 3: Select the Performance Icon on the FortiTester. Step 4: Go to HTTP -> CPS -> Create New. Setup as the screenshot below and press 'OK'.
Step 5: Set up the next window as follows:
The server and client should be connected to the 2 different VLAN subnets:

Step 7: Configure the proxy policy as below:
Note : Make sure to enable a UTM feature with at least certificate inspection to view the proxy session count in GUI or CLI: Technical Tip : Proxy Sessions widgets reported 0 sessions
Step 8: After setting up the above, save what has been entered and press 'Start' to run the test on the FortiTester. |
