Can I have two separated network working on a Fortigate 60E?

roudy · ‎11-12-2020

Hi, I am deciding to buy a Fortigate 60E or a 80F for my network.

My ISP has 2 separated network(from the same fibre) like most dedicated internet.

The dedicated one is 1 gbps, the dhcp one is like 300 mbps.

I think the best solution for it would be buying two separated firewall for each room but I kind of want to know that if I could simply plug both cable from the modem into the same firewall and have them running as two separated network.

Does it require a Vlan setup to separate them?

How does the failover gonna works in above case?

Thank you very much.

Yes, this is possible, you doesn't need 2 boxes. You can do it with two wan interfaces and appropriate routing and policies, or from my opinion the "better" solution is to deal with SD-WAN. https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/cookbook/990932/redundant-internet-with-sd-wan https://docs.fortinet.com/sdwan https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/cookbook/218559/creating-the-sd-wan-interface Best
