Hi
I am new to Fortinet's and currently looking to replace our current firewalls with Fortigates. I have drawn up a quick topology (attached) to picture what I may be trying to achieve but have some questions around it. We require 3 VDOMS, to segregate WIFI, Corporate, and although most DMZ networks will trunk into the Corporate VDOM, there is one that needs to be separate for business purposes.
For external IPs, we have a P2P to the ISP, but we also have a /27 public IP block used for natting services.
My questions are:
1. Is it a good idea to have a 4th internet VDOM which is the root VDOM, I cant think of another way because of the fact we have a P2P to the ISP, then a separate block for natting
2. For policies and natting, I am thinking of doing all natting on the Internet VDOM, as well as having the policy for incoming traffic from outside
3. Use only firewall policies on the other 3 VDOMs and leave natting on the internet VDOM
4. For inspection would you recommend doing inspection of all 4 VDOMs
As I said, this is my first experience with Fortigates so there may be other ways I have not thought of and hoping someone can advise.
Many Thanks
