Fortigate Transparent mode

[DanieleS99]

Hi, does anyone know any video or resource that explains in detail how to configure the fortigate in transparent mode and with the vlan configured in the correct way? I am looking for an example configuration. Thanks

Hey Daniele,

here is a short overview about enabling transparent mode and some basic configuration:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.3/administration-guide/617430/system

There are older, more thorough guides for transparent mode available that still largely apply (the GUI layout and CLI syntax might have changed a bit, but it still works the same way):
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/handbook/758622/transparent-mode
- this entire section

Hi Debbie, thanks for the answer.

I've seen those resources before, thanks for the help anyway. In any case, I understand that there are not many example videos on a real configuration scenario.

Thanks for the help

Hey Daniele - there are a number of third-party videos on YouTube regarding transparent mode. There is also a short, but old video (for firmware 5.4) in the Fortinet YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk46UIfpvB4
But nothing more up to date that I can find, my apologies.
