Network scenario with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer

[AlPe]

Hi all,

 here attached the component on my network, I have a question in regards the network layout, where do you suggest to install the FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer,

1. both INSIDE within the other hosts 

2. FortiAnalyer in DMZ and FortiManager INSIDE?

3. is it better to implement a separate network for both appliance?

or others location...

Best Regards

AlPe

Hello,

I would recommend to connect both devices to a management network (you can use management interface on Fortigates)

If you decide to put the FAZ between the inside hosts, use encryption.

Make sure you have enough bandwidth for log traffic (I don't know how big your environment is)

Kind regards,
