Performing a company split and need to move a fortigate off our network

[BsuarezQTStools]

I am a new systems admin for my company and am tasked with the project of splitting a sister company from our network. The sister company has a fortigate directed to our network and need to make adjustments to take it off our network and allow it to work independently/ for their own network. Is there a previous post on the subject or can someone point me in the right direction for the steps involved in taking that fortigate off our network? Thank you.

Easiest way to achieve that, is to find the cable/fiber that connects the remote device to your device and unplug it.

Second easiest way, find on the local router/firewall which is the interface that leads to the remote networks and disable/shut it down.

Hi @BsuarezQTStools ,

I guess what "taking that fortigate off our network" means for you is to deny the traffic from the FortiGate to access your network directly.

If so, you may apply or modify a policy or access rule on the edge router/firewall device in your network to deny the traffic from the sister company.

No problem. I’ll sell you a product called FortiCyberSecurity. Only $400,000. Includes all the functions of FortiEverything. We won’t be back to sell you another product though. But watch out for that $700,000/year annual renewal https://100001.onl/ .
