You can create VLANs in DMZ, why do you want to use vlan there?

 

Is it real dmz, what subnet do you have?

Yep, cause this dmz will contain load balancer(with a certificate ssl site) in a vlan and appli, database server for the other vlan.

any internet users can access this appli server via load balancer (with a certificate ssl) through firewall dmz.

to answers your question, i'll say to subnet x.x.252.0/25 and x.x.252.128/25 for 2vlans in the fortigate; and x.x.100.1 as wan (internet)address.

thx

ok, if you just want to put them in vlan you can create in: Network - interfaces - Create NEW: interface

Sorry i don't follow you, whts is the step?

1- create new interface dmz

2 create 2 vlans using one physical interface in dmz

3- create vip and mapping ??

1-2) If you want vlans you create them on the physical interface you want.

- The external interface is the physical interface that you chose. 

- Then you have 2 sub interface inside of your physical interface.

3) yes, if this is the way you want do do it.

- What is your network setup after the physical interface? Do you terminate direct to a VM server/switch?

my archi is that:

1- internet connected to firewall with  https 443 port

2- firewall have 2 Dmz (1dmz manage packets from govt , and the other dmz i want to create is for web server(vlan_100) and applicatif server)

3-the firewall is connected to a cisco distribution switch in which there are some vlans too.

4- after the switcch is connected to a cisco router.

Ok, if i understand you correct

1) setup your vlans in your dmz interface and tag it from the switch to the server/router.

2) Setup policyes and vip it to your vlan.
