hi, today I set up email alerts for various events (so, event based and
not severity level based), and I am missing a setting for hardware
failure events, you know, fans, PSU, temperature. A look into the CLI
didn't help.Am I thinking too hard, and t...
Hello fellows, for simplicity, I often use my private SSH key to log in
into my local admin account on various FGTs (I mean, CLI access via
SSH). Now, if instead of a local admin account I use a wildcard admin

hello all, I've got a pair of FG-200B running v4.3.18 in A-P HA mode.
Each cluster member is at a different location, HA links are across a
dedicated line. On each site, there is one Cisco access router (19xx) in

VLAN ports on a FGT are trunk ports, i.e. tagged. If you need an access
port to connect a non-tagging host (that's what I assume) the easiest

technical support via web ticket. IMHO everything you need to keep the
firewall alive. Warranty is not limited to ...
