Adding a default route As we saw in previous post https://old.smenode.com/data-plane-interfaces/ now in firewall 1 we have one interface we are going use for management purposes on a management network, and we have 3, one goes up to service provider, one connects to internal network and one connects to DMZ. They are keeping use the […]

Data Plane Interfaces In this post we are going to configure data plan interface. Before we set up a default route, let’s getting use port4 as the egress or out band interface as send traffic to internet, we need to make sure we have ip address on Port4. So let’s see to our game plan […]

Fortigate Network Configuration In the previous lesson https://old.smenode.com/fortigate-initial-configuration/ we learnt about initial configuration of fortigate. In this post we are going to know how to configure the network interfaces and set the default route. So, the below picture is our topology and lab. Let’s config the rest of firewalls. LAB Overview In first step, we […]

In this first article, we are going to do a factory reset on the firewall and then begin the configuration. So here are our current firewall, let’s see the CLI (Command Line Interface) and the syntax we are going to use is: Execute factoryreset Because our firewall is a VM so I need to take […]
