FortiManager forward Logs to FortiAnalyzer

 Problem

How to forward FortiManager local Logs to an FortiAnalyzer in realtime?

Solution

Over GUI options it isn't possible to configure. This function is only available over CLI:
config system locallog fortianalyzer settings
    set status realtime
    set server 192.168.1.10
end
Afterwards you see an "unathorized device" in the FortiAnalyzer.

FortiGate as DNS Server or DNS Proxy

Image
 Problem Especially in small networks, sometimes you do not have a dedicated DNS server available. For this purpose, the FortiGate can be used as DNS server. For larger installations, all DNS queries should be proxied for security reasons. The FortiGate can also help here. Solution A detail documentation about the DNS Server functionality is in the offical documentation:  Fortinet Doc In this post I would like to clearly present the most important functions and configuration types of the DNS function. DNS-Server In the following example the FortiGate act as DNS Server: Enable DNS Feature Enable the DNS Feature in the GUI: CLI command: config system settings     set gui-dns-database enable end Configure DNS Server Enable the DNS Feature on the interface on which DNS requests should be answered: Select Network Select DNS Servers Select the listen Interface Select the DNS Server Mode (see delecration below) The same on the CLI: config system dns-server   ...

FortiGate and Windows L2TP / IPsec with Split Tunneling

 Problem In some scenarios, the user does not want to install an additional VPN client on their device, but use the already built-in one from Windows. Thus, the FortiGate SSL VPN solution cannot be used. So that only systems behind the FortiGate unit are accessible, a split tunnel connection must be established. Solution The L2TP over IPsec VPN solution is used for this purpose. First an IPsec connection is established between the client and FortiGate and then an L2TP connection is established. This is authenticated via a PSK and L2TP via username and password. The following steps are necessary to implement this solution. IPsec Connection config vpn ipsec phase1-interface edit "Dialup" set type dynamic set interface " wan " set peertype any set net-device disable set proposal aes256-md5 3des-sha1 aes192-sha1 set dhgrp 2 set wizard-type dialup-windows set psksecret **** next end config vpn ipsec pha...

FortiGate BGP dual-home with multiple ISP

Problem Design with two ISPs and an RIPE Routed public IP Ranges. How to solve, that the public Range is available over both ISPs but without asymetric Routing and ISP-1 is the primary. Solution FortiGate Basic BGP configuration First start with basic BGP configuration config router bgp set as 65301 set router-id 100.200.100.254 set keepalive-timer 45 set holdtime-timer 120 set bestpath-med-missing-as-worst enable set graceful-restart enable     config redistribution connected          set status enable     end end bestpath-med-missing-as-worst :  The route without MED is automaticly the worst destination. gracefule-restart :  Advertise reboots to neighbors so they don't see the router as offline, wait before declaring them offline, and how long to wait when they reboot before advertising updates. These commands apply to neighbors and are part of the BGP capabilities. This prevents unneeded rou...
