Web-based manager Introduction

The CLI or the web-based manager can then be used to complete configuration and to perform maintenance and administration.

Web-based manager

Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Internet Explorer, you can configure and manage the FortiGate unit. The web-based manager supports multiple languages. You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and HTTPS administration from any FortiGate interface.

You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings. You can also use the web-based manager to monitor the status of the FortiGate unit. Configuration changes made using the web-based manager are effective immediately without resetting the firewall or interrupting service. Once you are satisfied with a configuration, you can download and save it. The saved configuration can be restored at any time.

Figure 1: FortiGate web-based manager and setup wizard

Command line interface

You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a management computer serial port to the FortiGate RS-232 serial console connector. You can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.

The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the web-based manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration options that are not available from the web-based manager.

This Installation Guide contains information about basic and advanced CLI commands. For a more complete description about connecting to and using the FortiGate CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.

Setup wizard

The FortiGate setup wizard provides an easy way to configure the basic initial settings for the FortiGate unit. The wizard walks through the configuration of a new administrator password, FortiGate interfaces, DHCP server settings, internal servers (web, FTP, etc.), and basic antivirus settings.

Document conventions

This guide uses the following conventions to describe command syntax.

• Angle brackets < > to indicate variables.

For example:

execute restore config <filename_str>

You enter:

execute restore config myfile.bak

<xxx_str> indicates an ASCII string that does not contain new-lines or carriage

returns.

<xxx_integer> indicates an integer string that is a decimal (base 10) number.

<xxx_octet> indicates a hexadecimal string that uses the digits 0-9 and letters

A-F.

<xxx_ipv4> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address.

<xxx_v4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address followed by a dotted

decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address.

<xxx_v6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address followed by a dotted

decimal IPv6 netmask.

• Vertical bar and curly brackets {|} to separate alternative, mutually exclusive required keywords.

For example:

set opmode {nat | transparent}

You can enter set opmode nat or set opmode transparent.

• Square brackets [ ] to indicate that a keyword or variable is optional.

For example:

show system interface [<name_str>]

To show the settings for all interfaces, you can enter show system interface. To show the settings for the internal interface, you can enter show system interface internal.

• A space to separate options that can be entered in any combination and must be separated by spaces.

Getting started Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

Factory default FortiGate configuration settings

The FortiGate unit is shipped with a factory default configuration. The default configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager to configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the FortiGate unit onto the network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and configure basic routing, if required.

If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the FortiGate unit onto the network in Transparent mode.

Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and registering the FortiGate unit.

The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of antivirus protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network traffic that is controlled by firewall policies.

• Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

• Factory default Transparent mode network configuration

• Factory default firewall configuration

• Factory default protection profiles

Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

When the FortiGate unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and has the basic network configuration listed in Ta bl e 3. This configuration allows you to connect to the FortiGate unit web-based manager and establish the configuration required to connect the FortiGate unit to the network. In Ta b le 3 , HTTPS administrative access means you can connect to the web-based manager using HTTPS protocol through this interface. Ping administrative access means this interface responds to ping requests.

Factory default firewall configuration

FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit. Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the FortiGate unit. To allow traffic through the FortiGate unit you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for information about adding firewall policies.

The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall configuration to make it easier to add firewall policies.

The factory default firewall configuration is the same in NAT/Route and Transparent mode.

Factory default protection profiles

Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic that is controlled by firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:

• Configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

• Configure Web filtering for HTTP firewall policies

• Configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies

• Configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

• Enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services

• Enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

Page 22

Factory default protection profiles Getting started

Using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be applied to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types and levels of protection for different firewall policies.

For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need strict protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate protection. You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use the same or different protection profiles.

Protection profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode firewall policies.

The FortiGate unit comes preconfigured with four protection profiles.

Strict To apply maximum protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP traffic.

Scan To apply antivirus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content

Web To apply antivirus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP content

Unfiltered To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use if you do not want to apply

Getting started NAT/Route mode

Planning the FortiGate configuration

Before you configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into the network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the unit to be visible to the network, which firewall functions you want it to provide, and how you want it to control the traffic flowing between its interfaces.

Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode that you select. The FortiGate unit can be configured in one of two modes: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

NAT/Route mode

In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all its interfaces are on different subnets. The following interfaces are available in NAT/Route mode:

• External is the interface to the external network (usually the Internet).

• Internal is the interface to the internal network.

• DMZ is the interface to the DMZ network.

• HA is the interface used to connect to other FortiGate-800/800F units if you are installing an HA cluster

• Ports 1 to 4 can be connected to other networks.

You can add firewall policies to control whether communications through the FortiGate unit operate in NAT or Route mode. Firewall policies control the flow of traffic based on the source address, destination address, and service of each packet. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before it sends the packet to the destination network. In Route mode, there is no address translation.

You typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is operating as a gateway between private and public networks. In this configuration, you would create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network and the external, public network (usually the Internet).

If you have multiple internal networks, such as a DMZ network in addition to the internal, private network, you could create route mode firewall policies for traffic flowing between them.

NAT/Route mode with multiple external network connections Getting started

NAT/Route mode with multiple external network connections

In NAT/Route mode, you can configure the FortiGate unit with multiple redundant connections to the external network (usually the Internet). For example, you could create the following configuration:

• External is the default interface to the external network (usually the Internet).

• Port 1 is the redundant interface to the external network.

• Internal is the interface to the internal network.

• DMZ is the interface to the DMZ network.

You must configure routing to support redundant Internet connections. Routing can be used to automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to the external network fails.

Otherwise, security policy configuration is similar to a NAT/Route mode configuration with a single Internet connection. You would create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network and the external, public network (usually the Internet).

If you have multiple internal networks, such as a DMZ network in addition to the internal, private network, you could create route mode firewall policies for traffic flowing between them.

Figure 7: Example NAT/Route multiple internet connection configuration

Internet

Transparent mode

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make configuration changes. The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates.

You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS, web content filtering, and Spam filtering.

High availability installation

This chapter describes how to install two or more FortiGate units in an HA cluster. HA installation involves three basic steps:

• Configuring FortiGate units for HA operation

• Connecting the cluster to your networks

• Installing and configuring the cluster

For information about HA, see the FortiGate Administration Guide and the FortiOS High Availability technical note.

Priorities of heartbeat device and monitor priorities

The procedures in this chapter do not include steps for changing the priorities of heartbeat devices or for configuring monitor priorities settings. Both of these HA settings should be configured after the cluster is up and running.

Configuring FortiGate units for HA operation

A FortiGate HA cluster consists of two or more FortiGate units with the same HA configuration. This section describes how to configure each of the FortiGate units to be added to a cluster for HA operation. The procedures are the same for active-active and active-passive HA.

• High availability configuration settings

• Configuring FortiGate units for HA using the web-based manager

• Configuring FortiGate units for HA using the CLI

High availability configuration settings

Use the following table to select the HA configuration settings for the FortiGate units in the HA cluster.

FortiGate-800/800F Installation Guide 01-28006-0024-20041026 51

Unit priority

Override Master

Active-Active Load balancing and failover HA. Each FortiGate unit in the

HA cluster actively processes connections and monitors the status of the other FortiGate units in the cluster. The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster controls load balancing.

Active-Passive Failover HA. The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster

processes all connections. All other FortiGate units in the cluster are passively monitor the cluster status and remain synchronized with the primary FortiGate unit.

All members of the HA cluster must be set to the same HA mode.

The group ID range is from 0 to 63. All members of the HA cluster must have the same group ID.

When the FortiGate units in the cluster are switched to HA mode, all of the interfaces of all of the units in the cluster get the same virtual MAC address. This virtual MAC address is set according to the group ID.

Group ID MAC Address

0 00-09-0f-06-ff-00

1 00-09-0f-06-ff-01

2 00-09-0f-06-ff-02

3 00-09-0f-06-ff-03

…

63 00-09-0f-06-ff-3f

If you have more than one HA cluster on the same network, each cluster should have a different group ID. If two clusters on the same network have same group ID, the duplicate MAC addresses cause addressing conflicts on the network.

The unit with the highest priority becomes the primary unit in the cluster. The unit priority range is 0 to 255. The default unit priority is 128.

Set the unit priority to a higher value if you want the FortiGate unit to be the primary cluster unit. Set the unit priority to a lower value if you want the FortiGate unit to be a subordinate unit in the cluster. If all units have the same priority, the FortiGate unit with the highest serial number becomes the primary cluster unit.

You can configure a FortiGate unit to always become the primary unit in the cluster by giving it a high priority and by selecting Override master.

Least connection load balancing. If the FortiGate units are connected using switches, select Least connection to distribute traffic to the cluster unit with the fewest concurrent connections.

connected using switches, select round robin to distribute traffic to the next available cluster unit.

Weighted round robin load balancing. Similar to round robin, but weighted values are assigned to each of the units in a cluster based on their capacity and on how many connections they are currently processing. For example, the primary unit should have a lower weighted value because it handles scheduling and forwards traffic. Weighted round robin distributes traffic more evenly because units that are not processing traffic will be more likely to receive new connections than units that are very busy.

Connecting the cluster to your networks

Use the following procedure to connect a cluster operating in NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode. Connect the FortiGate units in the cluster to each other and to your network. You must connect all matching interfaces in the cluster to the same hub or switch. Then you must connect these interfaces to their networks using the same hub or switch.

Fortinet recommends using switches for all cluster connections for the best performance.

FortiGate-800/800F Installation Guide 01-28006-0024-20041026 55

Page 56

Configuring FortiGate units for HA using the CLI High availability installation

Inserting an HA cluster into your network temporarily interrupts communications on the network because new physical connections are being made to route traffic through the cluster. Also, starting the cluster interrupts network traffic until the individual FortiGate units in the cluster are functioning and the cluster completes negotiation. Cluster negotiation normally takes just a few seconds. During system startup and negotiation all network traffic is dropped.

To connect the cluster

1 Connect the cluster units:

• Connect the internal interfaces of each FortiGate unit to a switch or hub connected to your internal network.

• Connect the external interfaces of each FortiGate unit to a switch or hub connected to your external network.

• Optionally connect the DMZ interfaces of each FortiGate unit to a switch or hub connected to your DMZ network.

• Optionally connect ports 1 to 4 of each FortiGate unit to switches or hubs connected to other networks.

• Connect the HA interfaces of the FortiGate units to another switch or hub. By default the HA interfaces are used for HA heartbeat communication. These interfaces should be connected together for the HA cluster to function.

Page 58

Configuring FortiGate units for HA using the CLI High availability installation

The configurations of all of the FortiGate units in the cluster are synchronized so that the FortiGate units can function as a cluster. Because of this synchronization, you configure and manage the HA cluster instead of managing the individual FortiGate units in the cluster. You can configure and manage the cluster by connecting to the cluster web-based manager using any cluster interface configured for HTTPS administrative access. You can also configure and manage the cluster by connecting to the CLI using any cluster interface configured for SSH administrative access.

When you connect to the cluster, you are actually connecting to the primary cluster unit. The cluster automatically synchronizes all configuration changes to the subordinate units in the cluster as the changes are made.

The only configuration settings that are not synchronized are the HA configuration (except for the interface heartbeat device and monitoring configuration) and the FortiGate host name.

For more information about configuring a cluster, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.
