Configuring NAT vs. Transparent mode

Configuring

This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit,

NAT/Route and Transparent, and how to configure the FortiGate unit for each

mode. There are two ways you can configure the FortiGate unit, using the

web-based manager or the command line interface (CLI). This section will step

through using both methods. Use whichever you are most comfortable with.

This section includes the following topics:

• NAT vs. Transparent mode

• Connecting to the FortiGate unit

• Verify the configuration

• Backing up the configuration

• Additional configuration

NAT vs. Transparent mode

NAT mode

The FortiGate unit can run in two different modes, depending on your network

infrastructure and requirements. You have a choice between NAT/Route mode

and Transparent mode. Both include the same robust network security features

such as antispam, antivirus, VPN and firewall policies.

In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all

its interfaces are on different subnets.

In NAT mode, each port is on a different subnet, enabling you to have a single IP

address available to the public Internet. The FortiGate unit performs network

address translation before it sends and receives the packet to the destination

network.

In Route mode, there is no address translation.

192.168.1.20

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.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit Configuring

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 to 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 filtering, and Spam filtering.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

To configure, maintain and administer the FortiGate unit, you need to connect to it. There are two methods for these tasks:

• using the web-based manger, a GUI interface using a current web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer.

• using the command line interface (CLI), a command line interface similar to DOS or UNIX commands using an SSH terminal or Telnet terminal.

Connecting to the web-based manager

To connect to the web-based manager, you require:

• a computer with an Ethernet connection

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of the most popular web browser

• an Ethernet cable.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide

16 01-30006-0446-20080910

Configuring Connecting to the FortiGate unit

To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiGate unit ships with a self-signed security certificate, which is offered to remote clients whenever they initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiGate unit. When you connect, the FortiGate unit displays two security warnings in a browser.

The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate unit’s self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login page appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the FortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is not displayed again.

Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs you that the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request. This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

4 Type admin in the Name field and select Login.

Connecting to the CLI

To connect to the FortiGate CLI you require:

• a computer with an available communications port

• a serial cable, either a RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable, whichever was included in your FortiGate package

• terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Microsoft Windows

Note: The following procedure uses Microsoft Windows HypterTerminal software. You can apply these steps to any terminal emulation program.

To connect to the CLI

1 Connect the serial cable to the communications port of your computer and to the

FortiGate console port.

2 Start HyperTerminal, enter a name for the connection and select OK. 3 Configure HyperTerminal to connect directly to the communications port on your

computer and select OK.

4 Select the following port settings and select OK:

Bits per second 9600 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None

5 Press Enter to connect to the FortiGate CLI. 6 When the login prompt appears, type admin and press Enter twice.

Type ? to list available commands. For information about how to use the CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference.

Configuring NAT mode Configuring

Configuring NAT mode

Configuring NAT mode involves defining interface addresses and default routes, and simple firewall policies. You can use the web-based manager or the CLI to configure the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode.

Using the web-based manager

After connecting to the web-based manager, you can use the following procedures to complete the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. Ensure you read the section “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 16 before beginning.

Configure the interfaces

When shipped, the FortiGate unit has a default address of 192.168.1.99 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. for either the Port 1 or Internal interface. You need to configure this and other ports for use on your network.

To configure interfaces 1 Go to System > Network > Interface. 2 Select the edit icon for an interface. 3 Set the Addressing Mode for the interface.

• For Manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.

• For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and complete the following:

Distance Enter the administrative distance, between 1 and 255 for the

4 Select OK. 5 Repeat this procedure for each interface as required.

Note: If you change the IP address of the interface you are connecting to, you must

connect through a web browser again using the new address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the interface. If the new IP address of the interface is on a different subnet, you may have to change the IP address of your computer to the same subnet.

Configure a DNS server

A DNS server is a service that converts symbolic node names to IP addresses. A domain name server (DNS server) implements the protocol. In simple terms, it acts as a phone book for the Internet. A DNS server matches domain names with the computer IP address. This enables you to use readable locations, such as fortinet.com when browsing the Internet.

DNS server IP addresses are typically provided by your internet service provider.

To configure DNS server settings 1 Go to System > Network > Options. 2 Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. 3 Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server. 4 Select Apply.

Adding a default route and gateway

A route provides the FortiGate unit with the information it needs to forward a

packet to a particular destination. A static route causes packets to be forwarded to

a destination other than the default gateway. You define static routes manually.

Static routes control traffic exiting the FortiGate unit-you can specify through

which interface the packet will leave and to which device the packet should be

routed.

In the factory default configuration, entry number 1 in the Static Route list is

associated with a destination address of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0, which means any/all

destinations. This route is called the "static default route". If no other routes are

present in the routing table and a packet needs to be forwarded beyond the

FortiGate unit, the factory configured static default route causes the FortiGate unit

to forward the packet to the default gateway.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide 01-30006-0446-20080910 19

Configuring NAT mode Configuring

For an initial configuration, you must edit the factory configured static default route to specify a different default gateway for the FortiGate unit. This will enable the flow of data through the FortiGate unit.

For details on adding additional static routes, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

To modify the default gateway 1 Go to Router > Static. 2 Select Edit for the default route 3 In the Gateway field, type the IP address of the next-hop router where outbound

traffic is directed. 4 If the FortiGate unit reaches the next-hop router through a different interface

(compared to the interface that is currently selected in the Device field), select the

name of the interface from the Device field.

5 Select OK.

Adding firewall policies

Firewall policies enable traffic to flow through the FortiGate interfaces. Firewall

policies define how the FortiGate unit processes the packets in a communication

session. You can configure the firewall policies to allow only specific traffic, users

and specific times when traffic is allowed.

For the initial installation, a single firewall policy that enables all traffic through will

enable you to verify your configuration is working. On lower-end units such a

default firewall policy is already in place. For the higher end FortiGate units, you

will need to add a firewall policy.

The following steps add two policies that allows all traffic through the FortiGate

unit, to enable you to continue testing the configuration on the network.

To add an outgoing traffic firewall policy 1 Go to Firewall > Policy. 2 Select Create New. 3 Set the following and select OK.

Using the CLI

After connecting to the CLI, you can use the following procedures to complete the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. Ensure you read the section “Connecting

to the CLI” on page 17 before beginning.

Configure the interfaces

To set an interface to use a static address

config system interface

edit <interface_name>

set mode static set ip <address_ip> <netmask>

end

To set an interface to use DHCP addressing

config system interface

edit external

set mode dhcp set distance <integer> set defaultgw {enable | disable} set dns-server-override {enable | disable}

end

end

The CLI lists the IP address, netmask, and other settings for each of the FortiGate

interfaces.

Note: If you change the IP address of the interface you are connecting to, you must

connect through a web browser again using the new address. Browse to https:// followed by

the new IP address of the interface. If the new IP address of the interface is on a different

subnet, you may have to change the IP address of your computer to the same subnet.

Configure a DNS server

A DNS server is a service that converts symbolic node names to IP addresses. A

domain name server (DNS server) implements the protocol. In simple terms, it

acts as a phone book for the Internet. A DNS server matches domain names with

the computer IP address. This enables you to use readable locations, such as

fortinet.com when browsing the Internet.

DNS server IP addresses are typically provided by your internet service provider.

To configure DNS server settings

config system dns

set autosvr {enable | disable} set primary <address_ip> set secondary <address_ip>

end

Note if you set the autosvr to enable, you do not have to configure the primary

or secondary DNS server IP addresses.

Adding a default route and gateway

A route provides the FortiGate unit with the information it needs to forward a

packet to a particular destination. A static route causes packets to be forwarded to

a destination other than the default gateway. You define static routes manually.

Static routes control traffic exiting the FortiGate unit-you can specify through which

interface the packet will leave and to which device the packet should be routed.

In the factory default configuration, entry number 1 in the Static Route list is

associated with a destination address of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0, which means any/all

destinations. This route is called the "static default route". If no other routes are

present in the routing table and a packet needs to be forwarded beyond the

FortiGate unit, the factory configured static default route causes the FortiGate unit

to forward the packet to the default gateway.

Adding firewall policies

Firewall policies enable traffic to flow through the FortiGate interfaces. Firewall policies to define the FortiGate unit process the packets in a communication session. You can configure the firewall policies to allow only specific traffic, users and specific times when traffic is allowed.

For the initial installation, a single firewall policy that enables all traffic through will enable you to verify your configuration is working. On lower-end units such a default firewall policy is already in place. For the higher end FortiGate units, you will need to add a firewall policy.

The following steps add two policies that allows all traffic through the FortiGate unit, to enable you to continue testing the configuration on the network.

To add an outgoing traffic firewall policy

config firewall profile

edit <seq_num>

set srcintf <source_interface> set srcaddr <source_IP> set dstintf <destination_interface> set dstaddr <destination_IP> set schedule always set service ANY set action accept

end

To create an incoming traffic firewall policy, use the same commands with the addresses reversed.

Note that these policies allow all traffic through. No protection profiles have been applied. Ensure you create additional firewall policies to accommodate your network requirements.

Configuring Transparent mode

Configuring Transparent mode involves switching to Transparent mode, configuring the management IP address, default routes, and simple firewall policies. You can use the web-based manager or the CLI to configure the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode.

Configuring Verify the configuration

Verify the configuration

Your FortiGate unit is now configured and connected to the network. To verify the

FortiGate unit is connected and configured correctly, use your web browser to

browse a web site, or use your email client to send and receive email.

If you cannot browse to the web site or retrieve/send email from your account,

review the previous steps to ensure all information was entered correctly and try

again.

Remember, to verify the firewall policies. The firewall policies control the flow of

information through the FortiGate unit. If they are not set up correctly, or are too

restrictive, it can prohibit network traffic.

Backing up the configuration

Once you have determined your FortiGate is configured and working correctly, it is

extremely important that you back up your configuration. By backing up the

configuration, you ensure that if you need to reset the FortiGate unit for whatever

reason, you will be able to quickly return it to operation with minimal effort.

To back up the FortiGate configuration 1 Go to System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore. 2 Select to back up to your PC or to a USB key.

The USB Disk option will be grayed out if the FortiGate unit supports USB disks

but none are connected. 3 Select Encrypt the backup file.

Encryption must be enabled on the backup file to backup VPN certificates. 4 Enter a password and enter it again to confirm it. You will need this password to

restore the file.

5 Select Backup. 6 The web browser will prompt you for a location to save the configuration file. The

configuration file will have a .conf extension.

It is a good practice to backup the FortiGate configuration after any modification to

any of the FortiGate settings. Alternatively, before performing an upgrade to the

firmware, ensure you backup the configuration before upgrading. Should anything

happen during the upgrade that changes the configuration, you can easily restore

the saved configuration.

4 Enter a password if required. 5 Select Restore.

The FortiGate unit will load the configuration file and restart. Once the restart has

completed, verify that the configuration has been restored.

Additional configuration

With the FortiGate connected and allowing traffic to pass-through, there are a few

other configuration. While not mandatory, they will help in ensuring better control

with the firewall.

Set the time and date

For effective scheduling and logging, the FortiGate system date and time must be

accurate. You can either manually set the system date and time or configure the

FortiGate unit to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a

Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

To set the date and time 1 Go to System > Status. 2 Under System Information > System Time, select Change. 3 Select your Time Zone. 4 Optionally, select Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes. 5 Select Set Time and set the FortiGate system date and time. 6 If you want to synchronize the time with an NTP server, enable the option. 7 Select OK.

Note: If you choose the option Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes, the

system time must be manually adjusted after daylight savings time ends.

Set the Administrator password

The default administrator password is no password. You will want to apply a

password to prevent anybody logging into the FortiGate and changing

configuration options.

Alternatively, you can also add new administrator users by selecting Create New,

however, you cannot remove the admin administrator. Applying a password for

this account is recommended.

Configure FortiGuard

Configure the FortiGate unit to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution Network

(FDN) to update the antivirus, antispam and IPS attack definitions.

The FDN is a world wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). When

the FortiGate unit connects to the FDN, it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this,

all FortiGate units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest

time zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiGate unit.

Before you can begin receiving updates, you must register your FortiGate unit

from the Fortinet web page. For information about registering your FortiGate unit,

see “Register your FortiGate unit” on page 7.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures

After you have registered your FortiGate unit, you can update antivirus and IPS

signatures. The FortiGuard Center enables you to receive push updates, allow

push update to a specific IP address, and schedule updates for daily, weekly, or

hourly intervals.

To update antivirus definitions and IPS signatures 1 Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard. 2 Select the blue arrow for AntiVirus and IPS Options to expand the options. 3 Select Update Now to update the antivirus definitions.

If the connection to the FDN is successful, the web-based manager displays a

message similar to the following:

Your update request has been sent. Your database will be updated in a few minutes. Please check your update page for the status of the update.

After a few minutes, if an update is available, the System FortiGuard Center page

lists new version information for antivirus definitions. The System Status page also

displays new dates and version numbers for the antivirus definitions. Messages

are recorded to the event log indicating whether the update was successful or not.

Note: Updating antivirus definitions can cause a very short disruption in traffic currently

being scanned while the FortiGate unit applies the new signature database. Schedule

updates when traffic is light, for example overnight, to minimize any disruption.

For details on further FortiGuard configuration, see the FortiGate Administration

Guide.

Advanced configuration Protection profiles

Advanced configuration

The FortiGate unit and the FortiOS operating system provide a wide range of

features that enable you to control network and internet traffic and protect your

network. This chapter describes some of these options and how to configure

them.

This chapter includes

• Protection profiles

• Firewall policies

• Antivirus options

• AntiSpam options

• Web filtering

• Logging

Protection profiles

A protection profile is a group of settings you can adjust to suit your requirements

for network protection. Since protection profiles apply different protection settings

to traffic controlled by firewall policies, you can tailor the settings to the type of

traffic each policy handles.

Use protection profiles to configure:

• antivirus protection

• web filtering

• web category filtering

• spam filtering

• content archiving

• instant messaging filtering and access control

• P2P access and bandwidth control

• logging options for policies and configurations within the policies

• rate limiting for VoIP protocols.

Using protection profiles, you can 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 policies for different traffic services to use the same

or different protection profiles.

The FortiGate unit is preconfigured with four default protection profiles. In many

cases you can use these default protection profiles, or use them as a starting

point in creating your own.

Table 1: Default protection profiles

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

Scan Apply virus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP traffic.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide 01-30006-0446-20080910 31

The strict protection profile may not be useful under normal circumstances but it is available when maximum protection is required.

Firewall policies Advanced configuration

Web Apply virus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP traffic. Unfiltered Apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use the unfiltered content profile if no

content protection for content traffic is required. Add this protection profile to firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure networks where content does not need to be protected.

The best way to begin creating your own protection profile is to open a predefined profile. This way you can see how a profile is set up, and then modify it suit your requirements. You access Protection profile options by going to Firewall > Protection Profile, and selecting Edit for one of the predefined profiles.

Protection profiles are used by the firewall policies to determine how network and Internet traffic is controlled, scanned and when necessary, rejected. The Protection Profiles can be considered the rules of the firewall policy. Because of this, you should take some time to review the various options to consider what you want the firewall policies to do. If, after setting the protection profile and firewall policies, traffic is not flowing or flowing too much, verify your profile settings.

The number of options and configuration for the protection profile is too vast for this document. For details on each protection profile feature and setting, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

Firewall policies

Firewall policies are instructions the FortiGate unit uses to decide what to do with a connection request. When the firewall receives a connection request, it analyzes it to extract its source address, destination address, and port number.

For the connection through the FortiGate unit to be successful, the source address, destination address, and service of the connection must match a firewall policy. The policy directs the firewall action for the connection. The action can be to allow the connection, deny the connection, require authentication before the connection is allowed, or process the packet as an IPSec VPN connection.

You can configure each firewall policy to route connections or apply network address translation (NAT) to translate source and destination IP addresses and ports. You also add protection profiles to firewall policies to apply different protection settings for the traffic controlled by firewall policies.

The FortiGate unit matches firewall policies by searching from the top of the firewall policy list and moving down until it finds the first match, then performs the required address translation, blocking and so on described by the protection profile, then passes on the packet information. This is important, because once the FortiGate unit finds a match to a policy, it will not continue down the list. You need to arrange policies in the policy list from more specific to more general.

For example, if you have two policies, one that blocks specific URLs or IP addresses, and another general policy that lets traffic through. If you put the general policy at the top, the FortiGate unit will act on the general policy, figuring the policy has been matched and potentially let the URLs or IPs you wanted blocked through.

Note: No traffic will flow through a FortiGate unit until at least one firewall policy is added.

Advanced configuration Antivirus options

Configuring firewall policies

To add or edit a firewall policy go to Firewall > Policy and select Edit on an

existing policy, or select Create New to add a policy.

The source and destination Interface/Zone match the firewall policy with the

source and destination of a communication session. The Address Name matches

the source and destination address of the communication session.

Schedule defines when the firewall policy is enabled. While most policies are

always on, you can configure a firewall policy so that it is only on at specific times

of the day. For example, you may want to block news and entertainment sites

most of the day, except during lunch or after work, enabling your employees to

only view those sites during non-working times.

Service matches the firewall policy with the service used by a communication

session. This enables you to configure a policy for general web surfing and a

different policy specifically for other traffic such as SMTP mail or FTP uploads and

downloads.

Action defines how the FortiGate unit processes traffic. Specify an action to

accept or deny traffic or configure a firewall encryption policy.

• Add ACCEPT policies that accept communication sessions. Using an accept policy, you can apply FortiGate features such as virus scanning and authentication to the communication session accepted by the policy.

• Add DENY policies to deny communication sessions.

• Add IPSec encryption policies to enable IPSec tunnel mode VPN traffic and SSL VPN encryption policies to enable SSL VPN traffic. Firewall encryption policies determine which types of IP traffic will be permitted during an IPSec or SSL VPN session.

Antivirus options

Select Protection Profile to include apply a protection profile to the firewall policy for scanning of traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.

For details on the firewall policies features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

The FortiGate unit’s antivirus configuration prevents malicious files from entering and infecting your network environment.

The FortiGate unit uses a number of processes to scan files to ensure unwanted files and potential attackers do not get through. The FortiGate unit scans using these antivirus options:

• File pattern - The FortiGate will check the file against the file pattern setting you have configured. You can set which file names or file types the FortiGate unit looks for in the incoming traffic.

• Virus scan - The virus definitions are kept up to date through the FortiNet Distribution Network. The list is updated on a regular basis so you do not have to wait for a firmware upgrade. Note that you must register the FortiGate unit to and purchase FortiGuard services to use virus scanning through the FDN.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide 01-30006-0446-20080910 33

AntiSpam options Advanced configuration

• Grayware - These are unsolicited commercial software programs that are installed on computers, often without the user's consent or knowledge. Grayware programs are generally considered an annoyance, but these programs can cause system performance problems or be used for malicious ends. The FortiGate unit scans for known grayware executable programs in each enabled category.

• Heuristics - The FortiGate heuristic antivirus engine performs tests on the file to detect virus-like behavior or known virus indicators. In this way, heuristic scanning may detect new viruses, but may also produce some false positive results.

The antivirus elements work in sequence to give you an efficient method of scanning incoming files. The first three elements have specific functions, the fourth, the heuristics, is to cover any new previously unknown virus threats. The four elements work together to offer your network unparalleled antivirus protection. To ensure that your system is providing the most protection available, all virus definitions and signatures are up dated regularly through the FortiGuard antivirus services.

To configure the file patterns that the FortiGate scans, go to AntiVirus > File Filter.

To enable grayware blocking, go to AntiVirus > Config > Grayware. Antivirus settings are turned on in the protection profile. In the protection profile

you can enable antivirus options for specific services and which services will use the file patterns as a part of the antivirus process.

To configure antivirus protection profile settings, go to Firewall > Protection Profile. Select edit for a profile and select the Anti-Virus options.

For details on the antivirus features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

AntiSpam options

The FortiGate unit’s antispam feature detects unsolicited commercial email by identifying spam email messages and spam transmissions from known or suspected spam servers.

This feature requires a FortiGuard subscription and a registered FortiGate unit. When the FortiGate unit receives an email message, it verifies with the FortiGuard server whether it is a valid email or a spam message. FortiGuard Antispam is one of the features designed to manage spam. FortiGuard is an antispam system from Fortinet that includes an IP address black list, a URL black list, and spam filtering tools. The FortiGuard Center accepts submission of spam email messages as well as well as reports of false positives.

Depending on how you configure the FortiGate unit, the FortiGate unit will either tag the message with text so you can easily identify the spam, or delete the message before it reaches the recipient.

The FortiGate unit also enables you to create your own spam filters using banned words and black/white lists.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide

34 01-30006-0446-20080910

Advanced configuration Web filtering

Banned word lists are specific words that may be typically found in email. The FortiGate unit searches for words or patterns in email messages. If matches are found, values assigned to the words are totalled. If the defined threshold value is exceeded, the message is marked as spam. If no match is found, the email message is passed along to the next filter.

You configure banned words by going to Antispam > Banned Word. While FortiGuard services maintain a large list of known spammers, it is not

perfect. In some cases, some mail tagged as spam is an individual you want to receive mail from, while email that is not caught by the spam filters or users you don’t want to receive email from gets through to your inbox.

White lists and black lists enable you to maintain a list of email addresses that you want (white list) or don’t want (black list) to receive email from. You can add or remove addresses from lists as required. The FortiGate unit uses both an IP address list and an email address list to filter incoming email, if enabled in the protection profile.

When performing an IP address list check, the FortiGate unit compares the IP address of the message's sender to the IP address list in sequence. If a match is found, the action associated with the IP address is taken. If no match is found, the message is passed to the next enabled spam filter.

Web filtering

When performing an email list check, the FortiGate unit compares the email address of the message's sender to the email address list in sequence. If a match is found, the action associated with the email address is taken. If no match is found, the message is passed to the next enabled antispam filter.

To configure black/white lists, go to AntiSpam > Black/White List. You enable antispam options for each mail service (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) in

the protection profile. To configure antispam protection profile settings, go to Firewall > Protection Profile. Select edit for a profile and select the Spam Filtering options.

For details on the antispam features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

Web filtering is a method of controlling what web sites are viewable by users. There are three main sections to web filtering: the Web Filter Content Block, the URL Filter, and the FortiGuard Web filter. Each interact with each other in such a way as to provide maximum control and protection for the Internet users.

Web filtering options are enabled and configured in the protection profile settings by going to Firewall > Protection Profile. Select edit for a profile and selecting either the FortiGuard Web Filtering options or the Web Filtering options. You need to register your FortiGate unit and purchase FortiGuard services to use FortiGuard Web Filtering.

Content blocking enables you to specify file types and words that the FortiGate unit should block when encountered. With web content block enabled, every requested web page is checked against the content block list. The score value of each pattern appearing on the page is added, and if the total is greater than the threshold value set in the protection profile, the page is blocked.

FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide 01-30006-0446-20080910 35

Logging Advanced configuration

To configure content blocking, go to Web Filter > Content Block. URL filter enables you to control additional web sites that you can block or allow.

This enables you greater control over certain URLs or sub-URLs. The FortiGate unit allows or blocks web pages matching any specified URLs or patterns and displays a replacement message instead.

To configure URL filters, go to Web Filter > URL Filter. FortiGuard web filtering is a managed web filtering solution provided by Fortinet.

FortiGuard web filtering sorts hundreds of millions of web pages into a wide range of categories users can allow, block, or monitor. FortiGuard web filtering includes over 60 million individual ratings of web sites applying to hundreds of millions of pages. Pages are sorted and rated into 56 categories users can allow, block, or monitor. Categories may be added to, or updated, as the Internet evolves. You need to have a FortiGuard subscription to take advantage of FortiGuard web filtering.

The FortiGate unit also enables you to override the FortiGuard filtering designation, and you can add your own. To customize your FortiGuard web filtering, go to Web Filter > FortiGuard - Web Filter.

For details and configuration options for the web filtering features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

Logging

Logging is an indirect method of protecting your network. The FortiGate unit’s robust logging features enable you to see the attacks, spam and virus activity is occurring on your network. Using this information, you can then take the corrective action necessary to resolve any problems before they become major problems.

With alert email, you can configure the FortiGate unit to send alert messages, when specific events occur with specific frequency. By logging to a FortiAnalyzer unit, you can run over 300 reports on various network traffic.

To configure logging, go to Log&Report > Log Setting. For details and configuration options for the logging features and settings, see the

FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.

Selecting a modem mode

The modem interface can work in one of two modes: redundant and stand alone mode.

To select an operational mode for the modem interface 1 Go to System > Network > Modem. 2 Select Enable modem. 3 Select Redundant for the mode.

To select an operational mode using the CLI, type:

config system modem

set status enable set status mode redundant

end

Redundant mode

The redundant modem interface is a backup to the external interface connected to

the Internet. If the Ethernet connection goes down for whatever reason, the

modem automatically dials the configured dial-up account(s). When the modem

connects to a dial-up account, the FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally

destined for the selected Ethernet interface to the modem interface. During this

time, the FortiGate unit pings the Ethernet connection to check when it is back

online.

Configuring modem settings Configuring the modem interface

When the Ethernet interface can connect to its network again, the FortiGate unit disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the Ethernet interface.

Note: Do not add firewall policies for connections between the Ethernet interface that the modem replaces and other interfaces.

Note: Do not add a default route to the Ethernet interface that the modem interface replaces.

Stand alone mode

In stand alone mode, the modem interface operates as the primary connection to the Internet. The FortiGate unit routes traffic through the modem interface, which remains permanently connected to the dial-up account.

If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiGate unit modem automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up account.

Configuring modem settings

To configure the modem settings, go to System > Network > Modem.

to the interface.

4 Select the Enable check box. 5 Select OK to save the changes.

Dead gateway detection

The FortiGate unit uses dead gateway detection to ping the Ping Server IP

address to make sure the FortiGate unit can connect to this IP address.

Modify dead gateway detection to control how the FortiGate unit confirms

connectivity with a ping server added to an interface configuration. For information

about adding a ping server to an interface, see above.

To modify the dead gateway detection settings 1 Go to System > Network > Options. 2 For Detection Interval, type a number in seconds to specify how often the

FortiGate unit tests the connection to the ping target. 3 For Fail-over Detection, type a number of times that the connection test fails

before the FortiGate unit assumes the gateway is no longer functioning. 4 Select Apply.

12 Type D.

The FortiGate unit installs the new firmware image and restarts. The installation might take a few minutes to complete.

Restoring the previous configuration

Change the internal interface address, if required. You can do this from the CLI using the following command:

config system interface

edit <interface>

set ip <address_ip4mask> set allowaccess {ping|https|ssh|telnet|http}

end

After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the web-based manager and restore the configuration.

Backup and Restore from a USB key

Use a USB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file. You should always make sure a USB key is properly install before proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.

Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the configuration file. An encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB Auto-Install feature.

To backup configuration using the CLI 1 Log into the CLI. 2 Enter the following command to backup the configuration files:

exec backup config usb <filename>

3 Enter the following command to check the configuration files are on the key:

exec usb-disk list

To restore configuration using the CLI 1 Log into the CLI. 2 Enter the following command to restore the configuration files:

exec restore image usb <filename>

The FortiGate unit responds with the following message:

This operation will replace the current firmware version!

Do you want to continue? (y/n)

3 Type y.

Using the USB Auto-Install

The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration

file and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an

additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting

down or rebooting your FortiGate unit.

Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files,

image.out and system.conf, must be in the root directory of the USB key.

Note: Make sure at least FortiOS v3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before

installing.

To configure the USB Auto-Install using the CLI 1 Log into the CLI. 2 Enter the following command:

config system auto-install

set default-config-file <filename> set auto-intall-config {enable | disable} set default-image-file <filename> set auto-install-image {enable | disable}

end

3 Enter the following command to see the new firmware installation settings:

get system status

Additional CLI Commands for a USB key

Use the following CLI commands when you want to delete a file from the FortiUSB

key, list what files are on the key, including formatting the key or renaming a file:

• exec usb-disk list

• exec usb-disk delete <filename>

• exec usb-disk format

• exec usb-disk rename <old_filename1> <old_filename2>

Note: If you are trying to delete a configuration file from the CLI command interface, and

the filename contains spaces, you will need quotations around the filename before you can

delete the file from the FortiUSB key.

Testing new firmware before installing FortiGate Firmware

Testing new firmware before installing

You can test a new firmware image by installing the firmware image from a system reboot and saving it to system memory. After completing this procedure, the FortiGate unit operates using the new firmware image with the current configuration. This new firmware image is not permanently installed. The next time the FortiGate unit restarts, it operates with the originally installed firmware image using the current configuration. If the new firmware image operates successfully, you can install it permanently using the procedure “Upgrading the firmware” on

page 48.

To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console port and a RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable. This procedure temporarily installs a new firmware image using your current configuration.

For this procedure you install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiGate internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as the internal interface.

To test the new firmware image 1 Connect to the CLI using a RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable. 2 Make sure the TFTP server is running. 3 Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server. 4 Make sure the internal interface is connected to the same integer as the TFTP

server.

You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP

server. For example, if the TFTP server’s IP address is 192.168.1.168:

execute ping 192.168.1.168

5 Enter the following command to restart the FortiGate unit:

execute reboot

6 As the FortiGate unit reboots, press any key to interrupt the system startup. As the

FortiGate unit starts, a series of system startup messages appears.

When the following messages appears:

Press any key to display configuration menu....

7 Immediately press any key to interrupt the system startup.

Note: You have only 3 seconds to press any key. If you do not press a key soon enough,

the FortiGate unit reboots and you must login and repeat the execute reboot

command.

If you successfully interrupt the startup process, the following messages appears:

[G]: Get firmware image from TFTP server. [F]: Format boot device. [Q]: Quit menu and continue to boot with default firmware. [H]: Display this list of options.

Enter G, F, Q, or H:

8 Type G to get the new firmware image from the TFTP server.

The following message appears:

Enter TFTP server address [192.168.1.168]:

9 Type the address of the TFTP server and press Enter:

The following message appears:

Enter Local Address [192.168.1.188]:

10 Type an IP address of the FortiGate unit to connect to the TFTP server.

The IP address must be on the same network as the TFTP server, but make sure you do not use the IP address of another device on the network.

The following message appears:

Enter File Name [image.out]:

11 Enter the firmware image file name and press Enter.

The TFTP server uploads the firmware image file to the FortiGate unit and the following appears.

Save as Default firmware/Backup firmware/Run image without saving: [D/B/R]

12 Type R.

The FortiGate image is installed to system memory and the FortiGate unit starts running the new firmware image, but with its current configuration.

You can test the new firmware image as required. When done testing, you can reboot the FortiGate unit, and the FortiGate unit will resume using the firmware that was running before you installed the test firmware.
