Secure installation, configuration, and management Introduction
Secure installation, configuration, and management
The FortiGate unit default configuration includes a default firewall policy and IP addresses and is only a few steps away from protecting your network. There are several ways to configure basic FortiGate settings:
• the web-based manager,
• the command line interface (CLI), or
• the setup wizard.
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.

Introduction Document conventions
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:
FortiWiFi-60 Installation Guide 01-28008-0030-20050128 9
Page 10
FortiGate documentation Introduction
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.
For example:
set allowaccess {ping https ssh snmp http telnet}
You can enter any of the following:
set allowaccess ping
set allowaccess ping https ssh
set allowaccess https ping ssh
set allowaccess snmp
In most cases to make changes to lists that contain options separated by spaces, you need to retype the whole list including all the options you want to apply and excluding all the options you want to remove.

Basic WiFi installation guidelines
Because the FortiWiFi-60 is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
• Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets do not block the radio signals to and from the access point.
• Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference.
Turning the FortiGate unit power on and off
To power on the FortiGate unit 1 Connect the AC adapter to the power connection at the back of the FortiWiFi-60 unit. 2 Connect the AC adapter to the power cable. 3 Connect the power cable to a power outlet.

Getting started Quick installation using factory defaults
Quick installation using factory defaults
You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the web­based manager and the factory default FortiGate configuration. All you need to do is set your network computers to obtain an IP address automatically and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically (using DHCP), access the web-based manager, and configure the required settings for the FortiGate WAN1 interface. You can also configure FortiGate DNS servers and add a FortiGate default route if needed.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network, automatically assigning IP addresses to up to 100 computers in the range
192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

DHCP server and DNS server
for the internal network
The Fortigate DHCP server also assigns the DNS server IP address 192.168.1.99 to each computer on the internal network. As a result, the FortiGate unit internal interface acts as a DNS server for the internal network. Using DNS forwarding, the FortiGate unit forwards DNS requests received from the internal network to the DNS server IP addresses added to the FortiGate unit configuration and returns lookup results to the internal network.
For more information about default DHCP server settings see “Factory default DHCP
server configuration” on page 22.
The following procedure describes how to configure your internal network and the FortiGate unit to use the FortiGate default settings.
1 Connect the FortiGate unit between the internal network and the Internet and turn on
the power.
2 Set the TCP/IP properties of the network computers to obtain an IP address
automatically and a DNS server IP address automatically (using DHCP).
3 From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99.
The FortiGate web-based manager appears.
4 Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the WAN1 interface. 5 Select one of the following Addressing modes
• Manual: enter a static IP address and netmask, select OK, and go to step 6
• DHCP: to get an IP address from the ISP select DHCP and go to step 9
• PPPoE: to get an IP address from the ISP select PPPoE and go to step 9

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 firewall configuration includes a single network address translation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of the network traffic passing through 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 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. The factory default configuration contains one firewall policy that allows all traffic originating on the internal network to access the Internet. No other traffic is allowed 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
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 and file quarantining to HTTP, FTP, IMAP,
You may not use the strict protection profile under normal circumstances but it is available if you have problems with viruses and require maximum screening.

content protection to content traffic. You can add this protection profile to firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure networks where content does not need to be protected.
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.
You can also configure the FortiGate unit and the network it protects using the default settings.
26 01-28008-0030-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
Page 27
Getting started Planning the FortiGate configuration
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:
• Internal is the interface to the internal network.
• WAN1 is the default interface to the external network (usually the Internet).
• WAN2 is the redundant interface to the external network.
• DMZ is the interface to the DMZ network.
• Modem is the interface for connecting an external modem to the FortiWiFi-60. See
“Configuring the modem interface” on page 69
• WLAN is the interface to the wireless LAN.
You must configure routing to support the redundant WAN1 and WAN2 internet connections. Routing can be used to automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to the external network fails.
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.

Planning the FortiGate configuration 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:
• WAN1 is the default interface to the external network (usually the Internet).
• WAN2 is the redundant interface to the external network. You can also use the modem interface as a redundant connection to the external network.
• Internal is the interface to the internal 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 one or more DMZ networks, in addition to the internal, private network, you can create route mode firewall policies for traffic flowing between them.
Figure 7: Example NAT/Route multiple internet connection configuration
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.

Once you have selected Transparent or NAT/Route mode operation, you can complete the configuration plan and begin to configure the FortiGate unit. Choose among three different tools to configure the FortiGate unit.
Web-based manager and setup wizard
The FortiGate web-based manager is a full featured management tool. You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings.
The web-based manager Setup Wizard guides you through the initial configuration steps. Use the Setup Wizard to configure the administrator password, the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. Optionally, use the Setup Wizard to configure the internal server settings for NAT/Route mode.
To connect to the web-based manager you require:
• Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and a management computer.
• Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on the management computer.
FortiWiFi-60 Installation Guide 01-28008-0030-20050128 29
Page 30
Next steps Getting started
CLI
The FortiGate CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password, the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To connect to the CLI you require:
• Serial connection between the FortiGate unit and a management computer.
• A terminal emulation application on the management computer.
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can switch to Transparent mode from the web-based manager and then use the setup wizard to add the administration password, the management IP address and gateway, and the DNS server addresses.
Next steps
Now that your FortiGate unit is operating, you can proceed to configure it to connect to networks:
• If you are going to operate the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode, go to
“NAT/Route mode installation” on page 41.
• If you are going to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, go to
“Transparent mode installation” on page 53.
• If you are going to operate two or more FortiGate units in HA mode, go to “High
availability installation” on page 61.

Using a wireless network
In a wired network, computers are connected through a series of cables that transfer information. In a wireless network, information is transferred over radio waves. There are factors that affect the transmission of data “on the air” that you must take into account when setting up a wireless network.
This chapter outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you can take to make your wireless network as efficient as possible.
This chapter includes:
• Setting up a wireless network
• Wireless Security
• FortiWiFi-60 operation modes
• Setting up the FortiWiFi-60 as an Access Point
Setting up a wireless network
In its simplest form, a wireless network is an Access Point communicating with one wireless device. An Access Point (AP) is a device that provides a communications hub for a wireless network. The AP and the wireless devices operate on a common radio channel. The FortiWiFi-60 acts as an AP and assigns all wireless users to the same subnet. With the proper firewall policies and routing, wireless users can communicate with users on the internal network or on an external network such as the Internet.

Positioning an Access Point
When placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP, your main concern is providing a strong signal to all users. A strong signal ensures a fast connection and the efficient transfer of data. A weaker signal means a greater chance of data transmission errors and the need to re-send information, slowing down data transfer.

Consider the following guidelines when placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP:
• Physical barriers can impede the radio signals. Solid objects such as walls, furniture and people absorb radio waves, weakening the signal. Be aware of the physical barriers in your office space that may reduce a signal. If there is enough physical interference, you may encounter dead spots that receive no signals.
• Ensure the FortiWiFi-60 AP is located in a prominent location within a room for maximum coverage, rather than in a corner.
• Construction materials used in a building can also weaken radio signals. Rooms with walls of concrete or metal can affect signal strength.
Radio Frequency interference
The 802.11 standard uses a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. Radio frequency (RF) interference occurs when other devices send RF signals during their normal operation that use the same frequency as the FortiWiFi-60 AP. Wireless devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices can interfere with packet transmission on a wireless network.
32 01-28008-0030-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
Page 33
Using a wireless network Setting up a wireless network
To avoid RF interference:
• Remove these devices from the immediate area where users are working. Something as simple as a Bluetooth enabled mouse may cause transmission interruptions.
• Keep the FortiWiFi-60 AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away from appliances such as microwave ovens and cordless phones.
• If you must have a cordless phone, select one that does not use the 2.4GHz frequency range.
• Consider more FortiWiFi-60 APs to help strengthen the signal. The weaker the signal, the slower the transmission will be as it tries to compete against other wireless devices.
• Set a channel that users and FortiWiFi-60 APs will specifically use can improve the signal quality.
Using multiple access points
If you cannot avoid some of these impediments due to the shape of the office or building materials used, you may need to use multiple FortiWiFi-60 APs to help distribute the radio signal around the room. Figure 10 shows how positioning two FortiWiFi-60 APs within a uniquely shaped office space helps to distribute signals around the area.

This sample office has washrooms, stairwell and an elevator shaft in the center of the building, making it impossible to use a single FortiWiFi-60 AP effectively. The elevator shaft and multiple metal stalls in the washrooms can cause signal degradation. However, placing a FortiWiFi-60 AP in opposite corners of the office provides maximum coverage.
LINK 100 LINK 100 LINK 100 LINK 100 LINK 100 LINK 100 LINK 100
When using multiple APs, each FortiWiFi-60 AP should be set to a different channel to avoid interference in areas where signals from both FortiWiFi-60 devices can be received.

Wireless Security Using a wireless network
Wireless Security
Radio waves transmitted between a wireless device and access points provide the weakest link between the wireless device and network servers. Wireless networking can be risky because information travels on radio waves, which is a public medium. The 802.11 standard includes security options to stop your information from being intercepted by unwanted sources. These are Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Wireless encryption is only used between the wireless device and the AP. The AP decrypts the data before sending it along the wired network. The FortiWiFi-60 supports both encryption methods.
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP security uses an encryption key between the wireless device and the AP. For WEP security, the wireless device and AP must use the same encryption key, which is manually typed by the wireless user and administrator. When activated, the wireless device encrypts the data with the encryption key for each frame using RSA RC4 ciphers.
There has been criticism of WEP security. WEP keys are static. They must be changed manually and frequently on both the wireless device and the APs. On a small company or network with a few users and APs, this is not a big issue. However, the more users and APs, changing WEP keys regularly can become an administrative headache and potentially error prone. Consequently, keys are rarely changed over months or years, leaving a hacker plenty of time to get the key and gain access to the network.
In small wireless networking environments, activating WEP security will significantly minimize outside infiltrators from getting in your network and is better than no security at all. However, it is still very important that you regularly change the WEP key, at least weekly; or monthly at most.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA was developed to replace the WEP standard and provide a higher level of data protection for wireless networks. WPA provides two methods of authentication; through 802.1X authentication or pre-shared keys.
802.1X authenticates users through an EAP authentication server such as a RADIUS
server, which generates unique encryption keys automatically with each session. The RADIUS server authenticates each user before they can connect to the network. The encryption keys can be changed at varying intervals to minimize the opportunity for hackers to crack the key being used.
In a network setup where a RADIUS server is not a viable option, WPA also provides authentication with preshared keys using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Using TKIP, the encryption key is continuously re-keyed while the user is connected to the wireless network. This creates a unique key on every data packet. To further ensure data integrity, a Message Integrity Code (MIC also known as Michael) is incorporated into each packet. It uses an 8 byte message integrity code that is encrypted using the MAC addresses and data from each frame to provide a more secure packet transmission.
34 01-28008-0030-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
Page 35
Using a wireless network FortiWiFi-60 operation modes
WPA provides a more robust security between the wireless device and the access point. The FortiWiFi-60 device supports both WPA methods.
Additional security measures
The FortiWiFi-60 includes other security measures you can use to block unwanted users from accessing your wireless network. By setting a few extra options, you can be assured that your network and its information is secure.
MAC address filtering
To improve the security of your wireless network, consider enabling MAC address filtering on the FortiWiFi-60 unit. By enabling this feature, you define the wireless devices that can access the network based on their system MAC address. When a user attempts to access the wireless network, the FortiWiFi-60 unit checks the MAC address of the user to the list you created. If the MAC address is on the approved list, the user gains access to the network. If the user is not in the list, the user is rejected. Using MAC address filtering makes it more difficult for a hacker using random MAC addresses or spoofing a MAC address to gain access to your network.
Service Set Identifier
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name shared by all users on a wireless network. Wireless users should configure their computers to connect to the network that broadcasts this network name. For security reasons, do not leave the default name of “fortinet” as the network name.
Broadcasting enables wireless users to find a network. The FortiWiFi-60 unit includes an option not to broadcast the SSID. This provides an extra layer of protection. If you configure all wireless users to the correct SSID, you do not need to enable the broadcasting of the SSID.
FortiWiFi-60 operation modes
The FortiWiFi-60 has two modes of operation for wireless networking: Access Point and Client.
Access Point mode
When using the FortiWiFi-60 device in Access Point mode, the device acts as an access point for wireless users to connect to, send and receive information over a wireless network. It enables multiple wireless network users access the network without the need to connect to it physically. The FortiWiFi-60 device can connect to the internal network and act as a firewall to the internet. Access Point mode is the default mode.

When using the FortiWiFi-60 in Client mode, the device is set to receive transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect remote users to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that does not have a wired infrastructure.
For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sides of the building. Running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment. The FortiWiFi-60 unit can support wired users using its 4 ethernet ports and can connect to another Access Point wirelessly as a Client. This connects the wired users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.

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.

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.

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.
FortiWiFi-60 Installation Guide 01-28008-0030-20050128 65
Page 66
Connecting the cluster to your networks 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 WAN1 interfaces of each FortiGate unit to a switch or hub connected to your external network.
• Connect the DMZ interfaces of the FortiGate units to another switch or hub. By default the DMZ interfaces are used for HA heartbeat communications. These interfaces should be connected together for the HA cluster to function.
• Optionally connect the WAN2 interface of each FortiGate unit to a switch or hub connected a second external network.

2 Power on all the FortiGate units in the cluster.
As the units start, they negotiate to choose the primary cluster unit and the subordinate units. This negotiation occurs with no user intervention and normally just takes a few seconds.
Installing and configuring the cluster
When negotiation is complete the you can configure the cluster as if it was a single FortiGate unit.
• If you are installing a NAT/Route mode cluster, use the information in “NAT/Route
mode installation” on page 41 to install the cluster on your network
• If you are installing a Transparent mode cluster, use the information in
“Transparent mode installation” on page 53 to install the cluster on your network.
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.

FortiWiFi-60 Installation Guide Version 2.80 MR8
Configuring the modem interface
The FortiWiFi-60 includes the option of an external modem for use as either a redundant interface or a standalone interface in NAT/Route mode.
• In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
• In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate unit to the Internet.
When connecting to an ISP in either configuration, the modem can automatically dial up to three dialup accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
This chapter describes:
• Selecting a modem mode
• Configuring modem settings
• Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Standalone mode
• Defining a Ping Server
• Adding firewall policies for modem connections
Selecting a modem mode
The external modem, when connected to the FortiWiFi-60 can work in one of two modes, depending on your requirements:
• redundant mode
• standalone mode.
Redundant mode configuration
The redundant modem interface in redundant mode backs up a selected ethernet interface. If that ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically dials the configured dialup account(s). When the modem connects to a dialup account, the FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected ethernet interface to the modem interface. During this time, the unit pings the ethernet connection to check when it is back online.
When the ethernet interface can connect to its network again, the FortiGate unit disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the ethernet interface.
FortiWiFi-60 Installation Guide 01-28008-0030-20050128 69
Page 70
Selecting a modem mode Configuring the modem interface
For the FortiGate unit to switch from an ethernet interface to the modem you must select the name of the interface in the modem configuration and configure a ping server for that interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections between the modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
Note: Do not add policies for connections between the modem interface and the interface that the modem is backing up.
To configure backup modeTo configure a redundant modem connection 1 Go to System > Network > Modem. 2 Select Redundant for the mode. 3 From the Redundant for list, select the ethernet interface that you want the modem to
back up. 4 Configure other modem settings as required.
“Configuring modem settings” on page 71.
5 Configure a ping server for the ethernet interface selected in step 3.
See “Defining a Ping Server” on page 73. 6 Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface.
See “Adding firewall policies for modem connections” on page 74.
Standalone mode configuration
In standalone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dialup account. 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 dialup account.
If the connection to the dialup account fails, the FortiGate unit automatically redials
the modem. The modem redials the ISP number based on the amount of times
specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dialup account.
In standalone mode the modem interface replaces the WAN1 or WAN2 ethernet
interface. When configuring the modem, you must set Redundant for to the name of
the ethernet interface that the modem interface replaces. You must also configure
firewall policies for connections between the modem interface and other FortiGate
interfaces.
Note: Do not add a default route to the ethernet interface that the modem interface replaces.
Note: Do not add firewall policies for connections between the ethernet interface that the
modem replaces and other interfaces.
To operate in standalone mode 1 Go to System > Network > Modem. 2 From the Redundant for list, select the ethernet interface that the modem is replacing.
