This article depicits the way to create a WAN link interface that provides your FortiGate unit with redundant Internet connections from two Internet service providers (ISPs).

In this example, you will use FortiCloud, an online logging service provided by Fortinet, to store the logs of your FortiGate unit’s traffic. You will also access logs using the FortiCloud website.

In this example, you will use DHCP and your FortiGate’s default configuration to securely connect your internal network to the Internet in two simple steps.

In this example, you will set up and run some basic packet capture filters on your FortiGate and download and view the resulting .pcap file.

In this example, you will create multicast security policies to allow AirPlay communication between an iOS device and an Apple TV through a FortiGate unit. This recipe uses a FortiAP in Tunnel mode.

In this recipe, you will protect a web server by connecting it to your FortiGate’s DMZ network.

In this example, you will use FortiGuard Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) to allow a remote administrator to access your FortiGate’s Internet-facing interface using a domain name that remains constant, even when its IP address changes.

In this recipe you will create a FortiGate administrator account that is limited to read and write access for user and device authentication and read access for logging and reporting. In addition you will use the Trusted Hosts feature to control the IP address that the administrator can log in from.

In this example you will learn how to create a wan1 to Internal port pair to make it easier to allow access to a web server protected by a FortiGate in Transparent mode for devices with FortiOS 5.2 and above.

This example verifies the current version of FortiOS firmware and, if necessary, updates it to the latest version. And this recipe is only for FortiOS releases 5.2.2 and higher.

In this recipe, you learn how to use Traffic Shaping on your Fortigate to limit the bandwidth for a specific IP address and how to configure traffic shaping to set a maximum bandwidth limit for uploads and/or downloads to 200 kb/s for devices with FotiOS 5.2 and above.

This recipe provides an example of how you can configure redundant Internet connectivity for your network using SD-WAN. This allows you to load balance your Internet traffic between multiple ISP links and provides redundancy for your network’s Internet connection if your primary ISP is unavailable.

In this recipe, you block access to Facebook using web filtering, while making an exception to allow access to Workplace by Facebook.

This recipe provides an example of how to set up a FortiGate for redundant Internet connectivity using SD-WAN and then convert this single FortiGate into an FGCP HA cluster of two FortiGates.

In this recipe you set up a FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) virtual clustering configuration with four FortiGates to provide redundancy and failover protection for two networks.

In this recipe you set up a FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) virtual clustering configuration with two FortiGates to provide redundancy and failover protection for two networks.

This recipe describes how to add a third FortiGate to an already established FGCP cluster (the cluster from High Availability with FGCP) and configure active-active HA.

This recipe describes how to enhance the reliability of a network protected by a FortiGate by adding a second FortiGate and setting up a FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) High Availability cluster.

In this recipe, you create temporary guest accounts that can connect to your WiFi network after authenticating using a captive portal.

In this recipe, you will set up a WiFi network with by adding a FortiAP in Tunnel mode to your network.
