Device Administration Web Config CLI Click here to read more about using the CLI
Administrators Customized access Full access Read-only access Scope: VDOM or Global
Global Scope Super Admin Profiles
Admin Profiles System Configuration Network Configuration Firewall Configuration UTM Configuration VPN Configuration etc Read Read-Write Admin Profile
Administrators Full access within a single virtual domain Full access super-admin profile Custom access custom profile prof-admin profile
Administrator Authentication Username and Password (one factor) FortiToken (two factor) +
Device Configuration Setting *.conf
Device Configuration *.conf Device configuration settings can be saved to an external file Optional encryption The file can be restored to rollback device to a previous configuration SCP supported for configuration restore FortiGate unit acts as SCP server set admin-scp enable Example - Restore from Linux :fgt-restore-config
Per VDOM Configuration File
Configuration Restore using SCP Protocol Must rename to sys_config during upload scp Full configuration file Includes all VDOMs
DHCP Server – IP Reservation
IP address reserved and always assigned to the same DHCP host Select an IP address or choose an existing DHCP lease to add to the reserved list Identify the IP address reservation as either DHCP over Ethernet or DHCP over IPSec MAC address of the DHCP host is used to look up the IP address in the IP reservation table DHCP Server – IP Reservation
FortiGate DNS Server Resolve DNS lookups from an internal network Methods to set up DNS for each interface: Relay DNS requests to the DNS servers configured for the unit Resolve DNS requests using a FortiGate DNS database Unresolved DNS requests are dropped Split DNS configuration DNS requests can be resolved using a FortiGate DNS database and any unresolved DNS requests can be relayed to DNS servers configured for the unit One DNS database can be shared by all the FortiGate interfaces If VDOMs are enabled, a DNS database needs be created in each VDOM
DNS Server Configuration DNS zones need to be added when configuring the DNS database Each zone has its own domain name DNS entries are added to each zone An entry includes a hostname and the IP address it resolves to Each entry also specifies the type of DNS entry IPv4 address (A) or an IPv6 address (AAAA) name server (NS) canonical name (CNAME) mail exchange (MX) name IPv4 (PTR) or IPv6 (PTR)
DNS Service Add a new DNS Service to an interface and select a mode: Recursive Non-recursive Forward to System DNS (forward-only) CLI equivalent: config system dns-server edit wan1 set mode recursive
DNS Zones Create a new zone (Master)
DNS Zones Create a new zone (Slave)
DNS Records Add DNS entries
