[@ourusolutions7916]

Hi, foremost thanks for your videos. myself have a doubt whether we need to configure static routes in fortigate setup as shown in cookbook or not necessary?

[@KBTrainings]

Thank you for your viewership Kanthan. I assume you're talking about static route on WAN1...? In my case I didn't have to because the default route installed itself with the ISP DHCP configuration. But If I had another internal network that has no interface on the FortiGate, I would've had to configure static routes. Not sure if this answers your question. 🙂

[@gastonhitw720]

hiii when you bought it, did you ask the seller to reach fortigate in order to transfer the device registration? and if you did that, did fortigate just transfered the device to you for free? I wanna buy one but I'm unaware of the process

Could I use the as only the firewall for inbound/outbound to the internet. Do routing and dhcp from the orbi mesh?

[@KBTrainings]

Yes, I think you can do that by setting the physical ports to switch mode. Check out this article: cookbook.fortinet.com/choosing-fortigate-switch-mode/index.html Thank you for your viewership Ben!

[@romandavydov8684]

bro! excelent tutorials! thanks a lot. I have a question. give me your hand on it please 🙂! my ISP is using RG 45 network. the cable is coming to my router first and to the fortigate after router... I would like to get rid of the router and connect ISPs cable directly to the fortigate. My ISP is using L2TP for the connection. However when I try to configure WAN on my fortigate I can not see L2TP for co figuration. can such connection be created on my fortigate? please advise. thank you!

[@KBTrainings]

Hey Roman, Thank you for watching. I am not familiar with L2TP being use for hand off by the ISP, usually use it for VPN. But anyway, you should talk to the ISP, they might be able to help. Good luck!

[@eddiek8185]

Guy, I would like to get the FortiGate 80D for my homework, how does the licensing work? do you pay every year? Are there any other models you can recommend for a home network?

[@jeffreyooi1971]

Hi, first of all thank you for sharing. The video is simple to understand. I have few questions and hope you can help. 1) For a small home, which one you recommend.. Fortigate 60D or 80D? 2) In this video, the WAN interface you set it to DHCP. What if my ISP is using PPPoE? How does the configuration look like? Can you share it? Thank you very much..

[@KBTrainings]

For a small business, I would advise anything between the 30E and the 80F, depending on the throughput you are looking for. Check out this link and select entry level: www.fortinet.com/products/next-generation-firewall?tab=models-specs#models-specs But between the 80D and 60D, I will pick the 80D. For PPPo#, under the WAN interface, change the "Addressing mode" to PPPoE and insert your credentials.

[@medz1256]

Hey, maybe silly question but does this firewall has implicite deny on incoming connection from outside or di we have to define a rule for that. Also i guess that established connection are implicitely accepted is that right? Thanks for your videos, very helpful. Take care

[@KBTrainings]

Hi Medz, I need to verify about the deny all rule, it should be there at the end of all the rules, if not, you need to create one. Not sure if it comes with the device. This is a stateful firewall, so outbound connections do not need a rule to be accepted back in the network. Thank you, Guy

[@luciasolis208]

Hi, I work in access security control, so I manage AD and software application, but I've never managed a Firewall, currently I'm working over my CISSP, so what is your recommendation to begin to set up a Firewall.

[@vikramshekhawat7802]

Just do that

[@benmontgomery3275]

Curious how you'd use the fortigate if I have a mesh network router today. Would the fortigate be the nat router or would my Orbi?

[@KBTrainings]

You can use the mesh devices as access points only and delegate all the routing/nating to the FortiGate. Thank you for your viewership Ben!

[@antoniorodrigues8495]

First of all i am totally new to firewalls. I would like to know what is the concept of public IP. If i got one then can i use on this Device ?

[@KBTrainings]

Public IPs are ranges of IPs that can be use on the internet. They must be unique for everything to work well. You need one from your ISP to connect to the internet. I will make a video about it. And I talk about it in this CCNA lesson: kbtrainings.com/topic/lesson-1-1-4-ip-address/

[@jerrysanchez8361]

Can you have your WAN subnet and LAN subnet different ?

[@KBTrainings]

Yes, sure. They have to be different as they are two distinct networks.

[@ariestoon]

Hi, this is a question from a begineer, does it required to know the no of user in purchasing a firewall.?

[@KBTrainings]

When building a network or planning for a firewall, it helpsnto know the number of users you will have for many reason... Bandwidth, VPN clients... For exemple, firewalls have a certains numbers of VPN tunnels they can build at a given time, usually depending on some kind of license you have...

[@DEDEPLDEDE]

Hey KBT. Why I am unable to connect internet on my port1 ISP?? First I used static IP with ISPs gatway - didnt have internet. Now I got rid off static route and connected ISP to give me IP address but still unable to surf internet. What I do wrong ?? please help

[@willo7380]

Which is better Cisco ASA or the device you using in this video?

[@KBTrainings]

The ASA is not a NGFW (New Generation Firewall), so this FortiGate 80D is better and provides more options and control. If I want to go Cisco, I would buy a Cisco Firepower.

[@HahnC]

Do you still running this setup after two years? How is your experince? I am getting a Fortigate 80D today to also access my Eve-Ng lab at home remotely. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the idea

[@KBTrainings]

The experience is good. I went from the 80D to the 60E about 4 months ago because the 80D can't receive OS updates anymore, which is not a big deal. 2 days ago I switches to the UDM Pro SE, that is what I am using now. Cool, let me know how it goes.

Why connecting cable from ISP to port 1 I have no connectivity to the intrnet ??

Sorry, I am not sure I understand the question. But you have only 4 ports on the 80D and you need to configure one of them as WAN, I picked port 1.

Yeah. Your ISP can probably help. You need know what kinds of connections you have. Mine currently is a PPPoE where I need credentials and a VLAN tag 201 on the port to connect, so there might be a lot to do there. You can call your ISP for details. Thanks, Guy.

[@samiam9059]

Trying out their hardware against Sophos and Watchguard, pfsense, Zyxel, Netgear and juniper has been painful. Maybe they are not caring about the small 40F wifi after touting it as just not sure. My first update took out WPA3 even though it continues to be available as an option. The wireless cookbook refuses to acknowledge anything about WPA3? The next latest update never fixed that and now took out all favorites. You make them and now they are all dropped in minutes. At this point it is offline and will check for future updates but how much of this downgrading one can take is crazy.

[@KBTrainings]

Yep, these things can sometimes have unpredictable behaviors. Having worked with an MSP supporting thousands of customers running FortiGates, I have seem some strange things. The unit might be defective or needs a full reset.

[@KBTrainings]

I know it is not the top of the line, but for a home network it does more than a regular router you get from your ISP, even without updates or licenses. I wouldn't advise this to a business though. Thank you for your viewership Wiziek!

[@wiziek]

@@KBTrainings What's the difference between home and enterprise setup if you open ports or service? Routers were attacked even through simple NAT with no opening ports, it is even worse state for devices without software update. I'm not talking about buying something expensive, just device that is hardware and software supported. No updates means no security...

[@KBTrainings]

The difference is that, in case of open ports, I have a list of allowed IP that can get through those ports (Workplace IP, Friends IP...) So they are not widely opened to all the internet. Which wouldn't be the case if I were hosting a website of any other kind of public services. I can do port forwarding with any other home router, but not all of them can let me choose which IPs to accept. No updates, no security! 🤔... It depends. I get your point and you're right, but there is a way to go around all the weaknesses and have a secured network with an old device. And I started using this device for my own training and I will definitely get another one in the future, looking into USG to match the rest of my network devices or Pfsense, not sure.
