[@justing7667]

This is a very good practical setup. But keep in your DHCP, main interface, and Vlan addressing subnet ranges are fairly large. Which is best with a very large amount of users and appliances. Most users will be operating in a smaller environment so keeping those ranges low would be best.

You're right. I actually changed the subnet to /24 on all VLANs. Thank you Justin!

[@user-cx9ri6jm8z]

Hello, Thank you for the great video! I have a question though, I am a beginner into the Cyber Security field and trying to get familiar with VLANs configuration. For port3 you created 3 different VLANs and assigned each of them a different ip address with DHCP on, now let's say you connected an Access Point to port3 and wirless device is connected to the network through this AP, what IP address could this device have? In other words, how to determine which device belongs to which VLAN since all of them are connected to the same port? Thanks again..

I see you configure VLANs on fortigate after the fortigate you have switch? Do you configure trunks between switch and fortigate and how do you do that? Do you also have to configure something in the IPv4 policy if you want traffic from 1 vlan to the other vlan?

In the fortigate firewall one ip need to block the internet remaining ips need to access the internet

[@KBTrainings]

Is this a question...? I don't get it.

[@Amitsoni-jc7cm]

As you shown in your diagram that your fortiget firewall ports will be connected to only a single switch and all the devices like IOT, PCs and server will be connected to that switch.So, how your switch will decide that to which device it has to assign VLA15 or VLAN25 or MAIN subnet. Please explain more means how your port 3 will be used by a single switch. ? Please reply.

did you end configuring a public IP on the Fortigate device? I am a Cisco network enthusiast and learning firewall. Did you end up adding anymore policies on the Fortigate? What's the current setup on the Fortigate today? Are you still double routing?

Hey Tommy, Yes, I configured PPPoE on WAN1 and was able to connect fine. Also added some more policies for internal traffic and so one. Check out my SDWAN video as well as the new FortiGate video.

good morning, one question, we work with the tplink TL-ER6020 router (VPN WAN Dual Gigabit SafeStream Router) but to connect with that router we do not need licenses as they tell us in fortinet that the license is annual; Yes Or if we need that fortinet software to connect to that vpn or we can do it via windows so that the license is free. because we only need vpn.

[@Breakhoven]

Hi, one question. I have my ISP modem 1 connected to the Forti then from forti to 2nd router with WiFi. Can this example VLAN's also work in my Topology? Or do you have any other advice? I also want to seperate IoT devices, Home networkand Work network. My ISP Modem is direct connected to the Forti to WAN 1. SO the 2nd router should be connected to forti with port 1-4 right as AP mode right? With or without DHCP on the 2nd router?

[@HalfboiiHalfmachiine]

Studying for my CCNA, i was trying to figure out why you have separate cables in different vlans running to the switch instead of just one that can just be a trunk then it hit me, was it for load balancing? Or there is a reason why you designed it that way? Would be great hearing from you or anyone reading this to remove my curiosity

[@KBTrainings]

Yep. Multiple links to balance VLANs across many links (trunks). Also the design shows the logical aspect of things, so I had to include all the L3 links.

Hi John, It all depends on how the ISP drops the connection. The FortiGate takes ethernet or PPPoE, you may need to get a device in the middle or not.

Guy, I'm setting my home lab (noobie) up and I want your advice. I will be running a DIY router/firewall with Sophos-XG but I also have a Cisco sg300 28-port POE switch and a couple of Unifi AC Pro APs. When it comes to inter-VLAN routing, would you recommend the "router on a stick" method or Cisco L3 switch to do all VLAN routing? I have a couple of VLANs I want to make for my home Lab and want the best performance. I currently subscribe to ATT Fiber (1gB). Keep rolling out the videos. Thanks!

[@KBTrainings]

I usually Like to do all routing on the firewall. Depending on the capacity and total throughput of your firewall, it may ot may not cause a slight performance decrease, but I still prefer that method.

[@EvanIIRC]

Awesome video! Do you think Fortinet will make it’s way into homes more in the future? I find myself limited with Ubiquiti gear a lot and want something beefier without going all the way to Cisco... seems like a good middle ground. Keep up the awesome work!

[@KBTrainings]

Thank you Evan. Fortinet in home...? 🧐 I don't see it coming per se. But for some of us can, They will probably just focus on businesses, but some odd people, like us will use it in their homes 😀😀. An affordable FortiGate is still a better option than any home router out there, I think.

Hi Jeremy, Yes, this is the C4000. You can get rid of it if you have a router in which you can have PPPoE and tag the WAN port (201 in my case). I use a FortiGate. You can use a cisco router or the UDM Pro. Thanks
