Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web browser), ping to your FortiGate unit to see if the connection between the computer and the FortiGate unit is working properly.

To connect to the web-based manager 1 Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address automatically using the DHCP. The FortiGate DHCP server assigns the management computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. 2 3 Using the crossover cable or the Ethernet hub and cables, connect the internal interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection. Start Internet Explorer and browse to the address https://192.168.1.99. (remember to include the s in https://). To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiGate unit ships with a self-signed security certificate, and is offered to remote clients whenever they initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiGate unit. When you connect, the FortiGate unit displays two security warnings in the browser. The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate units self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login page appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the FortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is not displayed again. Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs you that the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request. This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

Factory defaults
The FortiGate unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default configuration enables 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, if required, configure basic routing. 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. Once you complete the network configuration, 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. 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.
Table 5: Factory default firewall configuration Configuration setting Name Firewall policy Firewall address Pre-defined service All More than 50 predefined services Always Strict, Scan, Web, Unfiltered Description Firewall address matches the source or destination address of any packet. Select from any of the 50 pre-defined services to control traffic through the FortiGate unit that uses that service. The recurring schedule is valid at any time. Control how the FortiGate unit applies virus scanning, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS.

Internal -> External Source: All Destination: All

Recurring schedule Protection Profiles

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 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

By 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.

Planning the FortiGate configuration

Configuring the FortiGate unit


This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit. Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode. This section includes the following topics: Planning the FortiGate configuration Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding to ping requests NAT/Route mode installation Transparent mode installation Next Steps

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 you select. You can configure the FortiGate unit 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.

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:

Planning the FortiGate configuration

Configuring the FortiGate unit

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).
Note: 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. Figure 4: FortiGate-60 NAT/Route mode network configuration

10.10.10.2

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) Modem is the redundant interface to the external network for the FortiGate-60 series DMZ is the redundant interface to the external network on the FortiGate-100A Internal is the interface to the internal network

You must configure routing to support redundant Internet connections. Routing can automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to the external network fails. The security policy configuration is similar to a NAT/Route mode configuration with a single Internet connection. Create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network and the external, public network.

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 need to configure a management IP address to 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. You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between these network segments.

Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding to ping requests


The factory default configuration of your FortiGate unit allows the default public interface to respond to ping requests. The default public interface is also called the default external interface, and is the interface of the FortiGate unit that is usually connected to the Internet. For the most secure operation, you should change the configuration of the external interface so that it does not respond to ping requests. Not responding to ping requests makes it more difficult for a potential attacker to detect your FortiGate unit from the Internet. Depending on the FortiGate unit, the default public interface can be the external or WAN1 interface. A FortiGate unit responds to ping requests if ping administrative access is enabled for that interface. You can use the following procedures to disable ping access for the external interface of a FortiGate unit. You can use the same procedure for any FortiGate interface in both NAT/Route or Transparent mode. To disable ping administrative access from the web-based manager 1 2 3 4 5 Log into the FortiGate web-based manager. Go to System > Network > Interface. Choose the external interface and select Edit. Clear the Ping Administrative Access check box. Select OK to save the changes.

DHCP or PPPoE configuration


You can configure any FortiGate interface to acquire its IP address from a DHCP or PPPoE server. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may provide IP addresses using one of these protocols. To use the FortiGate DHCP server, you need to configure an IP address range and default route for the server. No configuration information is required for interfaces that are configured to use DHCP. PPPoE requires you to supply a user name and password. In addition, PPPoE unnumbered configurations require you to supply an IP address. Use Table 9 to record the information you require for your PPPoE configuration.

Configuring the modem interface


60 Series

The modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60 series only excluding the FortiGate-60ADSL.

The following section will cover how to configure the FortiGate-60M using the web-based manager. To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 modem, use the CLI. The FortiGate-60 series includes support for a redundant or stand alone modem 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 stand alone 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 dial-up accounts until the modem connects to an ISP. This section includes the following topics: Selecting a modem mode Configuring modem settings Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Stand alone mode Configuring the modem for the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 Adding a Ping Server Adding firewall policies for modem connections

Selecting a modem mode


The modem interface can work in one of two modes: redundant mode stand alone mode

Redundant mode configuration


The redundant modem interface serves as a backup to the Ethernet interface. If that Ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically dials the configured dial-up account(s). When the modem connects to a dial-up 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.

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. To configure a redundant modem connection for the FortiGate-60M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Go to System > Network > Modem. Select Enable modem. Select Redundant for the mode. From the Redundant for list, select the Ethernet interface you want the modem to back up. Configure other modem settings as required. Configuring modem settings on page 51. Configure a ping server for the Ethernet interface selected in step 4. See Adding a Ping Server on page 56. Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface. See Adding firewall policies for modem connections on page 57. To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 through the CLI 1 2 Log into the CLI. Enter the following to configure a redundant modem: config system modem set status enable set status mode redundant end

Stand alone mode configuration


In stand alone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dial-up 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 dial-up account. If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiGate unit modem automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up account. In stand alone mode the modem interface replaces the external Ethernet interface. 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.

The ADSL modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60ADSL unit only.

This section describes how to configure the ADSL interface on a FortiGate-60ADSL. It describes the differences between ADSL and other FortiGate interface configuration procedures. For more detailed information refer to the FortiGate Administration Guide. The FortiGate-60ADSL unit contains an Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) interface. This provides much higher communication speeds than standard telephone modems.
Note: The ADSL interface will only function when using the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode. Changing to Transparent mode will disable the ADSL interface.

Configuring the ADSL interface using the web-based manager


You configure the ADSL interface like any other FortiGate physical network interface. The information that you provide depends on the addressing mode required by your ISP. Static addressing using IPOA or EOA only requires an IP address and netmask. If you are using dynamic addressing, you need to configure the interface as described in Configuring DHCP on the ADSL interface on page 60 or Configuring PPPoE or PPPoA on the ADSL interface on page 61. To configure the ADSL interface 1 2 3 Go to System > Network > Interface. Select Create New or select the Edit icon of an existing interface. In the Addressing mode section, select IPoA or EoA.

Using a wireless network


This chapter is specifically for the FortiWiFi-60/60M and FortiWiFi-60B units. In all cases, where FortiWiFi-60 is mentioned, it applies to all FortiWiFi units.
WiFi60

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 which affect the transmission of data on the air that you must take into account when setting up a wireless network. This section outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you can take to make your wireless network as efficient as possible. This section includes the following topics: Setting up a wireless network Wireless Security Wireless 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 do not receive 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 the signal strength.

Radio Frequency interface


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 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices can interfere with packet transmissions on 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.

Using a wireless network

Setting up a wireless network

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 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 13 shows how positioning two FortiWiFi-60 APs within a uniquely shaped office space helps to distribute signals around the area.
Figure 13: Using multiple APs to provide a constant strong signal.

Stairs

Elevator

Washrooms

This sample office has washrooms, a 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. 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, and 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 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. WPA provides a more robust security between the wireless device and the access point. The FortiWiFi-60 units support both WPA methods.

Wireless operation modes

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 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 models 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. To disable SSID 1 2 3 4 Go to System > Wireless > Settings. Select the wlan interface. Clear the SSID Broadcast check box. Select OK.

Wireless operation modes


The FortiWiFi-60 models each have two modes of operation for wireless networking: Access Point and Client.

Access Point mode


When using the FortiWiFi 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 to the network without the need to connect to it physically. The FortiWiFi-60 can connect to the internal network and act as a firewall to the Internet. Access Point mode is the default mode.

Client 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 four 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.

FortiGate Firmware

Restoring the previous configuration


Change the internal interface address, if required. You can do this from the CLI using the following command: config system interface edit internal set ip <address_ipv4mask> set allowaccess {ping https ssh telnet http} end After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the web-based manager and restore the configuration. For more information, see the FortiGate Administration Guide If you are reverting to a previous firmware version (for example, reverting from FortiOS v3.0 to FortiOS v2.80), you might not be able to restore your previous configuration from the backup up configuration file.

The FortiUSB key


The FortiUSB key provides flexibility and control when backing up and restoring configuration files. The FortiUSB key also enables you to have a single, secure location for storing configuration files. Use the FortiUSB key with the USB Auto-Install feature, automatically installing a configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The USB Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that is on the FortiUSB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to be installed. If so, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware image file directly from the key to the unit.
Note: The FortiUSB key is purchased separately. The FortiGate unit only supports the FortiUSB key available from Fortinet.

Backup and Restore from the FortiUSB key


Use the FortiUSB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file. You should always make sure the FortiUSB key is properly install before proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.
Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the configuration file. However, an encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB Auto-Install feature.

To backup configuration using the web-based manager 1 2 3 4 Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore. Select USB Disk from the backup configuration to list. Enter a filename for the configuration file. Select Backup.
