FortiGate Infrastructure – NSE 4

In this two-day course, you will learn how to use advanced FortiGate networking and security. Topics include features commonly applied in a complex or larger enterprise or MSSP networks, such as advanced routing, transparent mode, redundant infrastructure, site-to-site IPsec VPN, single sign-on (SSO), web proxy, and diagnostics.

Formats

• Instructor-led classroom
• Instructor-led online

Agenda

1. Routing
2. Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)
3. Virtual Domains
4. Layer 2 Switching
5. Site-to-Site IPsec VPN
6. Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO)
7. High Availability (HA)
8. Web Proxy
9. Diagnostics

Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Analyze a FortiGate route table
• Route packets using policy-based and static routes for multipath and load-balanced deployments
• Configure SD-WAN to load balance traffic between multiple WAN links effectively
• Inspect traffic transparently, forwarding as a Layer 2 device
• Divide FortiGate into two or more virtual devices, each operating as an independent FortiGate, by configuring virtual domains (VDOMs)
• Establish an IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGate devices
• Compare policy-based to route-based IPsec VPN
• Implement a meshed or partially redundant VPN
• l Diagnose failed IKE exchanges
• Offer Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO) access to network services, integrated with Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
• Deploy FortiGate devices as an HA cluster for fault tolerance and high performance FortiGate Infrastructure

Course Description

• Deploy implicit and explicit proxy with firewall policies, authentication, and caching
• Diagnose and correct common problems

Who Should Attend

Networking and security professionals involved in the design, implementation, and administration of a network infrastructure using FortiGate appliances. This course assumes knowledge of basic FortiGate fundamentals. Participants should have a thorough understanding of all the topics covered in the FortiGate Security course before attending the FortiGate Infrastructure course.

Prerequisites

• Knowledge of OSI layers
• Knowledge of firewall concepts in an IPv4 network
• Knowledge of the fundamentals of FortiGate, as presented in the FortiGate Security course
