Setup for ISP Failover

  

Scenario: We want to create a network in which if one ISP fails the traffic should go through the   second ISP without our network going down.

VIP (Dynamic IP Pool)

Scenario: Configure the DIP Pool on firewall so that all users behind the firewall will be accessing internet using any IP address in the DIP pool.

VIP (Mapped IP) Configuration

Our aim is to access the server remotely using Static IP mapped to local machine.

Internet Access for specific IP Range

              

Scenario: We have to configure firewall such that only computer with specific IP can access the internet.

Initial Setup of the Fortinet firewall

By default the unit will be in factory settings.

(Note: Local computer should have the same IP range i.e. 192.168.1.x)

The Fortinet Firewall has a predefined IP which is 192.168.1.99 on its internal interface.

We have to connect the ISP cable to the either WAN1 or WAN2 port and the local computers should be connected to the any of the 6 ports on the internal side of the firewall.

Step 1

Then to access the GUI of the Fortinet Firewall we need to put the IP address https://192.168.1.99 in the browser of the explorer

 The above screen will come up.
