Course Overview
In this course, you will learn how to use the most common FortiGate networking and infrastructure features.
Topics include features commonly applied in a complex or larger enterprise or MSSP networks, such as advanced routing, redundant infrastructure, virtual domains (VDOMs), zero trust network access (ZTNA), SSL VPN, site-to-site IPsec VPN, single sign-on (SSO), and 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
- Divide FortiGate into two or more virtual devices, each operating as an independent FortiGate, by configuring virtual domains (VDOMs)
- Understand the fundamentals and benefits of using ZTNA
- Offer an SSL VPN for secure access to your private network
- Establish an IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGate devices
- Implement a meshed or partially redundant VPN
- 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
- Diagnose and correct common problems
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
Target Audiance
- Networking and security professionals involved in the design, implementation, and administration of a network infrastructure using FortiGate devices should attend this course.
- This course assumes knowledge of basic FortiGate fundamentals. You should have a thorough understanding of all the topics covered in the FortiGate Security course before attending the FortiGate Infrastructure course.
