Exercise 1: Configuring Route Failover

In the lab network, Local-FortiGate has two interfaces connected to the Internet: port1 and port2. During this
exercise, you will configure the port1 connection as the primary Internet link, and the port2 connection as the
backup Internet link. Local-FortiGate should use the port2 connection only if the port1 connection is down. To
achieve this objective, you will configure two default routes with different administrative distances, as well as
configure two link health monitors.

Verify the Routing Configuration

First, you'll verify the existing routing configuration on Local-FortiGate.

Take the Expert Challenge!


On the Local-FortiGate GUI (10.0.1.254 | admin/password), complete the following:

l View the existing static route configuration on Local-FortiGate.


l Enable the Distance and Priority columns in the static route configuration page.
l Make note of the Distance and Priority values of the existing default route.
If you require assistance, or to verify your work, use the step-by-step instructions that follow.

After you complete the challenge, see Configure a Second Default Route on page 19.

To verify the routing configuration


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open a browser and log in to the Local-FortiGate GUI at 10.0.1.254 with the user
name admin and password password.
2. Click Network > Static Routes.
3. Verify the existing default route for port1.

4. Right-click any of the columns to open the context-sensitive menu.


5. In the Available Columns section, select Distance and Priority, and then click Apply.

Note that, by default, static routes have a Distance value of 10, and a Priority value of 0.

Configure a Second Default Route

You will create a second default route using the port2 interface. To make sure this second default route remains
inactive, you will assign it a higher distance.

Take the Expert Challenge!


l On Local-FortiGate GUI, configure a second default route using port2.
l Assign it a Distance of 20, and Priority of 5.
If you require assistance, or to verify your work, use the step-by-step instructions that follow.

Stop and think!
Why is the port2 default route inactive?

The port2 default route has a higher administrative distance than the port1 default route. When two or
more routes to the same destination have different distances, the lower distance route is always active.

6. Leave the PuTTY session open.

Configure Link Health Monitors

You will configure two link health monitors to monitor the status of both the port1 and port2 routes.

To configure link health monitoring


1. Continuing on the LOCAL-FORTIGATE PuTTY session, enter the following CLI commands to create a link
health monitor for port1 on Local-FortiGate.
config system link-monitor
edit port1-monitor
set srcintf port1
set server 4.2.2.1
set gateway-ip 10.200.1.254
set protocol ping     
set update-static-route enable
next

2. Configure another link health monitor for port2.


edit port2-monitor
set srcintf port2
set server 4.2.2.2
set gateway-ip 10.200.2.254
set protocol ping     
set update-static-route enable
end

3. Leave your PuTTY session open.

Test the route failover

First you will access various websites, and use the Forward Traffic logs to verify that port1 route is being used.
Next you will force a failover by reconfiguring the port1 link health monitor to ping an invalid IP address. You will
then generate some more traffic, and use the Forward Traffic logs to verify that the port2 route is being used.

To confirm port1 route is primary


1. Return to the browser tab where you are logged into the Local-FortiGate GUI, and click Log & Report > Forward
Traffic.
2. Right-click any of the columns to open the context-sensitive menu.

This verifies that the port1 route is currently active and in use.

To force the failover


1. Return to the open LOCAL-FORTIGATE PuTTY session, and enter the following CLI commands to modify the
port1 link monitor:
config system link-monitor
edit port1-monitor
set server 10.200.1.13
next
end

2. Wait a few seconds.


Since 10.200.1.13 is a non-existent host in the lab network, the link health monitor will not receive any
replies. Because of this, the link health monitor will assume that the port1 Internet connection is down, and
remove the corresponding route from the routing table.

3. Leave your PuTTY session open.

To verify the route change


1. Return to the browser tab where you are logged into the Local-FortiGate GUI, and click Log & Report > System
Events.
Verify that Local-FortiGate detected the link monitor failure and removed the corresponding port1 route.

2. Click Monitor > Routing Monitor.


3. Verify that the port2 route is active in the routing table.

Exercise 2: Equal Cost Multipath and Policy Routing

In this exercise, you'll configure equal cost multipath (ECMP) routing on Local-FortiGate to balance the Internet
traffic between port1 and port2. After that, you'll configure a policy route to route HTTPS traffic through port1
only.

Configure Administrative Distance

To establish ECMP, first you will configure multiple static routes with the same administrative distance.

Take the Expert Challenge!


On the Local-FortiGate GUI (10.0.1.254 | admin/password), complete the following:

l Change the port2 static route administrative Distance to 10.


l Verify that both port1 and port2 default routes are active in the routing table.
If you require assistance, or to verify your work, use the step-by-step instructions that follow.

After you complete the challenge, see Change the ECMP Load Balancing Method on page 29.

To verify the routing table
1. Continuing on the Local-FortiGate GUI, click Monitor > Routing Monitor.
2. Verify that both default routes are now active:

Change the ECMP Load Balancing Method

By default, the ECMP load balancing method is based on source IP. This works well when there are multiple
clients generating traffic. In the lab network, because you have only one client (Local-Windows), the source IP
method will not balance any traffic to the second route. Only one route will always be used. For this reason, you
will change the load balancing method to use both source and destination IP. Using this method, as long as the
traffic goes to multiple destination IP addresses, FortiGate will balance the traffic across both routes.

To modify the ECMP load balancing method


1. Continuing on the Local-Windows VM, open PuTTY and connect over SSH to the LOCAL-FORTIGATE saved
session.
2. At the login prompt, enter the user name admin and password password.
3. Enter the following CLI commands to change the ECMP load-balancing method.
config system settings
set v4-ecmp-mode source-dest-ip-based
end

4. Leave the PuTTY session open.

Traffic.
3. Identify the Destination Interface in the relevant log entries for the websites you accessed.

Why are all the outgoing packets still being routed through port1?

Stop and think!


The port2 route is not being used because it was configured with a higher priority value than the port1
route (see Configure a Second Default Route on page 19). When two routes to the same destination have
the same administrative distance, both remain active. However, if the priorities are different, the route with
the lowest priority value is used. So, to achieve ECMP with static routes, the distance and priority values
must be the same for both routes.

Configure Priority

You will change the priority value for the port2 route to match the port1 route.

The SYN packets are egressing both port1 and port2. This verifies that Local-FortiGate is now load
balancing all Internet traffic across both routes.

4. Leave the PuTTY session open.

Configure Policy Route for HTTPS Traffic

You will force all HTTPS traffic to egress through port1 using a policy route. All other traffic should remain
unaffected and balanced between port1 and port2. To implement this, you will configure a policy route.

After you enable VDOMs , the structure of the GUI menu and the tree structure of the CLI changes. In this
exercise, you will examine the differences in the CLI for VDOMs.

To execute per-VDOM CLI commands


1. Continuing on the Local-Windows VM, open PuTTY and connect over SSH to the LOCAL-FORTIGATE saved
session.
2. At the login prompt, enter the user name admin and password password.
3. Try to execute the following command to list the routing table.
get router info routing-table all

Did the CLI reject the command? To execute this command when VDOMs are
enabled, you must specify the VDOM first, in order for FortiGate to know which
VDOM’s routing table to display.

4. To enter the customer VDOM context, type.

config vdom
edit customer

Be careful when typing VDOM names with the edit command.

VDOM names are case sensitive, and the edit command can both modify and create
VDOM. For example, if you enter edit Root, you will not enter the pre-existing
root VDOM. Instead, you will create and enter a new VDOM named Root.

5. Now that you've specified the VDOM, try looking at the routing table again.

get router info routing-table all

The command works now. The information displayed in the routing table is specific to the customer VDOM.
Remember that each VDOM has its own routing table.

Exercise 1: Transparent Mode VDOM

The configuration file for this exercise already has VDOMs enabled. In this exercise, you need to create only a
transparent mode VDOM called inspect and then move the interface to the inspect VDOM.

Create a Transparent Mode VDOM

You will create a new VDOM, and then change its operation mode to transparent.

To create a transparent mode VDOM


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open a browser and log in to the Local-FortiGate GUI at 10.0.1.254 with the user
name admin and password password.
The configuration that you restored at the beginning of this lab has VDOMs enabled. For this reason, you will
see a drop-down menu at the top of the menu. It provides access to the global settings and to each VDOM-
specific setting.

2. In the drop-down menu, select Global.


3. Click System > VDOM, and then click Create New.
4. Configure the following settings:

end

Stop and think!


What is that 10.200.1.200 IP address for?

It is the management IP address for the transparent mode VDOM. Interfaces that belong to a transparent
mode VDOM do not have IP addresses, but the VDOM itself has one. You can use this IP address for
administrative access to the device and this VDOM.

9. Close the PuTTY session.

Moving an Interface to a Different VDOM

You will move the interface port1 to the inspect VDOM.

Test the Transparent Mode VDOM

You will use the traceroute command to confirm that Internet traffic is crossing the inter-VDOM link. Then, you
will try to download a virus to confirm that antivirus inspection in the inspect VDOM is working.

To test the transparent mode VDOM


1. Continuing on the Local-Windows VM, open a command prompt window.
2. Run the following traceroute to verify that your first two hops are 10.0.1.254 and 10.200.1.254.

tracert –d 10.200.3.1

Stop and think!


You will observe that the first hop IP address is 10.0.1.254, which is port3 in the root VDOM. The
second hop IP address is 10.200.1.254, which is the Linux server. Why isn't the traceroute showing any
IP address belonging to the inspect VDOM?

A transparent VDOM does not route packets like a NAT VDOM. Instead, it forwards frames based on the
destination MAC addresses as a LAN Layer 2 switch. A traceroute shows the IP addresses of all the routers
along a path to a destination. The inspect VDOM is not acting as a router, but as a Layer 2 switch.

Stop and think!


Why did the IPsec wizard add a second route using the blackhole interface?

FortiGate drops all packets routed to the blackhole interface. The IPsec wizard added two static routes: one
to the IPsec virtual interface, with a distance of 10 and one to the blackhole interface, with a distance of
254. The route with the lowest distance, the one to the IPsec virtual interface, takes precedence. However,
if the VPN is down, the route to the blackhole interface becomes active,even though it was originally the
higher-distance route. So, traffic destined to the VPN is now routed to the blackhole interface and dropped.
The route to the blackhole interface prevents FortiGate from sending VPN traffic to the default route while
the VPN is down. The route to the blackhole interface also prevents FortiGate from creating unnecessary
sessions in the session table.

Stop and think!
In the previous exercise, the VPN wizard added a static route for the VPN traffic. Why don't you need to add
a static route in this case?

The VPN wizard creates the IPsec using a route-based configuration, which always requires additional
routes (usually static routes) to route the traffic through the IPsec virtual interface. This is usually not
required in a policy-based configuration. Policy-based configurations require the VPN traffic to match a
firewall policy with the action IPsec. Because traffic from 10.0.2.0/24 to 10.0.1.0/24 matches the
existing default route, and so the IPsec firewall policy from port6 to port4, no additional routes are needed.

2. Click Monitor > IPsec Monitor.
Notice that the VPN is currently down.

3. Right-click the VPN, and then select Bring Up.

The Status column of the VPN contains a green up arrow, indicating that the tunnel is up.

Stop and think!


Do I always have to bring up the tunnel manually after creating it?

No. In the current configuration, the tunnel will stay down until you either bring it up manually, or there is
traffic that should be routed through the tunnel. Because you are not generating traffic between
10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 yet, the tunnel is still down. If you had generated the required traffic
while the tunnel was down, it would have come up automatically.

4. On the Local-Windows VM, open a command prompt window, and then run the following command to ping
Remote-Windows:
ping 10.0.2.10

The ping should work.

Exercise 1: Configuring FSSO Collector Agent-Based
Polling Mode

To configure FortiGate to identify users by polling their logon events using a Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO)
agent, you must install and configure a collector agent.

The following FSSO agents are available on the Fortinet Support website
(http://support.fortinet.com):

l DC agent
l Collector agent for Microsoft servers: FSSO_Setup
l Collector agent for Novell directories: FSSO_Setup_edirectoryController agent for
Citrix servers: TSAgent_Setup

Then, you will configure your FortiGate to communicate and poll information from the FSSO collector agent. For
this, you must assign the polled user to a firewall user group and add the user group as a source on a firewall
policy.

Finally, you can verify the user logon event collected by FortiGate. This event is generated after a user logs on to
the Windows Active Directory domain. Therefore, no firewall authentication is required.

Install the FSSO Collector Agent

In this section, you will install the FSSO collector agent on a Windows server.

To install the FSSO collector agent on a Windows server


1. On the desktop of the Local-Windows VM, click Resources > FortiGate-Infrastructure > FSSO.
2. Right-click FSSO_Setup_5.0.0261_x64, and then select Run as administrator.

9. Alternatively, you can run the following command on the console of any FortiGate in the cluster, to view the
checksums of all cluster members:

diagnose sys ha checksum cluster

Verify FortiGate Roles in a HA Cluster

After the checksums of both FortiGate devices match, you will verify the cluster member roles to confirm the
primary and secondary devices.

To verify FortiGate roles in an HA cluster


1. From the VM List, View VM, on both the Local-FortiGate console and the Remote-FortiGate console, run the
following command to verify that the HA cluster has been established:

In this configuration, the FortiGate device that is named Local-FortiGate is the master
in the HA cluster because override is disabled and monitored ports are not configured.
Next, the cluster checks for priority—Local-FortiGate, which has a priority of 200, has
greater priority than Remote-FortiGate, which has a priority of 100.

View Session Statistics

Now, you will view session statistics.

To view session statistics


1. Return to the Local-Windows VM, and open few web browser tabs and connect to a few websites. For example:

l www.yahoo.com
l www.bbc.com
2. Return to the Local-FortiGate console and the Remote-FortiGate console, and run the following command on
each:
get system session status

The primary FortiGate will have more sessions than the secondary FortiGate. This is
because all management traffic is with the primary; all non-TCP traffic is also handled
by the primary. By default, only TCP sessions that require a security profiles inspection
are load balanced between the primary and secondary FortiGate devices.

Exercise 2: High Availability Failover

You have set up an HA cluster. Now, you will trigger an HA failover and observe the renegotiation among devices
to elect a new primary device and redistribute the sessions.

Trigger Failover by Rebooting the Primary FortiGate

You will reboot the primary FortiGate in the cluster to trigger failover.

Take the Expert Challenge!


1. On the Local-FortiGate GUI (10.0.1.254 | admin/password), complete the following:
l Play a long video on http://www.dailymotion.com.
l Run a continuous ping to IP address 4.2.2.2.
2. On the Local-FortiGate console (admin/password), reboot Local-FortiGate.
If you require assistance, or to verify your work, use the step-by-step instructions that follow.

After you have performed these steps, seeVerify the HA Failover and FortiGate Roles on page 117.

To trigger failover by rebooting the primary FortiGate


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open a web browser and go to the following URL:

Now, you will verify the HA failover, and check the roles of FortiGate in an HA cluster.

To verify the HA failover and FortiGate roles


1. Return to the Local-Windows VM and check the command prompt and video that you started earlier.
Because of the failover, the Remote-FortiGate device is now the primary processor of traffic. Your ping and
video should still be running.

2. To verify that Remote-FortiGate is acting as the primary device in the HA cluster, on the Remote-FortiGate
console, run the following command:

get system status

Stop and think!


When Local-FortiGate finishes rebooting and rejoins the cluster, does it rejoin as the secondary, or resume
its initial role of primary?

3. To see the status of all cluster members, run the following command on any FortiGate in the cluster:

diagnose sys ha status

You should see that Local-FortiGate rejoins the cluster as a secondary. It has lost its role of primary:

In this configuration, the FortiGate device named Local-FortiGate becomes the


secondary in the HA cluster because override is disabled and monitored ports are not
configured. Next, the cluster checks for uptime. Because Local-FortiGate was
rebooted, it has less uptime than Remote-FortiGate.

Trigger an HA Failover by Resetting the HA Uptime

Now, you will trigger a failover by resetting the HA uptime on the current primary FortiGate—which should be
Remote-FortiGate—and verifying FortiGate's role in the HA cluster.

To trigger an HA failover by resetting the HA uptime on FortiGate


1. On the Remote-FortiGate console, run the following command:

diagnose sys ha reset-uptime

By resetting the HA uptime, you are forcing the cluster to use the next parameter to
determine which FortiGate has more priority for becoming the primary. As per the
configuration, Local-FortiGate has a priority of 200, and Remote-FortiGate has a
priority of 100. Local-FortiGate will become the primary device in the cluster.

2. Remote-FortiGate now has the backup role in the cluster. On the Remote-FortiGate console, run the following
command to verify it:

get system status

Observe HA Failover Using Diagnostic Commands

The HA synchronization process is responsible for FGCP packets that communicate cluster status and build the
cluster. You will use real-time diagnostic commands to observe this process.

To observe HA failover using diagnostic commands


1. On the Local-FortiGate console,log in as admin and password password.
2. Run the following commands.

diagnose debug enable


diagnose debug application hasync 0
diagnose debug application hasync 255

The diagnose debug application hasync 0 command is used to stop the


debug. You will use this entered command later.

3. On the Remote-FortiGate console, run the following command to reboot the Remote-FortiGate:

Exercise 3: Configuring the HA Management Interface

In this exercise, you will configure a spare interface in the cluster to be a nonsynchronizing management
interface. This will allow both FortiGate devices to be reachable only for SNMP and management purposes.

If a management interface is not configured, you will have access to the GUI of only the primary FortiGate in the
cluster. However, you can connect to the secondary FortiGate only through the primary FortiGate's CLI or through
the console connection.

You can also configure an in-band HA management interface, which is an alternative to the reserved HA
management interface feature and does not require reserving an interface that is only for management access.

Access the Secondary FortiGate through the Primary FortiGate CLI

You will connect to the secondary FortiGate through the CLI of the primary FortiGate.

To access the secondary FortiGate through the primary FortiGate CLI


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open PuTTY and connect over SSH to the LOCAL-FORTIGATE saved session.
2. At the login prompt, enter the user name admin and password password.
3. Type the following command to access the secondary FortiGate CLI through the primary FortiGate’s HA link:
execute ha manage <id>

Use ? to list the id values.

Exercise 2: Troubleshooting a Connectivity Problem

During this exercise, you will use the sniffer and debug flow to troubleshoot a network connectivity problem.

Identify the Problem

As you will see in this procedure, there is a network connectivity problem between the Local-Windows VM and the
Linux server.

To identify the problem


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open a command prompt window.
2. Start a continuous ping to the Linux server (IP address 10.200.1.254):

ping -t 10.200.1.254

The ping is failing. You will use the sniffer and debug flow tools in Local-FortiGate to find out why.

3. Do not close the command prompt window. Keep the ping running.

Use the Sniffer

Take the Expert Challenge!


Now that you understand what the problem is, try to fix it without looking at the FortiGate configuration.
Use the built-in sniffer and debug flow tools to troubleshoot the problem.

If you require assistance, or to verify your work, use the step-by-step instructions that follow.

After you complete the challenge, see Test the Fix on page 145.

You will start troubleshooting by sniffing the ICMP traffic going to the Linux server.

To use the sniffer


1. On the Local-Windows VM, open PuTTY and connect over SSH to the LOCAL-FORTIGATE saved session.
2. At the login prompt, enter the user name admin and password password.
3. Enter the following command to sniffer the ICMP traffic to 10.200.1.254:

diagnose sniffer packet any "icmp and host 10.200.1.254" 4

4. Observe the output:


interfaces=[any]

15.444343 port3 in 10.0.1.10 -> 10.200.1.254: icmp: echo request
20.545397 port3 in 10.0.1.10 -> 10.200.1.254: icmp: echo request

The packets are arriving to FortiGate, but FortiGate is not routing them.

5. Press Ctrl-C to stop the sniffer.

Use the Debug Flow Tool

To get information about why the packets are being dropped, you will run the debug flow tool.

To use the debug flow tool


1. Continuing on the Local-FortiGate PuTTY session, enter the commands below. You will configure the debug flow
filter to capture all ICMP traffic to and from the IP address 10.200.1.254:

diagnose debug flow filter clear


diagnose debug flow filter proto 1
diagnose debug flow filter addr 10.200.1.254
diagnose debug enable
diagnose debug flow trace start 3

Output should be similar to what is shown below. The FortiGate receives the ICMP packet from 10.0.1.10
to 10.200.1.254 from port3:
id=20085 trace_id=1 func=print_pkt_detail line=5363 msg="vd-root received a packet
(proto=1, 10.0.1.10:1->10.200.1.254:2048) from port3. type=8, code=0, id=1,
seq=33."

It creates a new session:


id=20085 trace_id=1 func=init_ip_session_common line=5519 msg="allocate a new session-
00000340"

It finds a route for the destination 10.200.1.254, through port1:


id=20085 trace_id=1 func=vf_ip_route_input_common line=2583 msg="find a route:
flag=04000000 gw-10.200.1.254 via port1"

It drops the packet. The debug flow shows the error message:
id=20085 trace_id=1 func=fw_forward_handler line=586 msg="Denied by forward policy
check (policy 0)"

The message Denied by forward policy check indicates that the traffic is denied by a firewall
policy. It could be either a denied policy explicitly configured by the administrator, or the implicit denied policy
for traffic that does not match any configured policy.

The policy 0 indicates that the traffic was denied by the default implicit policy. If the traffic were blocked
by an explicitly configured policy, its policy ID number would be indicated in this output, instead of the
number zero.

Fix the Problem

Now that we have found the cause of the problem, let's fix it.

To fix the problem


1. Continuing on the Local-Windows VM, open a browser and log in to the Local-FortiGate GUI at 10.0.1.254
with the user name admin and password password.
2. Click Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy.
3. Look at the firewall policies.
The Full_Access filewall policy does not allow ICMP traffic (only HTTP). This is why FortiGate is dropping
the ping packets.

4. Edit the Full_Access firewall policy.


5. Change the service from HTTP to ALL.
6. Click OK.

Test the Fix

You will test to confirm that the configuration change fixed the problem.

To test the fix


1. Continuing on the Local-Windows VM, check the command prompt window to see if the continuous ping is
working now.
2. Stop the ping by pressing Ctrl-C, but leave the command prompt open.
3. Return to the Local-FortiGate PuTTY session where you are running debug commands, and clear all the ICMP
sessions from the session table:

diagnose sys session filter clear


diagnose sys session filter proto 1
diagnose sys session clear

4. Start the debug flow again:

diagnose debug flow filter clear


diagnose debug flow filter proto 1
diagnose debug flow filter addr 10.200.1.254
diagnose debug enable
diagnose debug flow trace start 3

There should not be any output yet, because the ping is not running.

5. Return to the command prompt window, and start the ping again:

ping -t 10.200.1.254

6. Check the debug flow output.


It is a bit different now. The error message is not displayed and you will see a few new logs.

Traffic is allowed by the firewall policy with the ID 1:
id=20085 trace_id=4 func=fw_forward_handler line=737 msg="Allowed by Policy-1: SNAT"

FortiGate applies source NAT (SNAT):


id=20085 trace_id=4 func=__ip_session_run_tuple line=3164 msg="SNAT 10.0.1.10-
>10.200.1.1:62464"

Additionally, you will see the debug flow logs from the return (ping reply) packets:
id=20085 trace_id=5 func=print_pkt_detail line=5363 msg="vd-root received a packet
(proto=1, 10.200.1.254:62464->10.200.1.1:0) from port1. type=0, code=0, id=62464,
seq=83."
id=20085 trace_id=5 func=resolve_ip_tuple_fast line=5438 msg="Find an existing session,
id-000003f2, reply direction"
id=20085 trace_id=5 func=__ip_session_run_tuple line=3178 msg="DNAT 10.200.1.1:0-
>10.0.1.10:1"
id=20085 trace_id=5 func=vf_ip_route_input_common line=2583 msg="find a route:
flag=04000000 gw-10.0.1.10 via port3"

The procedure in this exercise describes what you should usually do when
troubleshooting connectivity problems on a FortiGate. Sniffer the traffic first, to check
that the packets are arriving to FortiGate, and that FortiGate is properly routing them.
If the sniffer shows that the traffic is being dropped by FortiGate, use the debug flow
tool to find out why.
