Configuring other networking devices

In this example there are two groups of other devices on the the network — internal devices, and the ISP.

The first is the internal network devices on the Sales, R&D, and Accounting networks. This includes simple static routers, computers, printers and other network devices. Once the FortiGate units are configured, the internal static routers need to be configured using the internal network IP addresses. Otherwise there should be no configuration required.

The second group of devices is the ISP. This consists of the RIP router the FortiGate routers 2 and 3 connect to. You need to contact your ISP and ensure they have your information for your network such as the IP addresses of the connecting RIP routers, what version of RIP your network supports, and what authentication (if any) is used.

 

Testing network configuration

Once the network has been configured, you need to test that it works as expected.

The two series of tests you need to run are to test the internal networks can communicate with each other, and that the internal networks can reach the Internet.

Use ping, traceroute, and other networking tools to run these tests.
