Fortinet Security Fabric

FortiAnalyzer can recognize a Security Fabric group of devices and display all units in the group on the Device Manager pane. See Adding a Security Fabric group on page 37. FortiAnalyzer supports the Security Fabric by storing and analyzing the logs from the units in a Security Fabric group as if the logs are from a single device. You can also view the logging topology of all units in the Security Fabric group for additional visibility. See Displaying Security Fabric topology on page 38.

FortiAnalyzer provides dynamic data and metadata exchange with the Security Fabric and uses the data in FortiView and Reports for additional visibility. A default report template lets you monitor new users, devices, applications, vulnerabilities, threats and so on from the Security Fabric.

A set of dashboard widgets lets you review audit scores for a FortiGate Security Fabric group with recommended best practices and historical audit scores and trends.

If FortiClient is installed on endpoints for endpoint control with FortiGate, you can use the endpoint telemetry data collected by the Security Fabric agent to display user profile photos in reports and FortiView.

Adding a Security Fabric group

Before you can add a Security Fabric group to FortiAnalyzer, you need to create the Security Fabric group in FortiGate.

Fortinet recommends using a dedicated Super_User administrator account on the FortiGate for FortiAnalyzer access. This ensures that associated log messages are identified as originating from FortiAnalyzer activity. This dedicated Super_User administrator account only needs Read Only access to System Configuration; all other access can be set to None.

To add a Security Fabric group:

Go to Device Manager> Unauthorized Devices.
Select all the devices corresponding to the Security Fabric group created in FortiGate.
Authenticate the Security Fabric group by clicking the Warning icon (yellow triangle) beside the corresponding FortiGate root.
Enter the Authentication Credentials. The authentication credentials are the ones you specified in FortiGate. Once the FortiGate root has been authenticated, the Warning icon will disappear.
After authentication, it takes a few minutes for FortiAnalyzer to automatically populate the devices under the FortiGate root which creates the Security Fabric group.

Displaying Security Fabric topology

For Security Fabric devices, you can display the Security Fabric topology.

To display the Security Fabric topology:

If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
Go to Device Manager and click the Devices Total tab in the quick status bar.
Right-click a Security Fabric device and select Fabric Topology.

A pop-up window displays the Security Fabric topology for that device.

If you selected Fabric Topology by right-clicking a device within the Security Fabric group, the device is highlighted in the topology. If you selected Fabric Topology by right-clicking the name of the Security Fabric group, no device is highlighted in the topology.

Security Fabric traffic log to UTM log correlation

FortiAnalyzer correlates traffic logs to corresponding UTM logs so that it can report sessions/bandwidth together with its UTM threats. Within a single FortiGate, the correlation is performed by grouping logs with the same session IDs, source and destination IP addresses, and source and destination ports.

In a Cooperative Security Fabric (CSF), the traffic log is generated by the ingress FortiGate, while UTM inspection (and subsequent logs) can occur on any of the FortiGates. This means that the traffic logs did not have UTM related log fields, as they would on a single FortiGate. Different CSF members also have different session IDs, and NAT can hide or change the original source and destination IP addresses. Consequently, without a proper UTM reference, the FortiAnalyzer will fail to report UTM threats associated with the traffic.

This feature adds extensions to traffic and UTM logs so that they can be correlated across different FortiGates within the same security fabric. It creates a UTM reference across CSF members and generates the missing UTM related log fields in the traffic logs as if the UTM was inspected on a single FortiGate.

NAT translation is also considered when searching sources and destinations in both traffic and UTM logs. The FortiGate will generate a special traffic log to indicate the NAT IP addresses to the FortiAnalyzer within the CSF.

Traffic logs to DNS and SSH UTM references are also implement – the DNS and SSH counts in Log View can now be clicked on to open the related DNS and SSH UTM log. IPS logs in the UTM reference are processed for both their sources and destinations in the same order, and in the reverse order as the traffic log. The FortiGate log version indicator is expanded and used to make a correct search for related IPS logs for a traffic log.

This feature requires no special configuration. The FortiAnalyzer will check the traffic and UTM logs for all FortiGates that are in the same CSF cluster and create the UTM references between them.

To view the logs:

On the FortiAnalyzer, go to Log View > Traffic.

The UTM security event list, showing all related UTM events that can happen in another CSF member, is shown.

Click the count beside a UTM event to open the related UTM event log window. In this example, the traffic log is from the CSF child FortiGate, and the UTM log is from the CSF root FortiGate.

Like other UTM logs, newly added DNS and SSH UTM references can also be shown in the FortiAnalyzer Log View. Clicking the count next to the DNS or SSH event opens the respective UTM log.

Go to SOC > FortiView > Threats > Top Threats. All threats detected by any CSF member are shown.
The created UTM reference is also transparent to the FortiGate when it gets its logs from the FortiAnalyzer. On the

FortiGate, the traffic log shows UTM events and referred UTM logs from other CSF members, even though the FortiGate does not generate those UTM log fields in its traffic log. In this example, the CSF child FortiGate shows the referred UTM logs from the CSF root FortiGate.

Creating a Security Fabric ADOM

All Fortinet devices included in a Security Fabric can be placed into a Security Fabric ADOM, allowing for fast data processing and log correlation. Fabric ADOMs enable combined results to be presented in the Device Manager, Log View, SOC, Incidents & Events and Reports panes.

In a Fabric ADOM:

Device Manager: View and add all Fortinet devices in the Security Fabric to the Fabric ADOM, including FortiGate, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, FortiDDoS, and FortiClient EMS.
Log View: View logs from all Security Fabric devices.
SOC: FortiDDoS and FortiClient EMS widgets are available.
Incidents & Events: Predefined event handlers for FortiGate, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, and FortiWeb ADOMs are available, and triggered events are displayed for all device types.
Reports: View predefined reports, templates, datasets, and charts for all device types. Charts from all device types can be inserted into a single report.

To create a Fabric ADOM:

In FortiAnalyzer, go to System Settings > All ADOMs.
Select Create New.
Configure the settings for the new Fabric ADOM and select Fabric as the type.

See Creating ADOMs on page 181 for more information on the individual settings.

Select OK to create the ADOM.

The Fabric ADOM is listed under the Security Fabric section of All ADOMs.

Device Manager

Use the Device Manager pane to add, configure, and manage devices and VDOMs.

After you add and authorize a device or VDOM, the FortiAnalyzer unit starts collecting logs from that device or VDOM. You can configure the FortiAnalyzer unit to forward logs to another device. See Log Forwarding on page 190.

ADOMs

You can organize connected devices into ADOMs to better manage the devices. ADOMs can be organized by:

Firmware version: group all 6.0 devices into one ADOM, and all 6.2 devices into another.
Geographic regions: group all devices for a specific geographic region into an ADOM, and devices for a separate region into another ADOM.
Administrator users: group devices into separate ADOMs based for specific administrators responsible for the group of devices.
Customers: group all devices for one customer into an ADOM, and devices for another customer into another ADOM.

FortiAnalyzer, FortiCache, FortiClient, FortiDDos, FortiMail, FortiManager, FortiSandbox, FortiWeb, Chassis, and FortiCarrier devices are automatically placed in their own ADOMs. l Security Fabric: group all devices that are within the Security Fabric.

Each administrator profile can be customized to provide read-only, read/write, or restrict access to various ADOM settings. When creating new administrator accounts, you can restrict which ADOMs the administrator can access, for enhanced control of your administrator users. For more information on ADOM configuration and settings, see Administrative Domains on page 176.

FortiClient EMS devices

You can add FortiClient EMS servers to FortiAnalyzer. Authorized FortiClient EMS servers are added to the default

FortiClient ADOM. You must enable ADOMs to work with FortiClient EMS servers in FortiAnalyzer. When you select the FortiClient ADOM and go to the Device Manager pane, the FortiClient EMS servers are displayed. See also FortiClient support and ADOMs on page 178.

Unauthorized devices

When a device is configured to send logs to FortiAnalyzer, the unauthorized device is displayed in the Device Manager > Devices Unauthorized pane. You can then add devices to specific ADOMs or delete devices by using the toolbar buttons or the right-click menu.

Using FortiManager to manage FortiAnalyzer devices

You can add FortiAnalyzer devices to FortiManager and manage them. When you add a FortiAnalyzer device to FortiManager, FortiManager automatically enables FortiAnalyzer features. FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager must be running the same OS version, at least 5.6 or later.

In the Device Manager pane, a message informs you the device is managed by FortiManager and all changes should be performed on FortiManager to avoid conflict. The top right of this pane displays a lock icon. If ADOMs are enabled, the System Settings > All ADOMs pane displays a lock icon beside the ADOM managed by FortiManager.

Logs are stored on the FortiAnalyzer device, not the FortiManager device. You configure log storage settings on the FortiAnalyzer device; you cannot change log storage settings using FortiManager.

For more information, see Adding FortiAnalyzer devices in the FortiManagerAdministration Guide.

Adding devices

You must add and authorize devices and VDOMs to FortiAnalyzer to enable the device or VDOM to send logs to FortiAnalyzer. Authorized devices are also known as devices that have been promoted to the DVM table.

You must configure devices to send logs to FortiAnalyzer. For example, after you add and authorize a FortiGate device with FortiAnalyzer, you must also configure the FortiGate device to send logs to FortiAnalyzer. In the FortiGate GUI, go to Log & Report > Log Settings, and enable Send Logs to FortiAnalyzer/FortiManager.

Adding devices using the wizard

You can add devices and VDOMs to FortiAnalyzer using the Add Device wizard. When the wizard finishes, the device is added to the FortiAnalyzer unit, authorized, and is ready to start sending logs.

To add devices using the wizard:

If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
Go to Device Manager and click Add Device.

FortiAnalyzer Key Concepts – FortiOS 6.2.3

Leave a reply

FortiAnalyzer Key Concepts

Two operation modes

FortiAnalyzer can run in two operation modes: Analyzer and Collector. Choose the operation mode for your FortiAnalyzer units based on your network topology and requirements.

Analyzer mode

Analyzer mode is the default mode that supports all FortiAnalyzer features. Use this mode to aggregate logs from one or more Collectors.

The following diagram shows an example of deploying FortiAnalyzer in Analyzer mode.

Collector mode

When FortiAnalyzer is in Collector mode, its primary task is forwarding logs of the connected devices to an Analyzer and archiving the logs. Instead of writing logs to the database, the Collector retains logs in their original binary format for uploading. In this mode, most features are disabled.

Analyzer and Collector feature comparison

Feature	Analyzer Mode			Collector Mode
Device Manager	Yes			Yes
FortiView	Yes			No
Feature		Analyzer Mode	Collector Mode
Log View		Yes	Raw archive logs only
Incidents & Events		Yes	No
Monitoring devices		Yes	No
Reporting		Yes	No
System Settings		Yes	Yes
Log Forwarding		Yes	Yes

Analyzer–Collector collaboration

You can deploy Analyzer mode and Collector mode on different FortiAnalyzer units and make the units work together to improve the overall performance of log receiving, analysis, and reporting. The Analyzer offloads the log receiving task to the Collector so that the Analyzer can focus on data analysis and report generation. This maximizes the Collector’s log receiving performance.

For an example of setting up Analyzer–Collector collaboration, see Collectors and Analyzers on page 256.

Administrative domains

Administrative domains (ADOMs) enable the admin administrator to constrain the access privileges of other FortiAnalyzer unit administrators to a subset of devices in the device list. For Fortinet devices with virtual domains (VDOMs), ADOMs can further restrict access to only data from a specific VDOM for a device.

Enabling ADOMs alters the available functions in the GUI and CLI. Access to the functions depends on whether you are logged in as the admin administrator. If you are logged in as the admin administrator, you can access all ADOMs. If you are not logged in as the admin administrator, the settings in your administrator account determines access to ADOMs.

For information on enabling and disabling ADOMs, see Enabling and disabling the ADOM feature on page 179. For information on working with ADOMs, see Administrative Domains on page 176. For information on configuring administrator accounts, see Managing administrator accounts on page 223.

Log storage

Logs and files are stored on the FortiAnalyzer disks. Logs are also temporarily stored in the SQL database.

You can configure data policy and disk utilization settings for devices. These are collectively called log storage settings.

You can configure global log and file storage settings. These apply to all logs and files in the FortiAnalyzer system regardless of log storage settings.

SQL database

FortiAnalyzer supports Structured Query Language (SQL) for logging and reporting. The log data is inserted into the SQL database to support data analysis in SOC > FortiView, Log View, and Reports. Remote SQL databases are not supported.

For more information, see FortiView on page 98, Types of logs collected for each device on page 42, and Reports on page 111.

The log storage settings define how much FortiAnalyzer disk space to use for the SQL database.

When FortiAnalyzer is in Collector mode, the SQL database is disabled by default. If you want to use logs that require SQL when FortiAnalyzer is in Collector mode, you must enable the SQL database. See Two operation modes on page 19.

Analytics and Archive logs

Logs in FortiAnalyzer are in one of the following phases. Use a data policy to control how long to retain Analytics and Archive logs.

l Real-time log: Log entries that have just arrived and have not been added to the SQL database, i.e., have not been rolled. l Analytics logs or historical logs: Indexed in the SQL database and online. l Archive logs: Compressed on hard disks and offline.

In the indexed phase, logs are indexed in the SQL database for a specified length of time for the purpose of analysis.

Logs in the indexed phase in the SQL database are considered online and you can view details about these logs in SOC > FortiView, Log View, and Incidents & Events panes. You can also generate reports about the logs in the Reports pane.

In the compressed phase, logs are compressed and archived in FortiAnalyzer disks for a specified length of time for the purpose of retention. Logs in the compressed phase are considered offline and you cannot immediately view details about these logs in the SOC > FortiView, Log View, and Incidents & Events panes. You also cannot generate reports about the logs in the Reports pane.

Data policy and automatic deletion

Use a data policy to control how long to keep compressed and indexed logs. When ADOMs are enabled, you can specify settings for each ADOM and the settings apply to all devices in that ADOM. When ADOMs are disabled, settings apply to all managed devices.

A data policy specifies:

How long to keep Analytics logs indexed in the database

When the specified length of time in the data policy expires, logs are automatically purged from the database but remain compressed in a log file on the FortiAnalyzer disks.

How long to keep Archive logs on the FortiAnalyzer disks

When the specified length of time in the data policy expires, Archive logs are deleted from the FortiAnalyzer disks.

See also Log storage information on page 57.

Disk utilization for Archive and Analytic logs

You can specify how much of the total available FortiAnalyzer disk space to use for log storage. You can specify what ratio of the allotted storage space to use for logs that are indexed in the SQL database and for logs that are stored in a compressed format on the FortiAnalyzer disks. Then you can monitor how quickly device logs are filling up the allotted disk space.

Analytic logs indexed in the SQL database require more disk space than Archive logs (purged from the SQL database but remain compressed on the FortiAnalyzer disks). An average indexed log is 400 bytes and an average compressed log is 50 bytes. Keep this difference in mind when specifying the storage ratio for Analytics and Archive logs.

When ADOMs are enabled, you can specify settings for each ADOM and the settings apply to all devices in that ADOM. When ADOMs are disabled, settings apply to all managed devices. See Log storage information on page 57.

SOC dashboard

FortiAnalyzer provides dashboard for Security Operations Center (SOC) administrators. SOC includes monitors which enhance visualization for real-time activities and historical trends for analysts to effectively monitor network activities and security alerts. See SOC Monitoring on page 87.

In high capacity environments, the SOC module can be disabled to improve performance. See Enabling and disabling SOC on page 109.

To connect to the GUI:

Connect the FortiAnalyzer unit to a management computer using an Ethernet cable.
Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface of the FortiAnalyzer unit:

l IP address: 192.168.1.X l Netmask: 255.255.255.0

On the management computer, start a supported web browser and browse to https://192.168.1.99.
Type admin in the Name field, leave the Password field blank, and click Login. The Change Password dialog box is displayed.
Change the default password now, or click Later to change the password later:
1. In the New Password box, type a new password.
2. In the Confirm Password box, type the new password again, and click OK.
If ADOMs are enabled, the Select an ADOM pane is displayed. Click an ADOM to select it. The FortiAnalyzer home page is displayed.
Click a tile to go to that pane. For example, click the Device Manager tile to go to the Device Manager See also GUI overview on page 12.

If the network interfaces have been configured differently during installation, the URL and/or permitted administrative access protocols (such as HTTPS) may no longer be in their default state.

For information on enabling administrative access protocols and configuring IP addresses, see Configuring network interfaces on page 167.

After logging in for the first time, you should create an administrator account for yourself and assign the Super_User profile to it. Then you should log into the FortiAnalyzer unit by using the new administrator account. See Managing administrator accounts on page 223 for information.

Security considerations

You can take steps to prevent unauthorized access and restrict access to the GUI. This section includes the following information:

l Restricting GUI access by trusted host on page 11 l Other security considerations on page 11

Restricting GUI access by trusted host

To prevent unauthorized access to the GUI you can configure administrator accounts with trusted hosts. With trusted hosts configured, the administrator user can only log into the GUI when working on a computer with the trusted host as defined in the administrator account. You can configure up to ten trusted hosts per administrator account. See Administrators on page 222 for more details.

Other security considerations

Other security consideration for restricting access to the FortiAnalyzer GUI include the following:

l Configure administrator accounts using a complex passphrase for local accounts l Configure administrator accounts using RADIUS, LDAP, TACACS+, or PKI l Configure the administrator profile to only allow read/write permission as required and restrict access using readonly or no permission to settings which are not applicable to that administrator l Configure the administrator account to only allow access to specific ADOMs as required

When setting up FortiAnalyzer for the first time or after a factory reset, the password cannot be left blank. You are required to set a password when the admin user tries to log in to FortiManager from GUI or CLI for the first time. This is applicable to a hardware device as well as a VM. This is to ensure that administrators do not forget to set a password when setting up FortiAnalyzer for the first time.

After the initial setup, you can set a blank password from System Settings > Administrators.

GUI overview

When you log into the FortiAnalyzer GUI, the following home page of tiles is displayed:

Select one of the following tiles to display the respective pane. The available tiles vary depending on the privileges of the current user.

Device Manager	Add and manage devices and VDOMs. See Device Manager on page 24.
Fabric View	Configure fabric connectors. See Fabric View on page 32.
SOC	Summarizes SOC information in FortiView and Monitors dashboards, which include widgets displaying log data in graphical formats, network security, WiFi security, and system performance in real-time. This pane is not available when the unit is in Collector mode.
Log View	View logs for managed devices. You can display, download, import, and delete logs on this page. You can also define custom views and create log groups. See Log View and Log Quota Management on page 42.
Incidents & Events	Configure and view events for logging devices. See Incident and Event Management on page 61. This pane is not available when the unit is in Collector mode.
Reports	Generate reports. You can also configure report templates, schedules, and output profiles, and manage charts and datasets. See Reports on page 111. This pane is not available when the unit is in Collector mode.
FortiRecorder		Manage FortiCamera devices and view camera streams and recordings through the Monitors dashboard. This pane is only available in physical appliances and is disabled by default. See FortiRecorder on page 143 This pane is not available when the unit is in Collector mode.
System Settings		Configure system settings such as network interfaces, administrators, system time, server settings, and others. You can also perform maintenance and firmware operations. See System Settings on page 154.

The top-right corner of the home page includes a variety of possible selections:

ADOM	If ADOMs are enabled, the required ADOM can be selected from the dropdown list. The ADOMs available from the ADOM menu will vary depending on the privileges of the current user.
Full Screen	Click to view only the content pane in the browser window. See Full-screen mode on page 15.

CLI Console	Click the CLI Console icon on the right side of the banner on any page. The CLI console is a terminal window that enables you to configure the FortiAnalyzer unit using CLI commands directly from the GUI, without making a separate SSH, or local console connection to access the CLI. When using the CLI console, you are logged in with the same administrator account that you used to access the GUI. You can enter commands by typing them, or you can copy and paste commands into or out of the console. Click Detach in the CLI Console toolbar to open the console in a separate window. Note: The CLI Console requires that your web browser support JavaScript.
Notification	Click to display a list of notifications. Select a notification from the list to take action on the issue.
admin	Click to change the password or log out of the GUI.

Panes

In general, panes have four primary parts: the banner, toolbar, tree menu, and content pane.

Banner	Along the top of the page; includes the home button (Fortinet logo), tile menu, ADOM menu (when enabled), admin menu, notifications, help button, and CLI console button.
Tree menu	On the left side of the screen; includes the menus for the selected pane. Not available in Device Manager.
Content pane		Contains widgets, lists, configuration options, or other information, depending on the pane, menu, or options that are selected. Most management tasks are handled in the content pane.
Toolbar		Directly above the content pane; includes options for managing content in the content pane, such as Create New and Delete.

To switch between panes, either select the home button to return to the home page, or select the tile menu then select a new tile.

Color themes

You can choose a color theme for the FortiAnalyzer GUI. For example, you can choose a color, such as blue or plum, or you can choose an image, such as summer or autumn. See Global administration settings on page 243.

Full-screen mode

You can view several panes in full-screen mode. When a pane is in full-screen mode, the tree menu on the left side of the screen is hidden.

Click the Full Screen button in the toolbar to enter full-screen mode, and press the Esc key on your keyboard to exit fullscreen mode.

Switching between ADOMs

When ADOMs are enabled, you can move between ADOMs by selecting an ADOM from the ADOM menu in the banner.

ADOM access is controlled by administrator accounts and the profile assigned to the administrator account. Depending on your account privileges, you might not have access to all ADOMs. See Managing administrator accounts on page 223 for more information.

Using the right-click menu

Options are sometimes available using the right-click menu. Right-click an item in the content pane, or within some of the tree menus, to display the menu that includes various options similar to those available in the toolbar.

In the following example on the Reports pane, you can right-click a template, and select Create New, View, Clone, or Create Report.

Avatars

When FortiClient sends logs to FortiAnalyzer, an avatar for each user can be displayed in the Source column in the

SOC > FortiView and Log View panes. FortiAnalyzer can display an avatar when the following requirements are met:

l FortiClient is managed by FortiGate or FortiClient EMS with logging to FortiAnalyzer enabled. l FortiClient sends logs and a picture of each user to FortiAnalyzer.

If FortiAnalyzer cannot find the defined picture, a generic, gray avatar is displayed.

Showing and hiding passwords

In some cases you can show and hide passwords by using the toggle icon. When you can view the password, the Toggle show password icon is displayed:

When you can hide the password, the Toggle hide password icon is displayed:

Target audience and access level

This guide is intended for administrators with full privileges, who can access all panes in the FortiAnalyzer GUI, including the System Settings pane.

In FortiAnalyzer, administrator privileges are controlled by administrator profiles. Administrators who are assigned profiles with limited privileges might be unable to view some panes in the GUI and might be unable to perform some tasks described in this guide. For more information about administrator profiles, see Administrator profiles on page 228.

If you logged in by using the admin administrator account, you have the Super_User administrator profile, which is assigned to the admin account by default and gives the admin administrator full privileges.

Initial setup

This topic provides an overview of the tasks that you need to do to get your FortiAnalyzer unit up and running.

To set up FortiAnalyzer:

Connect to the GUI. See Connecting to the GUI on page 10.
Configure the RAID level, if the FortiAnalyzer unit supports RAID. See Configuring the RAID level on page 174.
Configure network settings. See Configuring network interfaces on page 167.

Once the IP address of the administrative port of FortiAnalyzer is changed, you will lose connection to FortiAnalyzer. You will have to reconfigure the IP address of the management computer to connect again to FortiAnalyzer and continue.

(Optional) Configure administrative domains. See Managing ADOMs on page 180.
Configure administrator accounts. See Managing administrator accounts on page 223.
Add devices to the FortiAnalyzer unit so that the devices can send logs to the FortiAnalyzer unit. See Adding devices on page 25.
Configure the operation mode. See Configuring the operation mode on page 161 and Two operation modes on page 19.

FortiManager features

FortiManager features are not available in FortiAnalyzer 6.2.0 and up.

For information about FortiManager, see the FortiManagerAdministration Guide.

If FortiManager features are enabled in FortiAnalyzer before upgrading to 6.2.0 and later, the existing feature configurations will continue to be available after the upgrade. FortiManager features carried over during an upgrade can be disabled through the CLI console.

Next steps

Now that you have set up your FortiAnalyzer units and they have started receiving logs from the devices, you can start monitoring and interpreting data. You can:

View log messages collected by the FortiAnalyzer unit in Log View. See Types of logs collected for each device on page 42.
View multiple panes of network activity in SOC (Security Operations Center). See SOC Monitoring on page 87.
View summaries of threats, traffic, and more in SOC > FortiView. See FortiView on page 98 l Generate and view events in Incidents & Events. See Incident and Event Management on page 61. l Generate and view reports in Reports. See Reports on page 111.

573568	For FortiGate Azure HA, change public IP and routing table entries allocated in different resource groups. In an Azure HA scenario, EIP and route tables failover are specified in the SDN connector configuration. A new attribute, resource-group, was added, which allows a user to specifying the resource group that an EIP or route table is from. This new attribute can be empty so upgrade code is not required. If the resource-group of an EIP or route table is not provided, it is assumed the resource comes from the same resource group setting in the SDN connector (if there is no setting, it assumes the same resource group as the FortiGate itself by getting it from the instance metadata). CLI changes:

Device detection changes

In FortiOS 6.0.x, the device detection feature contains multiple sub-components, which are independent:

Visibility – Detected information is available for topology visibility and logging.
FortiClient endpoint compliance – Information learned from FortiClient can be used to enforce compliance of those endpoints.
Mac-address-based device policies – Detected devices can be defined as custom devices, and then used in devicebased policies.

In 6.2, these functionalities have changed:

Visibility – Configuration of the feature remains the same as FortiOS 6.0, including FortiClient information. l FortiClient endpoint compliance – A new fabric connector replaces this, and aligns it with all other endpoint connectors for dynamic policies. For more information, see Dynamic Policy – FortiClient EMS (Connector) in the FortiOS 6.2.0 New Features Guide.
MAC-address-based policies – A new address type is introduced (MAC address range), which can be used in regular policies. The previous device policy feature can be achieved by manually defining MAC addresses, and then adding them to regular policy table in 6.2. For more information, see MAC Addressed-Based Policies in the FortiOS 6.2.0 New Features Guide.

If you were using device policies in 6.0.x, you will need to migrate these policies to the regular policy table manually after upgrade. After upgrading to 6.2.0:

Create MAC-based firewall addresses for each device.
Apply the addresses to regular IPv4 policy table.

In 6.4.0, device detection related GUI functionality has been relocated:

The device section has moved from User& Authentication (formerly User& Device) to a widget in Dashboard.
The email collection monitor page has moved from Monitor to a widget in Dashboard.

FortiClient Endpoint Telemetry license

Starting with FortiOS 6.2.0, the FortiClient Endpoint Telemetry license is deprecated. The FortiClient Compliance profile under the Security Profiles menu has been removed as has the Enforce FortiClient Compliance Check option under each interface configuration page. Endpoints running FortiClient 6.2.0 now register only with FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and compliance is accomplished through the use of Compliance Verification Rules configured on FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and enforced through the use of firewall policies. As a result, there are two upgrade scenarios:

Customers using only a FortiGate device in FortiOS 6.0 to enforce compliance must install FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and purchase a FortiClient Security Fabric Agent License for their FortiClient EMS installation.
Customers using both a FortiGate device in FortiOS 6.0 and FortiClient EMS running 6.0 for compliance enforcement, must upgrade the FortiGate device to FortiOS 6.2.0, FortiClient to 6.2.0, and FortiClient EMS to 6.2.0.

The FortiClient 6.2.0 for MS Windows standard installer and zip package containing FortiClient.msi and language transforms and the FortiClient 6.2.0 for macOS standard installer are included with FortiClient EMS 6.2.0.

Fortinet Security Fabric upgrade

FortiOS 6.4.0 greatly increases the interoperability between other Fortinet products. This includes:

FortiAnalyzer 6.4.0 build 1992 l FortiClient EMS 6.4.0 build 1393 l FortiClient 6.4.0 build 1440 l FortiAP 5.6.5 and later l FortiSwitch 3.6.11 and later

Upgrade the firmware of each product in the correct order. This maintains network connectivity without the need to use manual steps.

If Security Fabric is enabled, then all FortiGate devices must be upgraded to 6.4.0. When Security Fabric is enabled in FortiOS 6.4.0, all FortiGate devices must be running FortiOS 6.4.0.

Minimum version of TLS services automatically changed

For improved security, FortiOS 6.4.0 uses the ssl-min-proto-version option (under config system global) to control the minimum SSL protocol version used in communication between FortiGate and third-party SSL and TLS services.

When you upgrade to FortiOS 6.4.0 and later, the default ssl-min-proto-version option is TLS v1.2. The following SSL and TLS services inherit global settings to use TLS v1.2 as the default. You can override these settings.

Email server (config system email-server) l Certificate (config vpn certificate setting) l FortiSandbox (config system fortisandbox)
FortiGuard (config log fortiguard setting) l FortiAnalyzer (config log fortianalyzer setting) l LDAP server (config user ldap) l POP3 server (config user pop3)

Downgrading to previous firmware versions

Downgrading to previous firmware versions results in configuration loss on all models. Only the following settings are retained:

operation mode l interface IP/management IP l static route table l DNS settings l admin user account l session helpers l system access profiles

Amazon AWS enhanced networking compatibility issue

With this enhancement, there is a compatibility issue with 5.6.2 and older AWS VM versions. After downgrading a 6.4.0 image to a 5.6.2 or older version, network connectivity is lost. Since AWS does not provide console access, you cannot recover the downgraded image.

When downgrading from 6.4.0 to 5.6.2 or older versions, running the enhanced NIC driver is not allowed. The following AWS instances are affected:

C5d

C5n

I3en

Inf1 m4.16xlarge

M5a

M5ad M5d

M5dn

M5n

R5a

R5ad R5d

R5dn

R5n

T3a

u-6tb1.metal u-9tb1.metal u-12tb1.metal u-18tb1.metal u-24tb1.metal

X1 X1e z1d

A workaround is to stop the instance, change the type to a non-ENA driver NIC type, and continue with downgrading.

FortiLink access-profile setting

The new FortiLink local-access profile controls access to the physical interface of a FortiSwitch that is managed by FortiGate.

After upgrading FortiGate to 6.4.0, the interface allowaccess configuration on all managed FortiSwitches are overwritten by the default FortiGate local-access profile. You must manually add your protocols to the localaccess profile after upgrading to 6.4.0.

To configure local-access profile:

config switch-controller security-policy local-access edit [Policy Name] set mgmt-allowaccess https ping ssh set internal-allowaccess https ping ssh

end

To apply local-access profile to managed FortiSwitch:

config switch-controller managed-switch edit [FortiSwitch Serial Number] set switch-profile [Policy Name] set access-profile [Policy Name]

end

FortiGate VM with V-license

This version allows FortiGate VM with V-License to enable split-vdom.

To enable split-vdom:

config system global set vdom-mode [no-vdom | split vdom]

end

The MD5 checksums for all Fortinet software and firmware releases are available at the Customer Service & Support portal, https://support.fortinet.com. After logging in select Download > Firmware Image Checksums, enter the image file name including the extension, and select Get Checksum Code.

FortiGuard update-server-location setting

The FortiGuard update-server-location default setting is different between hardware platforms and VMs. On hardware platforms, the default is any. On VMs, the default is usa.

On VMs, after upgrading from 5.6.3 or earlier to 5.6.4 or later (including 6.0.0 or later), update-server-location is set to usa.

If necessary, set update-server-location to use the nearest or low-latency FDS servers.

To set FortiGuard update-server-location:

config system fortiguard set update-server-location [usa|any] end

FortiView widgets

FortiView widgets have been rewritten in 6.4.0. The FortiView page has been removed and merged in the Top standalone dashboards in the GUI by default.

WanOpt configuration changes in 6.4.0

Port configuration is now done in the profile protocol options. HTTPS configurations need to have certificate inspection configured in the firewall policy.

In FortiOS 6.4.0, set ssl-ssh-profile certificate-inspection must be added in the firewall policy:

config firewall policy edit 1 select srcintf FGT_A:NET_CLIENT select dstintf FGT_A:WAN select srcaddr all select dstaddr all set action accept set schedule always select service ALL set inspection-mode proxy

set ssl-ssh-profile certificate-inspection

set wanopt enable set wanopt-detection off set wanopt-profile “http” set wanopt-peer FGT_D:HOSTID

end

Downgrading from 6.4.0 to 6.2.3

The FortiGate may fail to boot up when downgrading from FortiOS 6.4.0 to 6.2.3.

IPsec interface MTU value

IPsec interfaces may calculate a different MTU value after upgrading from 6.2.

This change might cause an OSPF neighbor to not be established after upgrading. The workaround is to set mtuignore to enable on the OSPF interface’s configuration:

config router ospf config ospf-interface edit “ipsce-vpnx” set mtu-ignore enable next

end end

Update FortiDeceptor firmware

A best practice is to stay current on patch releases for your current major release. Only update to a new major release or version when you are looking for specific functionality in the new major release or version. For more information, see the FortiDeceptorRelease Notes or contact Technical Support.

Before any firmware update, complete the following:

Download the FortiDeceptor firmware image and Release Notes document from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support Review the Release Notes, including the special notices, upgrade information, product integration and support, and resolved and known issues.
Back up your configuration file. It is highly recommended that you create a system backup file and save it to your management computer. You can also schedule the system to back up system configurations to a remote server.
Plan a maintenance window for the firmware update. If possible, consider setting up a test environment to check that the update does not negatively impact your network.

To update the FortiDeceptor firmware:

Go to Dashboard > System Information > Firmware Version.
In the System Information widget beside Firmware Version, click Update or UPDATE AVAILABLE.
Click Choose File and locate the firmware image on your management computer; then click Submit to start the upgrade.

Alternatively, in the AVAILABLE FIRMWARE pane Install column, click the download icon beside the firmware release you want. The system upgrades and restarts automatically.

When the update is complete, test your FortiDeceptor device to ensure that the update was successful.

Reboot or shut down the unit

To avoid potential configuration or hardware problems, always use the GUI or CLI to reboot or shut down FortiDeceptor.

To reboot the FortiDeceptor unit:

Go to Dashboard > System Resources.
Click Reboot.
Enter a reason for the reboot in the Reason
Click OK.

After reboot, the FortiDeceptor VM initialization might about 30 minutes. The Decoy VM icon in the System Information widget shows a warning sign until the process completes.

When FortiDeceptor boots or reboots, the following critical event log message is normal:

The VM system is not running and might need more time to startup. Please check system logs formore details. If needed, please reboot system.

After upgrading FortiDeceptor to a new firmware version, the system might clean up data and a Database is not ready message displays. The clean up time depends on the size of historical data.

To shut down the FortiDeceptor unit:

Go to Dashboard > System Resources.
Click Shutdown.
Enter a reason for the shutdown in the Reason
Click OK.

Back up or restore the system configuration
