Course Objectives

After completing these courses, you will be able to:
• Analyze a FortiGate's route table
• Route packets using policy-based and static routes for multi-path and load balanced deployments
• Configure SD-WAN to load balance traffic between multiple WAN links effectively
• Inspect traffic transparently, forwarding as a Layer 2 device
• Divide FortiGate into two or more virtual devices, each operating as an independent FortiGate, by configuring virtual domains (VDOMs)
• Establish an IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGate appliances

• Compare policy-based to route-based IPsec VPN
• 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
