1:30- 4:00 PM Session SD-Branch: LAN Edge Wired and Wireless (Secure Networking)

Enterprise networking and security teams are struggling with evolving their WAN and branch office IT architecture to support digital transformation. A typical branch office consists of multiple point products, creating both security and complexity challenges. IT teams are looking to consolidate these point products to increase agility and save money, while improving the security and visibility of network access at the branch office.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

• Create a FortiLink interface
• Authorize FortiSwitch and FortiAP devices
• Create VLANs and policies
• Create SSIDs
• Configure radio frequency (RF) parameters
• Assign firewall policies to FortiGate interfaces

What do I need to participate in this Fast Track workshop? 

All you will need to bring is a laptop with Wi-Fi support, along with a mouse, and power cable. Although not required, others have found that using a separate smartphone or tablet device to reference the lab instructions can be helpful to make your lab experience more productive
