When: Thursday, November 13th, 2025 
Where: Marriott Palm Springs
Address: 1300 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262

Workshop: SD-Branch: LAN Edge Wired and Wireless

Fortinet secure access architecture, powered by FortiLink, is uniquely suited to SD-Branch deployments, with Ethernet switch and wireless access point management built into the same platform that drives our Secure SD-WAN solution, the FortiGate and FortiOS.

In this workshop, participants learn how enabling FortiLink between FortiSwitch, FortiAP, and a FortiGate integrates the devices into the FortiGate network security platform. Thus, the FortiSwitch and FortiAP can be managed directly from the familiar FortiGate interface. This single-pane-of-glass management provides complete visibility and control of all users and devices on the network, regardless of how they connect.

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
• Implement NAC policies to control the devices and users that have access to their networks
