- Short description of the workshop and the interest of attending. Highlight the importance/benefits of attending this fantastic workshop
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 or via the FortiManager. 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
- manage FortiSwitch and FortiAP with FortiManager
All of the topics listed above are performed directly through the FortiGate interface to one set of FortiSwitch and FortiAP, as well as to multiple FortiSwitch and FortiAP devices via the central management of FortiManager.
