FortiSwitch integration with FortiGate
FORTISWITCH BECOMES A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF FORTIGATE

 First
» A special connection is used
(FORTILINK)
» Specific protocols (CAPWAP,
API, NTP, LLDP) and
information are exchanged
between FG and FSW
(heartbeats, config, monitor,
user data)

11
FortiSwitch integration with FortiGate
FORTISWITCH BECOMES A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF FORTIGATE

 Then
» VLANs are defined
» VLANs are assigned to ports
» Other configurations for
switches are centralized in FG
(Like 802.1X, etc..) that can be
applied to ports
» Monitoring allows port status
inspection, PoE, VLANs
assigned, etc..

12
Integrated Security
It is our mission

13

FORTISWITCH BECOMES A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF FORTIGATE

 Then
» Configured VLANs are
becoming FW interfaces in FG
» FG Security Polices can be
applied to protect traffic as
pleased

14
Workflow Automation Automation

System Threat External Adjust


Notification Reports
Events Alerts Inputs Configuration

TRIGGERS AUTOMATED WORKFLOW ACTIONS

Automated workflows using triggers to deliver appropriate actions

15
Automated response to compromised devices
TAKING RESPONSE TIME OUT OF THE EQUATION

 How it works
» A devices is detected as
compromised by one element of
the fabric
» Switches and APs can
automatically quarantine the
device at the access layer

 Why it’s important


» Compromised IoT devices are no
longer a threat to the wider
network
» Guest devices (if infected) will be
dealt with automatically

16
Full Visibility and Security Control

17
Simplified Management
Because you need it…

18
Simplified Management
KEY POINTS

 Zero touch provisioning


» No configuration is needed on FSW

 Stacking
» Offers single ip address management (FG’s Management IP Address)
» Stacking Links are created automatically (no need to configure them)

 Topology integration, device monitoring


» All information you need to monitor

19
Stacking
FGT is single IP for management

MCLAG or
STP running
in the inter-
switch links

Each inter-switch link is formed


automatically

Each FSW is a separate unit
