6. Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO)
7. High Availability (HA)
8. Diagnostics

Course Completion

• Analyze a FortiGate route table
• Route packets using policy-based and static routes for multipath 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 devices
• 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 (AD)
• Deploy FortiGate devices as an HA cluster for fault tolerance and high performance
• Diagnose and correct common problems

Course Prerequisites

• Knowledge of OSI layers
