We have two network Internet and Private network. These two are divide by Router.
Now we are going to setup Fortigate between Private Network and Router.
But we don't touch current configuration of Network as shown below picture.


So, let's start install the Fortigate. But your Fortigate must be working with following task after configureation task done.
- Fortigate must block access from Internet to Private Network.
- Fortigate must allow the user to access Internet from Private Network.
- Fortigate must able to Monitor the usage status of user for better protection.
OK. Let's start.

1) Connect a PC to the FortiGate internal interface. Power on the FortiGate unit and PC.

2) Connect to the FortiGate web-based manager. You can configure the PC to get its IP address using DHCP and then browse to https://192.168.1.99. You could also give the PC a static IP address on the 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 subnet. Log in using admin and no password. (If you are not sure how to log in, please read above guide 1 and guide 2)

3) Go to System > Dashboard > Status > System Information and beside Operation Mode
select Change and configure the following:



4) Select OK to switch to Transparent mode.

5) Log in to the web-based manager by browsing to https://10.31.101.40.
You will need to change the IP address of the PC to an address on the 10.31.101.0/255.255.255.0 subnet.

6) Go to System > Network > DNS and add Primary and Secondary DNS servers.

7) Go to Policy > Policy > Policy and select Create New to add the following security policy
that allows users on the private network to access the Internet.




8) Select UTM. Select Enable Antivirus and select Enable Application Control.

9) Select OK to save the security policy.

10) Power off the FortiGate unit.

11) Connect the FortiGate unit between the network and the router. Connect the wan1 interface to the router internal interface. Connect the internal network to the FortiGate-60C internal interface switch. If the Internal network consists of only five devices, they can all be connected to the internal interface switch. As shown in below picture.



12) Power on the FortiGate unit.

From a PC on the internal network, open a web browser and browse to any Internet website.You should also be able to connect to the Internet.

May you all happy.
(Be knowledgeable, pass it on then)

I would like to explaine how to troubleshoot the Fortigate Unit configured by Transparent Mode in step by step this time. Let's assume, you have one Fortigate Unit that configured as Transparent Mode. But devices from Internal/Private Network unable to access Internet/Public Network through your Fortigate Unit. OK. Let's troubleshoot with following steps, 1) Check the physical network connections between the network and the FortiGate unit, and between the FortiGate unit and the Internet. 2) Check the router and ISP-supplied equipment to make sure it is operating correctly. 3) Verify that you can connect to the internal interface by connecting to the management IP address of the FortiGate unit from the Internal network. From the internal network, attempt to ping the management IP address. If you cannot connect to the internal interface, verify the IP configuration of the PC and make sure the cables are connected and all switches and other devices on the network are powered on a

Below is brief steps to do to meet with my requirements. - Get connected Synology NAS and Cisco Switch as shown in picture. - Bonding two Network Ports of Synology NAS and assign IP Address - Configure EtherChannel with LACP in Cisco Switch and add two physical ports as Member. OK. Let’s begin from Synology NAS. - Login to the Synology and go to Control Panel>Network>Create>Create Bond - Select IEEE 802.3ad to get Fault Tolerance and Load Balancing Featureyou’re your switch not support 802.3ad you can only select Fault Tolerance only feature).
