You Should Know:
1. Configuring FortiGate as a DHCP Server:
config system dhcp server edit 1 set interface "internal" set lease-time 86400 set default-gateway 192.168.1.1 set netmask 255.255.255.0 set dns-service default set domain "example.com" config ip-range edit 1 set start-ip 192.168.1.100 set end-ip 192.168.1.200 next end next end
2. Static Route Configuration:
config router static edit 1 set gateway 192.168.1.1 set device "port1" next end
3. ECMP Configuration:
config system interface edit "wan1" set mode dhcp set allowaccess ping set role wan next edit "wan2" set mode dhcp set allowaccess ping set role wan next end config router static edit 1 set dst 0.0.0.0/0 set gateway 192.168.1.1 set priority 10 set device "wan1" next edit 2 set dst 0.0.0.0/0 set gateway 192.168.2.1 set priority 10 set device "wan2" next end
4. Route Lookup Tool:
diagnose ip route list
5. Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF):
config system interface edit "internal" set rpf enable next end
6. Routing Monitor:
diagnose ip route list
7. ECMP Load Balancing Algorithms:
config system settings set ecmp-max-paths 4 end
What Undercode Say:
Configuring FortiGate as a DHCP server and managing IP routing are essential skills for network administrators. The provided commands and configurations offer a practical approach to setting up and managing these services. By understanding and implementing these configurations, you can ensure efficient network operations and robust security. Additionally, mastering ECMP and static routing can significantly enhance network performance and reliability. Always verify your configurations and monitor your network to ensure optimal performance.
