Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of powering Ethernet capable devices
using CAT5 Ethernet cable to carry both data and power to a device, eliminating
the need for a standard power source.
The FortiWiFi-50B includes the availability for PoE through the WAN1 port. The
FortiWiFi-50B supports the IEEE 802.3af standard as a Powered Device (PD)
using CAT5 Ethernet cable.
This enables you to place the FortiWiFi-50B in locations where connecting to a
standard power source is inconvenient or impractical.
Caution: Attach a grounding cable to the Ground input in the FortiWiFi-50B and connect to
!
a grounding source to avoid potential damage to the device in the event of a power surge.

(remember to include the “s” in https://).
To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiGate unit ships with a
self-signed security certificate, which is offered to remote clients whenever they
initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiGate unit. When you connect, the
FortiGate unit displays two security warnings in the browser.
The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate unit’s
self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate
unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login page
appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the
FortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is
not displayed again.
Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs you
that the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request.
This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is
an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

Factory defaults
The FortiGate unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration enables you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based
manager to configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the
FortiGate unit, you add an administrator password, change network interface IP
addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and, if required, configure basic
routing.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiGate unit onto the network.
Once you complete the network configuration, you can perform additional
configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack
definition updates, and registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address
translation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to
the external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to
the internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of
the network traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.
You can use the factory default protection profiles to apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network
traffic that is controlled by firewall policies.

configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies
configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies
enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services
enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies
By using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be
applied to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types
and levels of protection for different firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need
strict protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate
protection. You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use
the same or different protection profiles.
You can add Protection profiles to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode
firewall policies. The FortiGate unit includes four protection profiles.
Strict
To apply maximum protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP
traffic. You may not use the strict protection profile under normal
circumstances but it is available if you have problems with viruses and
require maximum screening.
Scan
Web
To apply antivirus scanning and file quarantining to HTTP, FTP, IMAP,
POP3, and SMTP content traffic.
To apply antivirus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP content
traffic. You can add this protection profile to firewall policies that control
HTTP traffic.
Unfiltered
To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use if you do not want to apply
content protection to content traffic. You can add this protection profile to
firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure
networks where content does not need to be protected.

Planning the FortiGate configuration
Configuring the FortiGate unit
This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit.
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to
integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the
operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode.
This section includes the following topics:

Planning the FortiGate configuration
Before you configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit
into the network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the unit
to be visible to the network, which firewall functions you want it to provide, and
how you want it to control the traffic flowing between its interfaces.
Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select. You can also
configure the FortiGate unit and the network it protects using the default settings.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all
its interfaces are on different subnets. The following interfaces are available in
NAT/Route mode:

You can add firewall policies to control whether communications through the
FortiGate unit operating in NAT or Route mode. Firewall policies control the flow
of traffic based on the source address, destination address, and service of each
packet. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation
before it sends the packet to the destination network. In Route mode, there is no
address translation.

Planning the FortiGate configuration
Configuring the FortiGate unit
You typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is operating as a
gateway between private and public networks. In this configuration, you create
NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private
network and the external, public network (usually the Internet).

connections to the external network (usually the Internet).
For example, you could create the following configuration:
•
•
•
External or WAN1 is the default interface to the external network (usually the
Internet)
Modem is the redundant interface to the external network for the
FortiGate-50A
WAN2 is the redundant interface to the external network on the FortiGate-50B
and FortiWiFi-50B.
•
•
DMZ is the redundant interface to the external network on the FortiGate-100
Internal is the interface to the internal network
You must configure routing to support redundant Internet connections. Routing
can automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to the
external network fails.
Otherwise, security policy configuration is similar to a NAT/Route mode
configuration with a single Internet connection. You would create NAT mode
firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network and
the external, public network (usually the Internet).

Configuring the FortiGate unit
Preventing the public interface from responding to ping requests
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a
network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only
have to configure a management IP address so that you can make configuration
changes. The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack
definition updates.
You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network
behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall
functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web content filtering, and Spam
filtering.

Preventing the public interface from responding to ping
requests
The factory default configuration of your FortiGate unit allows the default public
interface to respond to ping requests. The default public interface is also called
the default external interface, and is the interface of the FortiGate unit that is
usually connected to the Internet.
For the most secure operation, you should change the configuration of the
external interface so that it does not respond to ping requests. Not responding to
ping requests makes it more difficult for a potential attacker to detect your
FortiGate unit from the Internet.
A FortiGate unit responds to ping requests if ping administrative access is
enabled for that interface. You can use the following procedures to disable ping
access for the external interface of a FortiGate unit. You can use the same
procedure for any FortiGate interface. You can also use the same procedure in
NAT/Route or Transparent mode.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures
Configure the FortiGate unit to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution Network
(FDN) to update the antivirus (including grayware), antispam and IPS attack
definitions.
The FDN is a world wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). When
the FortiGate unit connects to the FDN, it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this,
all FortiGate units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest
time zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiGate unit.
You can update your antivirus and IPS signatures using the web-based manager
or the CLI. Before you can begin receiving updates, you must register your
FortiGate unit from the Fortinet web page.
Note: Update AV and IPS signatures on a regular basis. If you do not update AV and IPS
signatures regularly, the FortiGate unit can become vulnerable to new viruses.
After registering your FortiGate unit, verify the FortiGate unit can connect to the
FDN:

Configuring the modem interface
The modem interface is only available on the FortiGate-50A.
50A
The following sections will cover how to configure the FortiGate-50A modem
using the CLI.
The FortiGate-50A supports a redundant or stand alone 56K modem interface in
NAT/Route mode.
•
In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a
selected Ethernet interface when that Ethernet interface is unavailable.
•
In stand alone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate
unit to the Internet.
When connecting to an ISP in either configuration, the modem can automatically
dial up to three dial-up accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
This section includes the following topics:

Connecting a modem to the FortiGate-50A
The FortiGate-50A can operate with most standard external serial interface
modems that support standard Hayes AT commands. To connect, install a
USB-to-serial converter between one of the two USB ports on the FortiGate unit
and the serial port on the modem. The FortiGate unit does not support a direct
USB connection between the two devices.

Selecting a modem mode
The modem interface can work in one of two modes:
•
•
redundant mode
stand alone mode
Redundant mode configuration
The redundant modem interface serves as a backup to the Ethernet interface. If
that Ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically
dials the configured dial-up account(s). When the modem connects to a dial-up
account, the FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected
Ethernet interface to the modem interface. During this time, the unit pings the
Ethernet connection to check when it is back online.
When the Ethernet interface can connect to its network again, the FortiGate unit
disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the Ethernet interface.
For the FortiGate unit to switch from an Ethernet interface to the modem you must
select the name of the interface in the modem configuration and configure a ping
server for that interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections
between the modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
Stand alone mode configuration
In stand alone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dial-up account. The
modem interface operates as the primary connection to the Internet. The
FortiGate unit routes traffic through the modem interface, which remains
permanently connected to the dial-up account.
If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiGate unit modem
automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on
the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up
account.

Using a wireless network
Setting up a wireless network
Using a wireless network
This chapter is specifically for the FortiWiFi-50B.
WiFi-50B
In a wired network, computers are connected through a series of cables that
transfer information. In a wireless network, information is transferred over radio
waves. There are factors which affect the transmission of data “on the air” that you
must take into account when setting up a wireless network.
This section outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you can
take to make your wireless network as efficient as possible.
This section includes the following topics:
•
•
•
•
Setting up a wireless network
In its simplest form, a wireless network is an Access Point communicating with
one wireless device. An Access Point (AP) is a device that provides a
communications hub for a wireless network. The AP and the wireless devices
operate on a common radio channel. The FortiWiFi-50B acts as an AP and
assigns all wireless users to the same subnet. With the proper firewall policies
and routing, wireless users can communicate with users on the internal network or
on an external network such as the Internet.

Positioning an Access Point
When placing the FortiWiFi-50B AP, your main concern is providing a strong
signal to all users. A strong signal ensures a fast connection and the efficient
transfer of data. A weaker signal means a greater chance of data transmission
errors and the need to re-send information, slowing down data transfer.
Consider the following guidelines when placing the FortiWiFi-50B AP:
•
Physical barriers can impede the radio signals. Solid objects such as walls,
furniture and people absorb radio waves, weakening the signal. Be aware of
the physical barriers in your office space that may reduce a signal. If there is
enough physical interference, you may encounter dead spots that receive no
signals.
•
•
Ensure the FortiWiFi-50B AP is located in a prominent location within a room
for maximum coverage, rather than in a corner.
Construction materials used in a building can also weaken radio signals.
Rooms with walls of concrete or metal can affect the signal strength.
Radio Frequency interface
The 802.11 standard uses a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. Radio
frequency (RF) interference occurs when other devices send RF signals during
their normal operation that use the same frequency as the FortiWiFi-50B AP.
Wireless devices such as 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens and
Bluetooth devices can interfere with packet transmissions on a wireless network.

Using a wireless network
Setting up a wireless network
To avoid RF interference:
•
Remove these devices from the immediate area where users are working.
Something as simple as a Bluetooth enabled mouse may cause transmission
interruptions.
•
•
•
Keep the FortiWiFi-50B AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away from
appliances such as microwave ovens and cordless phones.
If you must have a cordless phone, select one that does not use the 2.4GHz
frequency range.
Consider more FortiWiFi-50B APs to help strengthen the signal. The weaker
the signal, the slower the transmission will be as it tries to compete against
other wireless devices.
•
Set a channel that users and FortiWiFi-50B APs will specifically use can
improve signal quality.
Using multiple access points
If you cannot avoid some of these impediments due to the shape of the office or
building materials used, you may need to use multiple FortiWiFi-50B APs to help
FortiWiFi-50B APs within a uniquely shaped office space helps to distribute
signals around the area.
Figure 14: Using multiple APs to provide a constant strong signal.
Stairs
Washrooms
Elevator
This sample office has washrooms, a stairwell and an elevator shaft in the center
of the building, making it impossible to use a single FortiWiFi-50B AP effectively.
The elevator shaft and multiple metal stalls in the washrooms can cause signal
degradation. However, placing a FortiWiFi-50B AP in opposite corners of the
office provides maximum coverage.
When using multiple APs, each FortiWiFi-50B AP should be set to a different
channel to avoid interference in areas where signals from both FortiWiFi-50B
devices can be received.

Wireless Security
Using a wireless network
Wireless Security
Radio waves transmitted between a wireless device and access points provide the
weakest link between the wireless device and network servers. Wireless
networking can be risky because information travels on radio waves, which is a
public medium. The 802.11 standard includes security options to stop your
information from being intercepted by unwanted sources. These are Wireless
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Wireless
encryption is only used between the wireless device and the AP. The AP decrypts
the data before sending it along the wired network. The FortiWiFi-50B supports
both encryption methods.
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP security uses an encryption key between the wireless device and the AP. For
WEP security, the wireless device and AP must use the same encryption key, and
is manually typed by the wireless user and administrator. When activated, the
wireless device encrypts the data with the encryption key for each frame using
RSA RC4 ciphers.
There has been criticism of WEP security. WEP keys are static. They must be
changed manually and frequently on both the wireless device and the APs. On a
small company or network with a few users and APs, this is not a big issue.
However, the more users and APs, changing WEP keys regularly can become an
administrative headache and potentially error prone. Consequently, keys are
rarely changed over months or years, leaving a hacker plenty of time to get the
key and gain access to the network.
In small wireless networking environments, activating WEP security will
significantly minimize outside infiltrators from getting in your network and is better
than no security at all. However, it is still very important that you regularly change
the WEP key, at least weekly; or monthly at most.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA was developed to replace the WEP standard and provide a higher level of
data protection for wireless networks. WPA provides two methods of
authentication; through 802.1X authentication or pre-shared keys.
802.1X authenticates users through an EAP authentication server such as a
RADIUS server authenticates each user before they can connect to the network.
The encryption keys can be changed at varying intervals to minimize the
opportunity for hackers to crack the key being used.
In a network setup where a RADIUS server is not a viable option, WPA also
provides authentication with preshared keys using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP). Using TKIP, the encryption key is continuously re-keyed while the user is
connected to the wireless network. This creates a unique key on every data
packet. To further ensure data integrity, a Message Integrity Code (MIC also
known as Michael) is incorporated into each packet. It uses an 8 byte message
integrity code that is encrypted using the MAC addresses and data from each
frame to provide a more secure packet transmission.
WPA provides a more robust security between the wireless device and the access
point. The FortiWiFi-50B device supports both WPA methods.

Using a wireless network
FortiWiFi-50B operation modes
Additional security measures
The FortiWiFi-50B includes other security measures you can use to block
unwanted users from accessing your wireless network. By setting a few extra
options, you can be assured your network and its information is secure.
MAC address filtering
To improve the security of your wireless network, consider enabling MAC address
filtering on the FortiWiFi-50B unit. By enabling this feature, you define the wireless
devices that can access the network based on their system MAC address. When
a user attempts to access the wireless network, the FortiWiFi-60 unit checks the
MAC address of the user to the list you created. If the MAC address is on the
approved list, the user gains access to the network. If the user is not in the list, the
user is rejected. Using MAC address filtering makes it more difficult for a hacker
using random MAC addresses or spoofing a MAC address to gain access to your
network.
Service Set Identifier
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name shared by all users on a
wireless network. Wireless users should configure their computers to connect to
the network that broadcasts this network name. For security reasons, do not leave
the default name of “fortinet” as the network name.
Broadcasting enables wireless users to find a network. The FortiWiFi-50B models
includes an option not to broadcast the SSID. This provides an extra layer of
protection. If you configure all wireless users to the correct SSID, you do not need
to enable the broadcasting of the SSID.
To disable SSID

Go to System > Wireless > Settings.
Select Disable for the SSID Broadcast.
Select OK.
FortiWiFi-50B operation modes
The FortiWiFi-50B models each have two modes of operation for wireless
networking: Access Point and Client.
Access Point mode
When using the FortiWiFi in Access Point mode, the device acts as an access
point for wireless users to connect to, send and receive information over a
wireless network. It enables multiple wireless network users access to the
network without the need to connect to it physically. The FortiWiFi-50B can
connect to the internal network and act as a firewall to the Internet. Access Point
mode is the default mode.

Client mode
When using the FortiWiFi-50B in Client mode, the device is set to receive
transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect remote
users to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that does not
have a wired infrastructure.
For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sides
of the building, running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment.
The FortiWiFi-50B unit can support wired users using its four Ethernet ports and
can connect to another Access Point wirelessly as a Client. This connects the
wired users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.

The FortiWiFi-50B provides WAN interfaces for Internet connections. You can
configure the Internet connection for both wired networks and the wireless
network through the WLAN interface.
You can provide secure Internet access for wireless clients by creating firewall
policies from the WLAN interface to the WAN1 or WAN2 interfaces.
The following example creates a policy from the wireless clients (WLAN interface)
to the Internet (WAN1 interface) using traffic shaping, firewall authentication and
the default Strict content policy.
To create a new wall policy for a secure Internet connection

FortiGate Firmware
The FortiUSB key
The FortiUSB key
Note: The FortiUSB key requires a USB interface on the FortiGate unit. The FortiGate-50A,
FortiGate-50B and FortiWiFi-50B include USB interfaces.
The FortiUSB key provides flexibility and control when you are backing up and
restoring configuration files. The FortiUSB key also enables you to have a single,
secure location for storing configuration files.
The FortiUSB key is used with the USB Auto-Install feature, automatically
installing a configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The
USB Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that is
on the FortiUSB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to be
installed. If they do, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware
image file directly from the key to the unit.
Note: The FortiUSB key is purchased separately. The FortiGate unit only supports the
FortiUSB key, available from Fortinet.
Backup and Restore from the FortiUSB key
Use the FortiUSB key to backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file.
You should always make sure the FortiUSB key is properly installed before
proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its
USB port.
Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the
configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the
configuration file. However, an encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the Auto-Install
feature.
To backup a FortiGate configuration using the web-based manager

Using the USB Auto-Install feature
The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration
file and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an
additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting
down or rebooting your FortiGate unit.
The following procedures use both the web-based manager and the CLI.
However, it is recommended you use the CLI since the login screen may appear
before the installation is complete. The FortiGate unit may reboot twice if installing
the firmware image and configuration file.
Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files,
image.out and fgt_system.conf, must be in the root directory.
Note: Make sure FortiOS 3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before installing.
