Fortinet: How to Setup a Route-Based IPSec VPN Tunnel on a FortiGate Firewall

you hi in this phone a story or video I'm gonna be showing you how to set up a route based IPSec VPN tunnel let's jump into the firewall and get started the first thing you need to do is go into our VPN section IPSec tunnels I'm gonna click on create new we're gonna click on custom template which will allow us to build our own I'm gonna be building a VPN tunnel to a SonicWALL firewall the network information here we need to define the remote public IP address of the other side of the tunnel the interface here will be the local LAN connection that the FortiGate will be using to establish the tunnel we're going to establish a pre shared key which is a password that you can define and then we need to match up our phase 1 and phase 2 parameters on both ends of the tunnel I remove all the other predefined and just set the parameters that we have set on the other side under the phase 2 we need to establish the local and remote networks that we'll be communicating over the tunnel so the local subnet will be the land subnet of the photogate the remote something that will be the network behind the SonicWALL on the other side I'm going to complete this by defining the Phase two proposals on the encryption settings I'm gonna click on ok to save those so now we have our tunnel built we need to establish a route to point traffic over that tunnel so here we're going to find the subnet on the remote side of the tunnel we're going to choose the SonicWALL VPN interface that we just created and then click OK the last thing that we need to do is build firewall rules to allow the traffic between the two firewalls so I'm going to do a local to VPN rule the local interface will be our internal subnet the outgoing interface will be all SonicWALL VPN tunnel we want to allow all traffic across and we want to disable that we're going to do the same thing but in the other direction so our incoming will be all SonicWALL VPN and then the outgoing will be traffic forwarded to our internal subnet then I will allow all traffic inbound over the VPN and disable the net as well I'm going to click on OK now we need to bring up our VPN tunnel so I'm gonna go under the monitor and IPSec monitor and here you'll be able to bring up the tunnel now we can see that the tunnel has been established from the FortiGate to the SonicWALL and a verified traffic I'm going to open up a command prompt and going to run a ping to the other side of the tunnel now we have traffic flowing from the FortiGate over to the SonicWALL on the other side thanks for watching this video for all things firewall related visitors at firewalls com
