How to Configure Load Balance on FortiGate Firewall? (Step by Step Guide)

welcome to Silas infotech in this video I am going to demonstrate how to configure load balancing on 40 gate router load balancing on 48 is a feature that allows you to distribute Network traffic across the multiple internet service provider or links it helps optimize Network performance increase bandwidth availability and improve overall reliability as you can see here in this topology there are two internet service provider isp1 and isp2 so let's start before starting let's make footyear router accessible from the GUI or graphic user interface so I'm going to make a visibility clear here so username admin and I am going to give a password Here we can give the password according to yours so let's check the interface status here and so get system interface so here you can see Port 1 is getting IP address 192.168.199.30 as a now let's configure the system into uh import one here I'm going to configure the port on here and set allow access https HTTP SS SSH ping and Next Step next sign in so you can access the Portugues router from the GUI and I'm going to access it from the GUI sections so my IP address is 192.168.199.30 and my password admin sorry my username admin and my password is blah blah blah and click on later here you can choose this don't show again or and before that I'm going to give hostname for the four ticket router and choose the time zone I'm going to choose the Tokyo Japan and you can put as your trash here so when load balancing load balancing is enabled on pretty good router it monitors the status and performance of the available ISP link which uses various algorithms such as round robin weighted round robin list session and iPad registrations to determine how traffic should be distributed among the links so here you can see my Photon status and I am going to configure put 2 here Port rule should be one port and I'm going to configure IP address as DHCP and through the local network I'm going to configure the port 3 here so rules should be land and I'm going to manual ideas here or a static IP this year 0.124 and administrative access to https and ping over here for 10host and you can configure this time also now here you can see my portrait and poetry it's already getting the IP address before that let's let's start the switch also switch here so that coming get to the client and 48 router so before the enabling SD sorry before set configure sd1 you have to enable some feature on pretty good router like load balancing and HD on interface Naval load balance and click on apply so load balancing feature consider factors like link capacity response time packet loss and other Matrix to make individual intelligence decision on which links to use for specific traffics it can be dynamically adjust the distribution of traffic based on current link condition ensuring efficiency utilizations of available resources so here I am going to configure the SD so on I am going to give the name as a load balance okay and choose the load balance and click on OK now let's add another import member here Our sdon member here I'm going to choose the port one and ST1 June member should build load balancer sorry load balance here you can see there are two put trim Port remember here we'll put one and put two mm-hmm so you can define rule here I am going to create the rules for load balancer and give the name load balance I'm going to give the name load balance here and address I'm going to choose all and protocol numbers in any so you can select the strategy for how outgoing interface will be chosens so I'm going to choose the base quality here as default and Enterprise preference Port 1 and Port 2 June preference load balance and measure Slim you can create here you can create as whatever you like what I am going to choose the for Ticket default sorry default 40 guard here and click on OK so performance SLS you can get here but I'm not going to create it right now if you create the performance SLA you can so let's create the static routes here before that let's change the port on rule here I'm going to change to one put here now let's create the static routes here click on static routes create new and you can choose the network whatever you like I'm going to put as default and interface should be load balance now you can check the SD sdon status here put to download 12.1 to KVs per seconds and pause on download its 28.7878 KVs per seconds so let's ping so before the access Internet we have to create the firewall policy here I'm going to create the firewall crazy here internet and name I'm going to give the name internet connection and incoming incoming interface in my case Port 3 is the incoming interface and outgo outgoing interface is a load balance shows all destinations all and service also all so that my client can access the internet through four digit routers or client client computer can access the internet through the vertigate routers here you can see it's already getting sorry phone client is connected through the DHCP server now I'm going to Ping the public cloud 1.1.1 public Cloud DNS so here you can see configuration ping is com done here now you can check the status of the HD on whatever unfortunate routers the bandwidth is Port 2 is 12.45 KVs per second to get the accurate result we need to create the performance SLA here so I'm going to keep the name load balance test and program mode active protocol ping and server a public cloud DNA server 1.1.1 and just click on OK Now link is up and here you can see 50 almost 50 50 percent it's by bandwidth so let's bring again to the public DNA server 1.1.1 so let's check the status again so in this time there are here you can see almost 50 50 percent by bandwidth and by volume and sessions load balancing on for Ticket router so there are many advantages of enabling load balancing on Pro ticket router like increased bandwidth in group performance return redundancy and resiliency resilience cost optimization traffic price so overall enabling load balancing on 40 gate router with multiple ISP has to optimize network resources improved performance enhanced reliability and provide better user experience for your network users yeah load balancing allows for efficiency utilization of available available resources reducing conjunctions on any single link this can lead to improved Network performance reduce latency and better user experience so this is the load balancing on 40 gate router [Music] so thank you for watching that's all for this video If you like this video and want to support please
