Full Fortinet Stack Environment

A lot of people praise Meraki and UBNT for their capabilities of having a single ecosystem stack from edge to endpoint. I think you need to give Fortinet their due credit as well. Learn how to create a full stack in Fortinet for the Firewall, Switch and Access Point

Hi Fortinet Guru, it's nice to see some hints and tips from you, I'm mainly working on the bigger devices in an enterprise environment. (FG1100, FG1800 and upwards)
It's sometimes very helpful to see some ideas from a different side of view, it's helps in daily work. Thanks for sharing !

There were a lot of helpful tidbits of knowledge in here! I really appreciate it, especially since I'll be deploying stacks just like what you have shown.

[RichardDePas]

Thanks! That was a great brief description of getting the stack up and running.

[FlorianZevedei]

Thanks for the impressive and simple introduction! Great stuff. Makes a lot of sense in that "Forti-Universe". Thanks!

I have a Fortinet Full Stack at my house, and it's pretty cool.

[cecilerasmussen]

Giving this a go tomorrow, can't wait makes a lot of sense Thank you

I love your videos. The one brilliant source of fortiknowledge.

[uByte]

Just what I needed. Thank you so much.

[ajibolayusuf]

The way you explain things succinctly needs to be studied! For real thank you Mikey!

First time watching you video; love it. Now a subscriber

Thanks for this great teaser of fortinet full stack 👍

I don't know if you already have this video but if you have time can you also discuss multi tenancy capabilities of fortinet firewall, like vdoms/vrf.

I'm just collecting use cases that may help us build a network as service provider, currently reviewing fortinet as firewall for this project..

Hope to hear some inputs..🙂 cheers 👍👏 keep it up

Have been following your blog and videos. Excellent walk through!

Deployed my first full Fortinet Stack (101F configured in a ring mode on the 10G interfaces 2x FS148F-PoE w/10x FortiAP-231E)

All i can say is that the video doesn't do justice what the whole solution can actually do.

For my client's request, i got to see first hand how powerful the whole integration is. Being able to see devices is one thing, the FortiAP is pretty decent, as its able to also monitor the air in real time for the 231E (yes they even have the meraki spectrum analysis!). Roaming wasn't a problem and didn't require much configuration which i'm quite surprised coming from deploying Ubiquiti/Ruckus/Aruba.

I just hope Fortinet has better QC on their Fortigate's firmware.

This was a great video! Thank you so much!!

That was a great explanation of all of that. I have the 60F, 124PoE, 221E, and a 222E and have just started working at dialing all of this stuff in on my home network. My 60F uploads to my office Fortianalyzer. I can police the kids and keep them off youtube and stuff, and shut off the netflix at night so they actually go to bed. I'd like to see some policy building, as I had a hard time getting the chromebooks locked down.

[myanmarict]

That is really helpful. Thank you so much!

Great video!! You make it easier to understand. Hey, do you know how to split an SD-WAN to share WAN1 through LAN port 2? Just a thought.

[bboosss]

Can you please explore more of the lldp med thing and the logic of the allowed / native thing? How do you decide which port is a trunk port? Or basically it does dot1q and you just decide the native

[stanleyilchev]

Love the content!!
What issues have you run into if you don't daisy-chain the switches, but connect them all directly to the firewall and "trunk" them from there?

[eraadw]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.

I have been watching your videos for weeks/month now. And thanks to you I decided to buy a full stack (FG/FS/AP - Book) a week ago for myself and it seems this video came at the perfect moment.

Since you mention other brand at the start of your video, I was wondering, even tho Fortinet seems way more advanced and reliable than many brand atm do you think installing Unifi or Edge for very small office is a good idea ?

Anyway thanks again for sharing !!!!

Hey long time no see a new video...! Missed your excellent videos!!!
