Configuring network interfaces
Fortinet devices can be connected to any of the FortiAnalyzer unit's interfaces. The DNS servers must be on the networks to which the FortiAnalyzer unit connects, and should have two different IP addresses.
The following port configuration is recommended:
- Use port 1 for device log traffic, and disable unneeded services on it, such as SSH, Web Service, and so on.
- Use a second port for administrator access, and enable HTTPS, Web Service, and SSH for this port. Leave other services disabled.
To configure port 1:
- Go to System Settings > Network.The Interface pane is displayed at the top of the page.
- In the Interface pane, double-click Port1. The Edit System Interface pane is displayed.
- Configure the following settings for port1, then click OK to apply your changes.
