Configuring the FortiGates

Configuring the FortiGates

To configure the FortiGates:
  1. Edit the SDN connector on each FortiGate-VM to add the protocol forwarding rule configuration:

    config system sdn-connector edit "gcp_conn" config forwarding-rule edit "doc-pf-rule" set target "doc-pf-primary-instance" next end next end

  2. For the secondary FortiGate-VM, specify the secondary target instance for the forwarding rule configuration:

    config system sdn-connector edit "gcp_conn" config forwarding-rule edit "doc-pf-rule" set target "doc-pf-secondary-instance" next end next end

Note

The example configuration is not a full SDN configuration and only illustrates the changes needed to support protocol forwarding.
