Transparent web filtering using a virtual wire pair

Transparent web filtering using a virtual wire pair

This example shows how to insert FortiGate transparent web filtering between two network devices. The FortiGate is configured with a management interface and Virtual Wire (V-Wire) pair connected between a network switch and router. Once inserted between the network devices, V-Wire policy and web-filtering are configured to allow and inspect traffic.

In this example, port 1 is used for management, while ports 2 and 3 are configured as the virtual wire pair.
