Configuring the tunnel interfaces

For FortiTelemetry traffic to flow securely through the IPsec VPN, FortiTelemetry traffic must travel between the tunnel interfaces with the interface on External listening for this traffic.

The tunnel interfaces require IP addresses. In this example, the External tunnel interface is assigned the IP address 1.1.1.1 and the Branch tunnel interface is assigned the IP address 1.1.1.2.

  1. On External, go to Network > Interfaces and edit the tunnel interface.

    Set IP to the local IP address for this interface (1.1.1.1) and Remote IP to the local IP address for the Branch tunnel interface (1.1.1.2).

    Under Administrative Access, enable FortiTelemetry.

  2. On Branch, go to Network > Interfaces and edit the tunnel interface.

    Set IP to the local IP address for this interface (1.1.1.2) and Remote IP to the local IP address for the External tunnel interface (1.1.1.1).
