Port forwarding

FortiIsolator supports IP mapping, which allows you to configure access to FortiIsolator through port forwarding. Port forwarding maps external IP addresses to FortiIsolator internal IP addresses. You can configure port forwarding in high availability (HA) or regular mode.

For example, if two networks, one external and one internal, connect to a FortiGate device, when IP addresses on the external network are accessed, traffic is redirected to the internal IP addresses on FortiIsolator. The configuration information in this section follows an example setup with the following values:

External IP address of router

<external_IP_address>

Internal IP address of FortiIsolator

10.160.12.207

Router redirections

  • <external_IP_address>:12443 > 10.160.12.207:443
  • <external_IP_address>:12887 > 10.160.12.207:8887
