    Creating AliCloud Service connector

    Creating AliCloud Service connector

    With FortiManager, you can create a fabric connector for AliCloud Service, and then import address names from AliCloud Service to automatically create dynamic objects that you can use in policies. When you install the policies to one or more FortiGate units, FortiGate uses the information to communicate with AliCloud Service and dynamically populate the objects with IP addresses.

    When you create a fabric connector for AliCloud Service, you are specifying how FortiGate can communicate directly with AliCloud Service.

    Requirements:

    • FortiGate is managed by FortiManager.
    • The managed FortiGate unit is configured to work with AliCloud Service.
    To create a fabric connector object for Alibaba Cloud Service:
    1. Go to Fabric View > Fabric > External Connectors, and click Create New. The Create New Fabric Connector wizard is displayed.
    2. Under Public SDN, select AliCloud. The Alibaba Cloud screen is displayed.

    3. Configure the following options, and then click OK:

      Type

      Displays Alibaba Cloud Service (ACS).

      Name

      Type a name for the fabric connector object.

      Status

      Toggle On to enable the fabric connector object. Toggle OFF to disable the fabric connector object.

      Update Interval (s)

      Select one of the following options:

      • Click Use Default to use the default interval.
      • Click Specify and specify the interval.

      AccessKey ID

      Specify the AccessKey ID for AliCloud.

      AccessKey Secret

      Specify the AccessKey Secret for AliCloud.

      Region ID

      Specify the Region ID.

    4. Click OK to save the connector.
    To complete the fabric connector setup:
    1. Import address names or manually create the dynamic firewall address for the SDN connector. See Importing address names to fabric connectors and Configuring dynamic firewall addresses for fabric connectors.
    2. In the policy package in which you will be creating the new policy, create a firewall policy and include the dynamic firewall address objects for the SDN connector. See Create a new firewall policy.
    3. Install the policy package to FortiGate. See Install a policy package.

      FortiGate communicates with the SDN to dynamically populate the firewall address objects with IP addresses.
