Step 4 (Optional): Cloud-init

Step 4 (Optional): Cloud-init

This section is specific to configuring cloud-init. If not using this function, proceed to Launch instance.

This section describes how to bootstrap a FortiNAC VM using cloud-init. This method can be used if deploying VMs on AWS. When the new instance is launched, it boots with a predetermined configuration.

  • FortiNAC day zero configuration:

  • Port1 IP Address

  • Subnet mask

  • Gateway

Configure

  1. Create the FortiNAC configuration script via text editor. The configuration script for a FortiNAC VM uses FortiNAC-OS CLI syntax.

    Script should contain the following content:

    #<HostName> Day0 Configuration

    config system interface

    edit port1

    set ip <port1 IP address>/<mask>

    set allowaccess https-adminui ssh

    next end config system route

    edit 1

    set device port1

    set gateway <Default Gateway for port1>

    next

    end

    Example

    Hostname = FNC

    port1 IP address and mask = 10.12.234.175/22

    Default gateway = 10.12.232.1

    #FNC Day0 Configuration

    config system interface

    edit port1

    set ip 10.12.234.175/22

    set allowaccess https-adminui ssh

    next end config system route

    edit 1

    set device port1

    set gateway 10.12.232.1

    next

    end
