Product Overview
FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall technology delivers complete content and network protection by combining stateful inspection with a comprehensive suite of powerful security features.
Application control, firewall, antivirus, IPS, Web filtering and VPN along with advanced features such as an extreme threat database, vulnerability management and flow-based inspection work in concert to identify and mitigate the latest complex security threats.
The security-hardened FortiOS operating system is purpose-built for inspection and identification of malware and supports direct Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) for higher & more consistent performance.

Usage & Technical Prerequisites
Please note, that in this license case Exoscale cannot guarantee the vendor support for the firewall image. It is the responsibility of the customer to purchase a license and a software subscription.
For using Fortinet FortiGate it is important to know that the licenses are based on the used virtual cores of the virtual machine. The customer needs to identify the necessary instance and take over the responsibility of sizing.
After selecting the correct instance, the according number of licenses per core can be selected.
Technical Documentation
For the initial configuration (vendor web GUI/Exoscale console interface) the default credentials can be used:
username: admin
password: *< leave blank >*
It is the responsibility of the customer to change those as soon as possible.
For versions lower than 7.0, it’s necessary to enable the HTTP service (port 80) via the Exoscale console:
FortiGate-VM64-KVM # config system interface
FortiGate-VM64-KVM (interface) # edit port1
FortiGate-VM64-KVM (port1) # set allowaccess ping http https ssh
FortiGate-VM64-KVM (port1) # end
Additionally, it is the responsibility of the customer to protect the admin interfaces port 22 (ssh), 80 (http) and 443 (https) via security groups, so that only intended people can access them.
For technical limitations, please see the official vendor documentation
