Network option is FortiGate dasboard

In the FortiGate dashboard, you will find several network options that allow you to configure and manage network-related settings. Some of the common network options available in the FortiGate dashboard include:

1. Interfaces: You can configure network interfaces, including physical ports, VLAN interfaces, and virtual interfaces. This option allows you to assign IP addresses, define interface settings, configure link aggregation, and manage interface-specific features.

2. Routing: FortiGate supports various routing protocols, such as static routing, OSPF, BGP, and RIP, which can be configured through the dashboard. You can define routing tables, configure routing policies, and set up dynamic routing protocols for effective network routing.

3. DHCP: The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) option allows you to configure DHCP servers and relay agents to automatically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, DNS server addresses, and other network configuration parameters to client devices on your network.

4. NAT: FortiGate provides Network Address Translation (NAT) capabilities, allowing you to configure source NAT (SNAT) and destination NAT (DNAT) rules. NAT enables the translation of private IP addresses to public IP addresses, enabling devices within a private network to communicate with the internet.

5. VLANs: You can create and manage virtual LANs (VLANs) in the dashboard, allowing you to segment your network into logical groups. VLANs provide network isolation, security, and traffic management capabilities.

6. IPv6: FortiGate supports IPv6, and you can configure IPv6 addressing, routing, and other IPv6-related settings through the dashboard.

7. DNS: You can configure DNS (Domain Name System) settings, including DNS servers, domain name resolution policies, DNS cache settings, and DNS-related security features.

8. Wireless LAN: If your FortiGate device has built-in wireless capabilities, you can configure and manage wireless LAN settings, including SSIDs, authentication methods, encryption, and access control policies.

These network options in the FortiGate dashboard allow you to customize and manage various aspects of your network configuration, ensuring efficient network connectivity, addressing, routing, and other network-related functionalities.
