Description: 

A free, hands-on technical workshop from Fortinet

Most people still think of Fortinet as a firewall company. This workshop shows what the platform actually does now.

In this 4-hour session, participants build a real school network environment: configuring switching and wireless, creating VLANs and SSIDs, setting up Network Access Control policies, and managing everything from a single interface, first directly, then through centralized management across multiple sites.

This isn't a demo. Participants leave having actually done the work.

What you'll learn to do:

• Create a FortiLink interface connecting switches and access points to the firewall
• Authorize and manage switches and access points
• Build VLANs and network policies
• Configure wireless networks (SSIDs) and radio settings
• Assign firewall policies at the network edge
• Manage devices centrally across multiple sites
• Configure Network Access Control (NAC) policies
• Configure MCLAG for switch redundancy

Audience:

• Technology Staff, no prior Fortinet experience required

Special Instructions: Laptop required for 4 hour, Hands-on learning session.
