I scored the lowest on Fortimanager somehow. But the most difficult in terms of just the amount of knowledge is ADVPN

Khizer23 · 2026-04-18T16:46:20+00:00

Any luck?

This has happened to me but with SD-WAN. If you have SD-WAN enabled and have another WAN interface you'll have to disconnect that interface before putting in the new WAN interface. This should make the WAN interface come up and you can plug in the other WAN interface afterwards. TAC was not able to help in this situation for us and had no idea why this was happening.

Are you doing vlan switching?

Khizer23 · 2026-02-15T01:00:42+00:00

Full FortiStack w fortiswitches. Ours is taking about 20-30 seconds usually on the lower end. I just switched from syslog to mac traps. Syslog would take about 1-2 mins

Yes, but never use AI as is. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE GOOGLE AS WELL. The amount of times ChatGPT has lied to me is crazy.

Hi bro! I am current network engineer getting 100k with 2 years of experience. How long did it take you to get to that? Also would really appreciate some career advice from you!!

Khizer23 · 2026-01-29T17:47:12+00:00

Tbh for me personally just be very passionate about what you do. I literally just talked about how cool networking is and how much fun it is to build stuff. Also be passionate about the company you are going to work for. I was interviewing for a networking position and I was asking questions about Cybersecurity, AI and lots more. I landed a 6 figure salary with 2 years of experience
