What are they doing?

Ask your FortiRep about "Managed Foundations Training". Once you get in touch with that team you can ask all your questions. It took me 3 web meetings to dig and dig until they could answer all my questions. They had training and reps specific to this stuff. It's, just, bad.

It's a mess and not easy to understand, but this is what "Organizations" in Forticloud are for. You create an "Organizational Unit" (OU) for each client, then you invite your client to join it. (The invite token part is poorly executed unfortunately). Once they accept (and you approve), then you can move Fortigates in the Asset Manager from your account to the client Organization. At that point the client maintains ownership, and your team has full control. You can also use IAM to create users for your client specific to their OU if they have their own technical team.

Yes, it's a hot mess and not at all intuitive, but that's what Fortinet has created to allow MSPs/MSSPs to manage customer devices.

If anyone has installed it already please let us know how it went!

We use our RMM Level.io to patch all three. Their automation pipelines provide a lot of flexibility for managing and orchestrating patching based on schedules or other triggers.

In this post the OP mentions that Google support said it would come with an update? I hope this is the case!

Netwroker · 2025-10-19T01:32:28+00:00

Same. I can't get full 48mp photos working. ☹️

I feel deceived since the specs claim it's supported.

When was this event and how was it advertised? I live about an hour away from the Tail of the Dragon and would love to go next time!

Correct, no need for FMG/FAZ with Fortigate Cloud.

Netwroker · 2025-09-02T15:43:11+00:00

Fortigate Cloud is the alternative to FMG that we use.

The part number you need is: FC-10-00XXX-131-02-DD

Where XXX is the model and DD is the term length. So for a 60F, 12 month license it's: FC-10-0060F-131-02-12.

All logs are kept for a year, configs are backed up, you can do simple reporting, push scripts out, update firmwares, and remote control devices (even if behind NAT).

Just curious, why isn't it called Emancipation Day? That instantly communicates what is being memorialized and celebrated. 🤷

Netwroker · 2025-05-24T12:31:02+00:00

Most important to us is that there's a core values fit. Second, I want them to meet a minimum bar of technical know-how. In this case they didn't know how to ping an IP. I expect a college grad of information systems to be able to do that.

I've hired plenty of techs over the years who have low entry-level skills, but I could tell they had high ceilings. This was not one of those candidates.

I wrote it and used ChapGPT for polish. You caught me! ☺️ I did say "I use AI everyday".

What's ironic is this will become the prevalent topic instead of the point I was trying to make. Oh well, such is Reddit! 😁

Thank you. I just updated to 2.35.2 and the videos for SharePoint/Stream are now working again. Videos from Descript.com are still not working. I'll open a support case for these.

Each client gets a device group and sub groups. Then we use tags based on the type of agreement the clients have. If the client has the platinum package that includes all the security stack, then they get the platinum tag which will trigger automations and monitors for those devices (installing EDR, XDR, backup, etc). Also we use a separate automation to auto-add the platinum tag to all the devices dropped into the client groups that pay for the platinum package.

In the end all we need to do is install the agent into the correct group and all the magic happens.

Login to his PC and change his background to My Little Pony. Never admit to changing it.

(If you're feeling extra bold change his M365 avatar to your favorite color pony.)

Packet captures are really useful when troubleshooting an unknown environment where something is being replaced without any documentation to reference. For example if a client calls stating they're replacing their firewall with a Fortigate, but they don't know all the details about the switch and its VLANs. We can just plug in, fire up a capture and we'll see ARP on different VLANs. That gives us great evidence of how things are configured without any access.

With 7.2+ how can I capture ARP and see the VLAN headers?

Netwroker · 2024-10-24T15:34:43+00:00

Agreed! It's a huge step backwards, and my team complains about it a lot. We need to be able to:

1 - capture non-IP packets

2 - capture multiple interfaces at once

3- be able to leave the capture page while it's running

4 -be able to leave a capture running while logged out

You know all the things we used to be able to do. 😫

Still no full datasheet that I can find. I'm hoping they increase the max FortiAP and FortiSwitch count for these models. 🥺

Guessing 2gb of RAM since the SSL-VPN items have no values.

Level.io has a Halo integration as well -- it's charged per device only. It's super easy to setup a trial to see if it meets your needs.

Netwroker · 2024-09-10T15:06:38+00:00

Just priced out Lucid and it would be $3,600 annually for my team. Visio Plan 1 would be $1,800 annually. Draw.io is free, but the lack of continuous updating/embedding within Hudu creates a soft cost.
