Study Notes

Security Fabric Configuration

  • Enabling global CMDB objects is done through the root FortiGate, which distributes them to downstream Security Fabric members.

Log Collection and Analysis

  • The root FortiGate logs each session once.
  • An upstream FortiGate device generates another log for a session coming from another member's MAC address when the session is forwarded from another FortiGate.
  • The root FortiGate completes UTM logging for sessions in the Security Fabric.
  • FortiAnalyzer ensures accurate reporting and automation in the Security Fabric by collecting and analyzing logs from all FortiGate devices.

Packet Processing and Forwarding

  • When a FortiGate device in the Security Fabric receives a packet from another FortiGate, it forwards the packet to its destination without logging.
  • The exception is when the packet is part of a session that is already known to the FortiGate.

Logging and FortiAnalyzer

  • If the root FortiGate is down, logging from leaf FortiGate devices to FortiAnalyzer is not affected.

Policy and Object Management

  • The purpose of setting firewall policies in the Security Fabric is to define security rules and enforcement.
  • The purpose of FortiAnalyzer in the Security Fabric is to collect and analyze logs, and provide reporting and automation.
  • The root FortiGate pushes global policy objects and groups to downstream FortiGate devices.
  • The command config system central-management is used to disable configuration synchronization on downstream FortiGate devices.
  • The default behavior of the root FortiGate in a Security Fabric is to push CMDB objects to all downstream FortiGate devices.
  • Disabling configuration synchronization on downstream FortiGate devices is used to prevent unwanted changes to their configuration.

Fabric Object Unification

  • Setting fabric-object-unification to local on a downstream FortiGate device allows the device to use local objects and ignores global objects from the root.
  • Setting fabric-object-unification to default on a downstream FortiGate device allows the device to use global objects from the root.
  • Locally scoping individual objects and groups on the root FortiGate is used to control which objects are pushed to downstream FortiGate devices.

Example Topology

  • In the example topology, the FortiGate-3 has fabric-object-unification set to local.
  • In the example topology, the FortiGate-2 will not import objects sent by the root FortiGate.
  • In the example topology, the FortiGate-1 will receive and synchronize the objects sent from the root FortiGate.
