Configuring the FortiLog unit

Connecting to the FortiLog Unit

 

 

You can classify the device interfaces as one of None, LAN, WAN or DMZ to match the type of traffic the interface will process. When the FortiLog unit generates the traffic log report, the FortiLog unit compares the source and destination interface classifications and determines the traffic direction. The traffic direction is one of:

Incoming

Outgoing

Internal

External

Unclassified.

The table below illustrates how the source and destination interface types are represented in the log report as traffic direction.

Creating Device Groups

if you have a number of devices belonging to a department or section of the company, you can create groups to keep these devices together for easier access. Once you create a group you can add or remove devices from the groups as required.

To create a device group

1Go to System > Devices > Groups.

2Select Create New.

3Enter a group name.

4Select the devices you wish to add to the group.

5Select OK.

You do not have to add device to the group when you first create the group. There are a number of alternate ways of adding a device to a group:

select Edit to add or remove devices when required.

In the selected devices tab, select the device and select Assign Selected.
