What about the ‘internal’ interface?

Migrating Meraki to FortiAP

We are thinking of doing slow migration testing moving from Meraki to FortiAPs by buildings. Can Meraki and FortiAPs coexist and share the same SSIDs and same security? Will devices be able to roam from one to the other?

FortiAP mesh connectivity issue

We are currently bridging two network/buildings using FortiAP Mesh.

FortiSwitch1 -> FortiAP A mesh root -> FortiAP B mesh client -> FortiSwitch2 -> FortiAP C

This has worked for few weeks. For some strange reasons, recently the switch port on FortiSwitch1 where FortiAP A Mesh is connected to starts to go into discarding mode whenever the mesh is connected which cause the link to go down. If I bounce the FortiAP A switch port, it will be pingable for few seconds before it is not pingable again. It also goes into the none edge mode when it sees the other FortiSwitch.

FortiSwitch1 is the STP root with lower priority number.

If I disable the mesh SSID, then FortiAP A stays online and pingable.

What could be the cause of this issue?

FortiManager ADOM

We have 8 sites running fortigate with version 7.4 and 2 sites running fortigates with version 7.6. When creating ADOM, is it better to create 7.4 ADOM or 7.6 ADOM to import configurations from all sites? I assume configuration needs to be re-installed from FortiManager back to the Fortigate devices to validate configuration?

Forticloud Organization confusion

Questions

  1. Suppose I use a Fortinet account to create a Fortinet Organization. Does that account automatically become the root (master) account? Is the account itself considered part of the organization it created? If I then activate FortiEdge Cloud (US) using the same account, should I be able to create an IAM user that can access that same FortiEdge Cloud (US) instance? In my lab testing, this does not appear to be the case. When I log in using the IAM user, the FortiEdge Cloud (US) instance does not appear. The IAM user has been granted access to the root OU with FortiEdge Cloud Administrator permissions. It appears that the FortiEdge Cloud instance created by the root account is associated only with that root account, whereas IAM users only have access to resources that belong to the Fortinet Organization. Is my understanding correct?
  2. It also appears that, within the organizational hierarchy, I must select an OU that has at least one member account assigned to it. Otherwise, the available actions are grayed out.
  3. There seems be a concept of local or organization. For example PartnerRole in IAM seems to be local only access to MyAssets

Could someone please confirm whether my understanding is correct, or if there is a configuration step that I may have missed?

DRS Rebalance with mixed portgroup security settings

Let's say you have 6 ESXi hosts in a cluster with DRS turned on. 3 hosts have one set of portgroup security settings and the other 3 hosts have different portgroup security settings (Promiscuous mode, MAC address change, Forged transmits). Will DRS still be able to load balance or redistribute VMs among the hosts with the same settings?
