Every network is different and the interfaces to which the main ports and auxiliary ports
of the FortiDDoS device are connected have to be described clearly to the device so
that it can communicate with the networks without any errors.
You must know the network settings before installing FortiDDoS device. The existing
switches/routers/firewalls have their ports set to certain speed, duplexity, and flow
control mode.
With those settings in mind, you must set the values in the Configure> Global> Card 1
> Interface Settings Menu shown in
1 Configure LAN 1 to Copper or Fiber and then to Auto or Forced depending on the
port connected to LAN 1. If you set it to Forced, configure the speed, the duplex
value and the flow control value. Some of the settings will be enabled or disabled
depending on the Interface or Mode.
2 Repeat step 1 for WAN 1, LAN 2 and WAN 2.
3 Repeat the same steps for other cards in the appliance.
