Course Overview
In this course, you are assigned a series of do-it-yourself (DIY) configuration tasks in a virtual lab environment.
The configuration tasks cover some of the topics in the FCP - FortiGate 7.4 Administrator certification exam and include the use of the most common FortiGate features, such as firewall policies, the Fortinet Security Fabric, user authentication, SSL and IPsec VPNs, equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing, IPS, high availability (HA), and content inspection.
This course is not a replacement for the FortiGate Administrator (FGT-ADM) course. This is a follow up option to those in order to gain additional lab time/experience and does not fulfill an "elective" option for the certification.
Quem deve participar
Networking and security professionals involved in the management, configuration, administration, and monitoring of FortiGate devices used to secure their organizations' networks should attend this course.
This course is ideal for students who have already taken FortiGate Administrator (FGT-ADM), or have equivalent working experience, and want to get more hands-on lab practice before taking the FortiGate 7.4 Administrator certification exam.
Pré- requisitos
You must have an understanding of the topics covered in FortiGate Administrator (FGT-ADM) (or have equivalent experience).
