It’s a getting-started sort of guide, though at 217 pages, it’s pretty long. In simple words, the remote VPN server’s network card becomes a new route that connects your computer to the remote network and at the same time. But alas, the contents weren’t quite so interesting. I'm looking for the cheapest, smallest router that I can use literally just as a passthrough device to apply the VPN while the Google WiFi actually manages the WiFi and.


You know, it sounds like those self-help kind of books. In fact, the title itself, sounded exciting enough to make me want to bring it back up to my office to read. Particularly those on paper.ĭid you notice that the firewall hardware, in the photo above, is “cut through” and the sides have been made out to look like a cake? I think this is the first enterprise network product with a manual that looks really so attractive. But it’s often far more exciting to play around with the product first than to read boring documentation. Sometimes we spend more time than we would have had we actually read the manuals first. We dive straight into the product without reading manuals. It has been around for almost a year, but I’ve not actually flipped through its paper documentation. I must have been hungry.Īs I finally read the subtext, “Recipes for Success with your FortiGate”, I realised this was yet another product documentation. Really, a food book among all the boring product documentation we have strewn all over the place? I must love chocolates a lot too, because that chocolate sauce on the page looked really delicious. Then, as my eyes scanned upward from the raspberries in the lower right corner of the cover, the text “Cookbook” leapt out.

Among the stacks of various boring manuals, disclaimer sheets, warranty information, licensing terms, and tons of useless documentation, there was this book in colour. It's the approach that others have taken such as Google to Rackspace.At work, yesterday, we were clearing out some stores from various secret network locations, and something unusual caught my eye. It would be nice to see FTNT expand the cookbook lineup, but over all is a smart approach. I've made my own personal PowerPoint recipes sheets for setting up basic Fortimail from gateway to server, creating auto config backup, mail alias and groups, etc.įor a current suggestion, if you take the most common everyday cases posted to TAC or even this forum, these would be greate cookbook recipes to start adding to the site. I deal with a little over half dozen business with fortimail, & who bug me for everything under the sun. I think offering recipes for FortiMAIL would be the next best thing imho. Since my earlier involvement with fortinet, you have grown your end-products easily by a factor 10x or more. I know the forticookbook is primarily a "fortigate" specific cookbook, but I think FTNT would do best if they would offer various menus for the other Forti XXXXX products.

You mentined that you have your personal PowerPoint recipes sheets for setting up basic Fortimail from gateway to server, creating auto config backup, mail alias and groups, etc. i am an FCNSP and now i want to start to do FortiMail Specialist. I read you post about FortiMail Coockbook recipes.
