Hello and welcome back. 1
First of all congratulations for setting up your lab environment on your own PC using the GNS 3 2
software. 3
So now after you have gone through the course and you have all of the appliances installed let's click 4
on the left panel in the browse all devices and in all devices I have now chosen life I've chosen the 5
installed appliances. 6
So if you have gone through through the FREE COURSE, the GNS3 free course now we have all of the appliances 7
available. 8
So the next step obviously we have to set up the lab environment for this specific course. 9
So I will take first of all on Windows 10 PC. 10
This is going to be the end user PC that is going to connect to the Internet next. 11
We also need a FORTIGATE appliances. 12
So we'll take only one we need only one in this lab and I will take the FORTIGATE 5.4.2 versioning 13
because this way we know again from the free course it will be able to register into the FORTIMANAGER 14
next. 15
We also need let's see let's see let's take a let's take a switch so let's take a Cisco switch we'll put 16
it like in the middle and it will provide connectivity between Windows 10 PC FORTIManager and the 17
FORTIGATE 18
Last but not least we will need an Internet appliance so that the end user the windows and PC will connect 19
to the real Internet and can browse and can do whatever it wants. 20
So now that we have all the appliances in our workspace we will need to provide connectivity so it doesn't 21
matter which port I choose. 22
What I have to do it so port to going to Internet appliance and we are also connecting the FORTImanager 23
to our topology. 24
Now if you as you have probably seen in in the GNS3 course we can just we arrange it so that the 25
topology in diagram looks nice we can also change host names. 26
So this is only Windows PC let's say ok for the manager. 27
Yes we know it's version 5.6.1 but it's not necessary important to have it on the diagram. 28
So this is the FORTIMANAGER let's do the same for the switch. 29
So let's say this is only a switch and click ok. 30
Drag it and this looks nice. 31
Fortigate appliance. 32
It's version 5.4.2 Let's rename it just to say Fortigate Firewall for example and click OK. 33
And the last appliance will change the host name. 34
And let's say just Internet. 35
So now we have a fully functional topology in your in your laptop on your laptop and you can see that 36
it's obviously more convenient to run your whole set up on your PC don't need extra server 37
To invest in your in your learning path to have a VMWare ESXi environment. 38
Or maybe you again choose Microsoft offering in this way of reproducing the topology. 39
So you don't need extra hardware to do it. 40
It's very easy I think I have provided all the necessary information in the GNS3 FREE course to to 41
prepare your lab environment. 42
If it's not so so if you need extra information or maybe you have any kind of trouble there. 43
Please leave a question in the in the course and I will try to answer as soon as possible. 44
So with all this said thank you for your time and happy labbing.
