![]() If the virtual machine wants to go out to the internet, it has to go via the FortiGate appliance LAN interface that we will implement. So we need to create an isolated network here. We wanted to create a network where only the Virtual machine could communicate with each other and not with the host machine. That way, my local area network router will automatically assign an IP address to the WAN interface. Configure the WAN interface.įor the second interface, we are going to use bridged mode. While adding, make sure you choose host-only adapter and DHCP service is enabled.Ĭlick on Ok. In case if you don’t have VMnet2, you may click on Add network to add the VMnet2. You can confirm that the VMnet2 has DHCP enabled, You can also verify the VMnet0 is configured as Bridged mode, so we should be good. You will be able to see all the details are now editable.In the pop up click on Change settings.To verify the DHCP services are enabled for the VMnet2, In VMware workstation ->Edit-> Virtual Network Editor. ![]() Just make sure that it has DHCP service enabled on it. Configure the Management interface.įor the first interface we will use for management, hence we will use VMnet2 host-only adapter. The first one (Port1) for the management, the second one (Port2)for the WAN, and the third one (Port3)for the LAN. Configure the network interface.Īs we have looked at the diagram, we don’t need all those 10 interfaces, instead, we will use three interfaces. The importing of the VM will begin.Īfter a few seconds, the FortiGate VM will be imported to the VMWare workstation with ten bridged interfaces. If you would like to change the location, you may do so here.Ĭlick on import. And the location where you want to save the VM files. The VMWare application will now open up, and it will prompt you to accept the license agreement.Īccept the license agreement and click on next. You will see a file called ‘FortiGate-VM64.ova’ right-click on it and click on open with VMware workstation. Open the downloaded file, and extract the files to a directory. Steps to install FortiGate virtual machine on VMware workstation. The VM’s in the LAN area will go out to the internet via the Fortigate firewall. The FortiGate firewall deployed on the VMware workstation, with three networks, internet connectivity, is provided by my local area network.
