FortiGate, like other security appliances, cannot analyze encrypted HTTPS traffic unless itdecryptsit first. Ifonly certificate inspectionis enabled, FortiGate can see the certificate details (such as the domain and issuer) butcannot inspect the actual web content.

To fully analyze the traffic and detect potential malware threats:

●Full SSL inspection (Deep Packet Inspection)must be enabled in theSSL/SSH Inspection Profile.

● This allows FortiGate todecrypt the HTTPS traffic, inspect the content, and then re-encrypt it before forwarding it to the user.

● Without full SSL inspection, threats embedded in encrypted traffic may go undetected.

Zero phase selectors inIPsec Phase 2mean thatno specific traffic selectors (subnets) are defined, allowingany traffic to be encryptedthrough the VPN tunnel. This can causeunintended traffic forwarding issuesand disrupt network operations.

To prevent this from happening during future migrations:

●Using routing protocolsensures thatonly specific subnets are advertised over the tunnel. Dynamic routing (such as OSPF or BGP) helps define which networks should use the tunnel, preventing unintended traffic from being encrypted.

●Clearly defining phase 2 selectorsavoids the problem of encrypting all traffic byexplicitly stating the allowed source and destination subnets. This prevents the tunnel from affecting unrelated network traffic.

The diagram shows a FortiGate connected to two FortiSwitches, which suggests the use ofFortiLink, Fortinet's protocol for managing switches directly from a FortiGate. Since multiple connections are being used, the LAN interface must be set to802.3ad (LAG)mode to aggregate the links for redundancy and load balancing.

This setup allows FortiGate to handle VLAN assignments dynamically, as seen withVLAN 10 (192.168.15.1/24). FortiLink ensures seamless integration between FortiGate and FortiSwitches, making STP unnecessary because Fortinet'sMCLAGprevents loops at Layer 2. SD-WAN, on the other hand, is used for WAN interfaces and does not apply to switch connectivity in this scenario.
