FGTENT-006 DR Config with CLI | FortiGate Firewall Configuration Step by Step
In this video, I demonstrate a real-world Disaster Recovery (DR) firewall build process using FortiGate.
Instead of configuring everything from scratch, I show how to extract the existing Data Center (DC) firewall configuration from the CLI, rewrite and adapt it, and then apply it to the DR firewall.
This approach reflects how DR environments are actually built in production networks.
You’ll see the full DR firewall configuration completed and ready for further routing and failover integration.
🔧 What’s covered in this video:
Extracting FortiGate configuration from CLI
Understanding which sections of config need modification for DR
Rewriting DC configuration for DR firewall deployment
Interface, routing, and base policy adjustments
Building DR in a clean, structured, and repeatable way
Best practices for DC → DR firewall migration
🧠 Why this matters:
Saves time during DR setup
Reduces configuration errors
Aligns with real enterprise DR design
Prepares the environment for BGP, failover, and traffic steering
🔬 Lab Environment:
FortiGate Firewall (EVE-NG)
DC & DR topology
Dual-ISP ready design
Enterprise-style firewall configuration
🚀 What’s coming next:
BGP integration with DR
Route filtering and manipulation
Failover and resiliency design
Branch and multi-site connectivity
