New NSE8 Exam - NSE8_812

 Just a quick post today.

 Without any obvious fanfare Fortinet have released a new NSE8 exam - the NSE8_812.


You can still take the NSE8_811 up until March 31st which is about 2 1/2 months from now. The handbook at the time of writing still hasn't been updated so at this point I don't know what has changed.

Once the handbook is updated and the new blueprint is available, Ill update my NSE8 Topics page and write a post outlining the differences and my thoughts on that.

For now my plan is to sit the NSE8_811 ASAP so that I can get a look at the exam and a feel for where I am at with it. Hopefully my prep up till now is enough that I pass, but if it isn't I'm then leaving myself enough time to have another crack at it before March 31st.

Specifying a domain name suffix for DHCP clients on a FortiGate (FortiOS)

Image
Domain Name Suffix You can specify a domain name suffix in a DHCP address pool on the FortiGate DHCP server . With this suffix assigned, the client only needs to input part of a domain name, and the system adds the domain name suffix for name resolution. For example a client can type in https://fortimanager in their web browser to access your fortimanager instance, instead of the FQDN of https://fortimanager.domain.local In FortiOS (current as of December 2022) this is configured via the CLI.   Configuration config system dhcp server     edit <#>          set domain <domain suffix>   In a full context this would be config system dhcp server     edit 1          set domain "lab.example.com"          set default-gateway 192.168.1.1          set netmask 255.255.255.0          set interface "p...

FortiGate Firewall Policy Logging Settings

The three settings that can affect logging behavior on a FortiGate firewall policy are: The Log allowed traffic toggle The "Security Events" or "All Sessions" selection The available security profiles   The following table outlines the expected logging behavior when these different settings are combined: For example, enabling logging and selecting security events, while not enabling any security profiles, will result in no logs. You may as well have logging turned off.
