As others have said, go 5.6.x instead of 6.0.x. Your switches will need to be at 3.6.8 (not 6.0.x).

Your company or your customer has to give you the ability to create support tickets with Fortinet. That's just a requirement.

I wouldn't worry about the NSE 3 training. Everything below NSE 4 is pretty non-technical.

Check out Fortinet's own forum as well.

I realize its gigantic, but reading through the FortiOS Handbook can really help. It's a little dated, but if you wanted a quicker intro to Fortinet mindset and configs, UTM Security with Fortinet is good. Just realize it was written a couple versions back.

What else you focus on really depends on what else you need to implement. For example:

  • Wan facing servers - DOS policies, VIP, and remember to use match-vip in security policies
  • Deep inspection - Certificate setup, whitelists, and separate security policies using Internet Service Database for services/sites that do certificate pinning
  • Failover (not SD-WAN) - link-monitor, route priority, policy routes, etc.

    I'd recommend putting your interfaces in zones, even just a single interface, and only creating security policies for the zones. Makes changing things later much easier.

    If you've got specific things you're working on, the forums are great places to get pointers.

    Good luck!

Really hard to follow what you're saying but I assume you're looking for a non-fortigate branch router thats cheap and good enough for a few devices per branch.

Fortinet 30E hardware only without licenses can be purchased for ~$300.

If you already use Fortinet this will keep things simple due to the configuration being the same.

If you need cheaper look at Netgate, Cisco Small Business (RV320), Ubiquiti Edge Router, Mikrotik.

There doesn't seem to be any SKU. Here's the link to the product.

I just want the AV, IPS and etc. definitions to be updated to the most recent version available at the time of purchase. I won't even turn those features on for the wired subnets as I have extremely strict content filtering rule needs, however I may turn it on for the wireless subnet but that doesn't constitute a year's worth of subscription. Having them updated at time I get a hold of the equipment should only be the norm.

Having the ability to be able to update the firmware within 1 year from purchase should also be the norm.

You're probably looking for something like this, which has been a lifesaver for me. There's also variations that don't block all the light but dims it significantly.
