     • FortiGate 80F unit
     • Power adapter
     • Ethernet cables
     • Mounting hardware (if applicable)
     • Documentation and setup guide
2. Connectivity:
   • Identify the WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), and DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) ports on the FortiGate 80F.
   • Connect the appropriate network cables to these ports based on your network architecture.
3. Power On:
   • Connect the power adapter to the FortiGate 80F and plug it into a power source.
   • Power on the device and wait for it to complete the boot-up process. You can monitor the status using the indicator lights on the unit.

Initial Configuration:

1. Access Web Interface:
   • Open a web browser and enter the default IP address of the FortiGate 80F (e.g., https://192.168.1.99).
   • Log in using the default credentials (usually “admin” for both username and password).
2. Initial Setup Wizard:
   • Follow the prompts of the setup wizard to configure basic settings:
     • Set the system name and administrator password.
     • Configure the time zone and date/time settings.
3. Network Configuration:
   • Set up the WAN and LAN interfaces:
     • Assign IP addresses to the interfaces.
     • Define DHCP settings if applicable.
     • Configure any additional interfaces based on your network design.
4. Security Policies:
   • Define security policies to control traffic flow. This includes inbound and outbound rules based on source, destination, and services.
   • Implement firewall rules, NAT (Network Address Translation), and security profiles (antivirus, intrusion prevention, etc.).
5. Update Firmware:
   • Check for firmware updates in the web interface.
   • Download and apply the latest firmware to ensure security patches and feature enhancements.
6. VPN Configuration (Optional):
   • If your organization requires VPN connectivity, configure VPN settings:
     • Set up IPsec or SSL VPN tunnels.
     • Define VPN users and access policies.
7. Monitoring and Logging:
   • Configure logging settings to capture events and monitor network activity.
   • Set up alerts for critical events.
8. User Authentication (Optional):
   • If applicable, configure user authentication:
     • Integrate with LDAP or RADIUS for centralized user management.
     • Implement two-factor authentication for additional security.
9. Wireless Configuration (Optional):
   • If the FortiGate 80F has wireless capabilities, configure wireless settings, including SSID, security protocols, and access controls.
10. Testing:
    • Perform thorough testing to ensure that the firewall is functioning as expected.
    • Test internet access, VPN connections, and the enforcement of security policies.

Hello everyone, in this video I am going to install mikrotik router os on hyper-v and after that I will be configure routerOS to provide internet access for clients by configuring dhcp server , create a nat rule , setup pptp vpn server. Ok lets start

1. Hardware Requirements:
   • MikroTik router device (such as a MikroTik RouterBOARD)
   • Ethernet cables
   • Computer with an Ethernet port
   • Power source for the router
2. Initial Setup:
   • Connect the MikroTik router to a power source and to your computer using an Ethernet cable. The router usually has a default IP address for the initial configuration, such as 192.168.88.1. Ensure that your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP.
3. Access the Router:
   • Open a web browser on your computer and enter the default IP address of the MikroTik router in the address bar (e.g., http://192.168.88.1).
   • You should see the MikroTik login page. The default username is “admin,” and there is no password by default. It is crucial to change the default password during the initial setup for security reasons.
4. Basic Configuration:
   • Once logged in, you can start configuring the router. Here are some basic configurations:
     • Set a strong password for the “admin” user.
     • Set the router’s hostname.
     • Configure the time zone.
     • Set the DNS servers.
5. LAN Configuration:
   • Configure the LAN (Local Area Network) settings, including the IP address and subnet mask for the router’s LAN interface.
   • You can create DHCP server pools to assign IP addresses to devices on your local network automatically.
6. WAN Configuration:
   • Configure the WAN (Wide Area Network) interface, which could be connected to your internet service provider (ISP). This often involves configuring the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers provided by your ISP.
   • Set up NAT (Network Address Translation) if you have multiple devices on your LAN and want them to share a single public IP address.
7. Firewall Configuration:
   • Create firewall rules to control incoming and outgoing traffic. MikroTik routers have a powerful firewall system that allows you to filter and control traffic based on various criteria.
8. Security and Access Control:
   • Configure access control lists (ACLs) to restrict or allow specific traffic.
   • Enable SSH or secure Winbox access for remote management and disable insecure services like Telnet.
9. Additional Features:
   • Depending on your needs, you can configure various additional features such as VPNs, VLANs, QoS (Quality of Service), routing protocols, and more.
10. Save and Backup Configuration:
    • After configuring your MikroTik router, make sure to save your configuration settings and create regular backups. This can be done through the router’s web interface.
11. Testing:
    • Test your network to ensure everything is working as expected. Check internet connectivity, LAN connectivity, and any specific services or features you’ve configured.
12. Documentation:
    • Keep thorough documentation of your MikroTik router’s configuration, including any changes you make over time. This will be helpful for troubleshooting and future reference.
