Analyze a FortiGate route table
Route packets using policy-based and static routes for multipath and load -balanced deployments
Configure SD-WAN to load balance traffic between multiple WAN links effectively
Inspect traffic transparently, forwarding as a Layer 2 device
Divide FortiGate into two or more virtual devices, each operating as an independent FortiGate, by configuring virtual domains (VDOMs)
Establish an IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGate devices
Implement a meshed or partially redundant VPN
Diagnose failed IKE exchanges
Offer Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO) access to network services, integrated with Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
