Fortinet Routing & Firewall Design

A property's network needs to connect the right systems and control access between them. IMS incorporates Fortinet equipment into network designs for homes and business properties, coordinating the firewall with internet service, wired connections and the systems it supports.

Start with the Network's Responsibilities

Workstations, guest devices, cameras and building controls may have different access requirements. We review those requirements with the owner and, for business projects, the responsible IT team before defining the network configuration.

FortiGate products provide routing and firewall functions, with security capabilities determined by the model, software and selected services. Equipment selection follows the property's connections, traffic and administration needs.

Define Access between Systems

Network segmentation can establish separate arrangements for staff, guests and connected equipment. The configuration also needs to preserve the communication that cameras, controls and entertainment systems require.

IMS coordinates these dependencies within the installation scope. For a business with an existing IT provider, we establish how the new equipment will fit the current network and who will administer it.

Make Licensing and Handoff Clear

Hardware, subscription services and ongoing administration are distinct parts of a network plan. We identify the selected functions, license terms and responsibilities for configuration, updates and access.

The handoff should make it clear who manages the equipment and how support will be handled. Ongoing service arrangements are discussed for the property and the systems installed.

Coordinate the Firewall with the Building

A firewall is one part of the installation. Switching, wireless access, cabling and equipment locations also shape how the network serves the property. We coordinate those connections with the construction team and other system scopes.

Learn about network infrastructure, structured wiring and prewire, and business security systems.

Planning a Fortinet Installation

Can IMS review an existing Fortinet network?

The review begins with the installed model, available configuration information, current administration access and the changes you need. We identify the affected connections before proposing equipment or policy changes.

What is included in ongoing support?

The agreed scope defines support, updates and administration. Security monitoring and incident response require their own defined services; the presence of a firewall alone does not establish them.
