How to configure FortiGate's built-in NAC functionalities

Discover Fortinet's capabilities in our "5-Min Fortinet" Series. These videos aren't about sales pitches; instead, they serve as comprehensive reviews, highlighting functionalities and features that we believe are crucial for your business.
Today, we are exploring how to leverage the built-in NAC features of the FortiGate in combination with FortiSwitch.
Most people don't know of these capabilities, and yet they can already solve the most basic network access control requirements. In this video, we will go through the set-up and we will configure some NAC rules as an example.

Thank you so much

excellent video, any chance you could make a video that describes how the onboarding vlan works, or how to create a NAC policy that is not using EMS tags, so that a blackhole VLAN can be assigned to the onboarding process?

We could do that! Thanks for the tip! I'll add it to the list

I have a really silly question, how to I import or apply the hardware list provided?

[@jetse.s]

Good question! You do not need to import the list in your FortiGate. The hardware list should already be present. It is just a matter of filling in the values in your NAC policy as shown at minute 2:59 😉
