(Optional) Firewall Vendor Integration

Integrating a FortiGate firewall with Aviatrix CoPilot enables the Controller to make automatic route updates to the FortiGate routing tables. You may also manually enable the integration with your cloud management tools. FortiGate integration is supported in AWS, Azure, and GCP clouds.

Integrate the FortiGate firewall with Aviatrix CoPilot:

  1. Generate a Firewall API Token from FortiGate. This token is required to integrate the FortiGate firewall with the Controller.

  2. In the FortiGate UI, go to System > Admin Profiles > Create New.

  3. Enable the Read/Write option for Network and click OK.

  4. Navigate to System > Administrators > Create New > REST API Admin.

  5. Supply a Username and choose the Admin Profile from the previous step, and click OK.

  6. Copy the generated token. It will only be displayed once.

  7. Go to Aviatrix CoPilot > Security > FireNet and complete the vendor integration.
