Before you start
Before you start installing FortiEDR Collectors on the communicating device, make sure the device meets the following requirements:
- Connectivity to a Local Area Network (for wired users) or a Wireless Network (for wireless users). If there is no connectivity, consult your IT support person.
- Connectivity to the FortiEDR Reputation Server at
35.186.218.233. - Ports 555, 8081 and 443, which are used by FortiEDR Core, FortiEDR Aggregator and FortiEDR Central Manager respectively, are not blocked by your firewall product (if one is deployed).
As a security best practice, it is recommended to update the firewall rules so that they only have a narrow opening. For example:- Only open the TCP outbound port 555 to the Core IP address.
- Only open the TCP outbound port 8081 to the Aggregator IP address.
- Connectivity to the FortiEDR Core and the FortiEDR Aggregator. You can check this by browsing to the Core’s IP address and the Aggregator’s IP address. For problems connecting, see Troubleshooting.
