Building a server behind the FortiGate

To build a server behind the FortiGate:
  1. From the mycloud portal server creation page, scroll down to Advanced Options.
  2. Click Select Networks...
  3. Ensure that PublicNet is not selected.
  4. Select the cloud network that has the name of your server.
  5. (Optional) Enable ServiceNet if you use Rackspace products such as Cloud Backups or Cloud Files.

The server now builds without a public IP address. However, since NAT is configured on the FortiGate-VM, the server can connect outbound to the Internet.
