Configuring port forwarding and routing

You will first need to port forward the WAN1 camera in the FortiGate branch.

  2. Click Create New and Virtual IP.

  5. Enable Port Forwarding and select OK.
    Note

    The External Service Port range is required during camera configuration. See Configuring the cameras.

  2. Click Create New and Virtual IP Group.

  3. Enter a name for the group.
  4. Select the cameras in the group from the Members section.
