Creating network security groups

Creating network security groups

Create two network security groups:

  • The first security group must have inbound rules allowing for HTTPS, SSH traffic, and OFTP.
  • The second security group must have inbound rules allowing for FTP and RDP.
To create network security groups in Azure:
  1. In the Azure portal, click Network security groups in the left pane.
  2. Click Add to create a new network security group for the management port subnet.

  3. Enter the following information:

    Subscription

    Select a subscription type.

    Resource group

    Select the resource group you created in the Creating a resource group step.

    Name

    Name of the network security group.

    Region

    Select the location you used when you set up the resource group.

  4. Repeat these steps to create a second network security group for the FortiSandbox port2 subnet.
  5. Go to the security groups and configure the inbound rules:
    • Network security group one: HTTPS (TCP 443), SSH traffic (TCP 22), OFTP traffic (TCP 514), and optional: ICAP traffic (TCP 1344), ICAP over SSL (TCP 11344).
    • Network security group two: FTP (TCP 21) and RDP (TCP 3389).
Note

Alternatively, you can create only one network security group with the inbound rules allowing for HTTPS, SSH traffic, OFTP, FTP, and RDP.
