Launching FortiVoice-VM from EC2 Console

This section describes how to launch a FortiVoice-VM from the EC2 Management Console.

Before proceeding, make sure that you have configured a VPC to use with the FortiVoice-VM. For details, see Configuring a Virtual Private Cloud.

1. Go to the Amazon EC2 console.
2. From the EC2 Management Console, under Create Instance, click Launch Instance.
3. For Step 1: Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), click AWS Marketplace, and in the Search field, type FortiVoice and press Enter.
   
4. To the right of Fortinet FortiVoice for AWS, click Select.
5. Review the details of the Fortinet FortiVoice image, and then click Continue.
6. For Step 2: Choose an Instance Type, select an instance type that is appropriate for your intended usage, and then click Next: Configure Instance Details.
7. For Step 3: Configure Instance Details, set the attributes for your instance:
1. In the Network drop-down list, select your VPC.
2. In the Subnet drop-down list, select the subnet associated to your VPC.
3. In the Auto-assign Public IP drop-down list, select Enable.
8. Under Network interfaces, for Primary IP, type 192.168.1.99.
9. Click Next: Add Storage.
   
10. For Step 4: Add Storage, add additional storage if needed.
11. Click Next: Add Tags.
12. For Step 5: Add Tags, provide any tags that will aid you in managing your FortiVoice-VM instance, and then click Next: Configure Security Group.
13. For Step 6: Configure Security Group, define a set of firewall rules that control the traffic for your instance. Select an existing security group or create a new security group. If you select Create a new security group, a security group is generated for you based on recommended settings for the FortiVoice instance.
1. To access the FortiVoice Web UI, add rule types HTTP and HTTPS to the security group.
2. To access the FortiVoice CLI, add rule type SSH to the security group.

    Make sure to store the key pair in a secure and accessible location. You will not be able to download the file again after it's created. You will need to provide the name of your key pair when you launch an instance and the corresponding private key each time you connect to the instance.

    2. Click Download Key Pair.
