Set up VPN site-to-site between FortiGate on-prem and AWS. Send FortiGate logs to Splunk on AWS

This is a diagram that I have used for this demonstration.

Create your VPC.

Create a private subnet.

Create a new Internet Gateway and attach it to your VPC.

Create a new route to 0.0.0.0/0 to your Internet gateway.

Create a new Customer gateway with the public IP address of FortiGate.

Create a new Virtual Private Gateway and attach it to your VPC.

Create a new VPN site-to-site.

Click Download Configuration to configure on your FortiGate.

Log into FortiGate.

Interfaces.

Copies these commands and pastes them into FortiGate. Notes the set “mtu 1427” and set “mtu-override enable” does not available on FortiGate 6.2

Back to AWS and launch a new Linux VM instance. This machine is used to test VPN site-to-site.

Configure a new static route to allow LAN subnets on AWS to access LAN subnets on FortiGate.

On FortiGate, configure a new static route to AWS LAN subnets.

Configure access rules to allow FortiGate LAN subnets to communicate with AWS LAN subnets.

Pings from Kali machine to the Linux VM instance on AWS.

The IPSEC tunnel in FortiGate is up.

Back to AWS, the VPN tunnel is up.

Launches a new Windows 2016 VM instance to install Splunk.

On Security Group, add a couple of rules to allow ICMP and all traffic on FortiGate LAN subnets to access this instance.

RDP to Windows instance and disable Firewall to send logs from FortiGate.

Download Splunk Enterprise for Windows and install it into this instance.

Install FortiGate App for Splunk and Fortinet FortiGate Add on Splunk.

Click on the Settings tab and configure Splunk to get FortiGate logs. Select new Local UDP.

Enter 514 on the port setting. Be default, FortiGate is using UDP port 514 to send log to Syslog.

Select: fgt_log

App Context: Fortinet FortiGate App for Splunk

Method: IP

Index: Default

Check the UDP 514 port is running in the instance.

Back to FortiGate, configure Fortigate to send logs to Splunk on AWS. Enter the IP address of Splunk on the IP Address setting, and click choose All for “Event Logging” and “Local Logging”. Then, click Apply.

Log out of FortiGate and log back in to generate logs. If we may not see FortiGate logs on Splunk, we need to type the commands below to change the source-ip address to send log from using the “management interface” to using the LAN interface “172.16.1.254”

config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set mode udp
    set port 514
    set server "10.0.0.48"
    set source-ip "172.16.1.254"
end

Also, enable PING Access, HTTP, and HTTPS on tunnel 1 interface of FortiGate.

Splunk is able to ping the FortiGate LAN interface.

Back to the Splunk instance, now we are able to see logs from FortiGate.

Implementing Elastic Network Load Balancing on both FortiGates in multiple AZs

This is a diagram that is used to deploy this lab.

In this lab, we will use Elastic Load Balancer to distribute RDP traffic via Windows 2016 VM instances among the FortiGate in different AZs on AWS.

Below are a couple of steps that are used to deploy this lab.

  • Create your VPC, subnets, and route tables.
  • Launch FortiGate 1 on AZ 1 and FortiGate 2 on AZ 2.
  • Create both Windows 2016 VM on AZ 1 and AZ 2.
  • Configure DNAT to allow RDP traffic from the Internet to Windows Server 2016 instance on each AZ.
  • Configure Elastic Network Load Balancing on both FortiGates on multiple AZ.
  • RDP traffic has been distributed to Windows 2016 VM1 and VM2 via Elastic Network Load Balancing

Create a new VPC.

Create both Public subnet 1 and Private subnet 1 on the first Availability Zone.

Create new both Public subnet 2 and Private subnet 2 on the Availability zone 2

Create 4 route tables as in the diagram above.

Link the subnets to corresponding route tables.

Create a new FortiGate on AZ 1.

Security Group.

Create a new Elastic IP address and associate for the first FortiGate.

Launch the new FortiGate instance on AZ 2.

Rename to Fortinet Zone 1 Public subnet and Fortinet Zone 2 Public Subnet.

Create a new Fortinet Zone 1 Private subnet.

Attach this into the first FortiGate.

Create a new Fortinet Zone 2 Private subnet and attach it to FortiGate 2.

Uncheck “Change source/destination check” on all FortiGate interfaces.

Back to Route tables.

Create a new route 0.0.0.0/0 on Public Route table 1 via Fortinet Zone 1 Public subnet interface.

Create a new route 0.0.0.0/0 on Public Route table 2 via Fortinet Zone 2 Public subnet interface.

Create a new route 0.0.0.0/0 on Private Route table 1 via Fortinet Zone 1 Private subnet interface.

Create a new route 0.0.0.0/0 on Private Route table subnet 2 via Fortinet Zone 2 Private subnet interface.

Access FortiGate management interface.

The FortiGate 1.

Change the LAN setting for port 2.

Do the same with FortiGate 2.

Create two new Windows Server 2016 instances on AZ1 and AZ2.

Windows Security Group.

Launch the new one.

Go to FortiGate 1, and DNAT port 3389 to Windows Server 2016 VM 1 instance.

Create a new inbound policy to allow traffic from the Internet to Windows 2016 instance.

On FortiGate 2.

Create a new Firewall Policy.

Edit the Security Group to allow RDP to Windows 2016 VM 2 instance.

Access Windows VM 1.

Create Network Load Balancer on AWS for RDP traffic to Windows Server 2016 instance.

Select “IP address”.

Add IP addresses on the public subnet of both FortiGates on “register targets”.

Click Register targets.

Wait until the health states on both IP addresses are healthy.

Right-click on FortiGate-NLB-RDP and enable “Cross zone load balancing” to allow load balancing on multiple AZ.

Set the same Windows password for both Windows 2016 instances.

Access RDP to the highlighted DNS name on NLB.

An RDP session will access Windows Server VM 1 or VM 2 via Elastic Load Balancing.

We are able to configure both web servers on Windows server 2016 VMs and distribute web traffic via Windows 2016 VM instances among the FortiGate in different AZs on AWS.

Building a customized Docker image using Docker compose

In this lab, I will explain how to use Docker compose to build your customized Docker image.

+ Create your sample docker file.

This tells Docker to:
Build an image starting with the Debian 10 image.
Label the container with your email address.
Install Apache web service and PHP module.
Remove the default index.html on the Apache web server document root directory.
Copy a new index.php file and your customized image to the Apache document root directory on the docker container.
Run the command hostname and apachectl -DFOREGROUND runs in the foreground.
Image to describe that the container is listening on port 80.

root@docker01:~# cat Dockerfile 
FROM debian:10
LABEL maintainer="xyz@my.bcit.ca"
#COPY index.php /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
#COPY index.php /var/www/html
#RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install apache2
RUN apt update && apt -y install apt-utils systemd && apt-get -y install libapache2-mod-php
RUN rm /var/www/html/index.html
COPY index.php /var/www/html
COPY tung.jpg /var/www/html
#CMD apachectl -D FOREGROUND
CMD hostname TungA012345678 && apachectl -D FOREGROUND
EXPOSE 80

+ Create an index.php file with your customized information.

root@docker01:~# cat index.php 
<?php
$yourname = "Tung Blog!";
$yourstudentnumber = "A123456789";
$image="tung.jpg"; // this must be included and uploaded as yourpic.jpg in your docker image (Dockerfile)
$uname=php_uname();
$all_your_output = <<<HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>$yourname - $yourstudentnumber</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>$yourname - $yourstudentnumber</h1>
<img src="/$image">
<div>$uname</div>
</body>
<html>
HTML;
echo $all_your_output;
?>

+ Build your app with Docker Compose.

docker build -t tung-a01234567 .

+ Run your app with Docker compose.

docker run -d -p 80:80 --cap-add sys_admin -dit tung-a01234567
---
-- -d starts docker in daemon mode, in the foreground.
-- -d p 80:80 listening the port 80 on docker container 
-- -cap-add sys_admin: basically root access to the host.
-- -dit: it is used for getting access to terminal inside a docker container. In this example is tung-a01234567.

Check your application is running on a Docker container.

docker container ps -a

Connect to the Apache website with PHP module on the docker container.

Using Docker compose to deploy WordPress

I have demonstrated to use Ansible to deploy WordPress (https://tungle.ca/?p=1252). However, it is more efficient to use Docker compose to deploy WordPress.

+ Download the Latest Docker Version.

curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

+ Change file permission & check docker version.

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker–compose --version

+ Create a sample docker-compose.yml file.

Use the following link as a reference to create the docker-compose file.

https://docs.docker.com/samples/wordpress/

Port forwarding the destination port 5547 on the docker node to port 80 on a docker container.

Limit 2GB memory for running WordPress.

+ Deploy WordPress by using Docker compose.

docker-compose up -d

Check a TCP port 5547 is running on the docker node.

Access to WordPress.

Install Docker Swarm Cluster on Debian 10

This is diagram is used to deploy the 3 nodes Docker swarm.

On three nodes: docker01, docker02, and docker03.

apt-get update

Install Docker CE on Debian 10.

apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

Add Docker GPG key and Docker repository.

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | apt-key add -
add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Install Docker Engine

apt-get update
apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli

Enable and start Docker daemon.

systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker

+ Initialize Docker Swarm Cluster on node 1: docker01

docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.5.46

Join docker02 and docker03 to the cluster.

Create a custom httpd image with the listening port is 8847.

We can check if the worker nodes have joined to cluster successfully using the command below:

docker node ls

+ Deploy Applications on Docker Swarm

Below is an example to deploy an Apache web service with the listening port is 8847 and service name is tunghttp

docker service create --name tunghttp -p 8847:80 httpd

+ Scale Applications on Docker Swarm to have high availability and high performance on 3 nodes.

docker service scale tunghttp=3
docker service ps tunghttp

Create a new index.html file on the docker host. Then, copy the file to the Apache webserver directory as a screenshot below.

<html>
<head>
<title>Tung A01</title> 
</head>
<body>
	<h1 Welcome to the web server that is deployed by Docker </h1>
	<img src="http://imagefromtheinternet.jpg">
</body>
</html>

Open the web browser and access the web server via port 8847 on three Docker IP addresses.

Check three nodes.

 docker node ls

Check the 8847 port is running on the Docker node.

netstat -ant | grep 8847

Deploying FortiGate HA by using CloudFormation on AWS

This is a diagram to deploy FortiGate HA by using CloudFormation on AWS.

Create a new VPC.

Create a public subnet.

Create a private subnet.

Create a subnet for Synchronization between both FGs.

Create a new subnet for FortiGate management.

Public subnet: 10.0.0.0/24

Private subnet: 10.0.1.0/24

FGSync subnet: 10.0.3.0/24

FGHA mgmt subnet: 10.0.4.0/24

Create a new Internet gateway, and attach it to your VPC.

Create a new public route.

Edit the public route, and add a new default route to your internet gateway.

Associate both public and HAmgmt subnet into the public route.

Create a new key pair.

Create a new bucket, and leave the settings by default.

Go to the GitHub of Fortinet, and download a json file for the existing VPC as a screenshot below.

https://github.com/fortinet/aws-cloudformation-templates/tree/main/FGCP/7.0/SingleAZ
Go to CloudFormation on AWS, click to create a new stack to deploy FortiGate HA.

Upload the template into this stack.

Enter your stack name, VPCID, VPCCIDR, and link public, private, sync, HAmgmt to corresponding subnets.

Will choose the minimize instance type for the lab is c5.xlarge.

Copy Public route table ID into the publicsubnetroutetableID.

The license is PAYG.

Click Next and accept the settings by default.

Click create stack. It will take a couple of minutes to complete.

On Output, copy all information to notepad to keep track.

There are three Elastic IP addresses that have been created on your VPC.

This is a master FG.

It will link to a default Security Group that has been created when creating a stack.

Wait until both FGs are checked passed.

Access the Primary HA FG via cluster IP address.

Both access rules have been automatically created when creating a stack.

Access the FG1, FG2 via mgmt IP address.

Check HA status.

FG1.

On FG2, there is only an elastic IP address.

Update the Elastic IP address.

Notes Network interface ID of FortiGate.

Edit and add a new route on the private subnet route to route all traffic on the subnet to network interface of the master FG

On FG2, open the console and type the command below.

diagnose debug application awsd -1
diagnose debug enable

On FG1, click instance state and stop the instance.

The Cluster IP address has been successfully moved to FG2.

On S3 bucket, we can see there are two config files for FG1 and FG2 have been created when installing a stack.

It only supports unicast for a heartbeat on AWS.

Refresh the cluster IP management access.

FG2 has become the Primary for HA.

The route has been updated to use a private network instance on FG2.

Also, we can see all interfaces have been disabled for “Change source/destination check”.

To terminate the lab, go to stack and delete the stack that has been created for the lab.
