Route RPKI validation April 1st, 2022
RPKI is a security framework by which network owners can validate and secure the critical route updates or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) announcements between public Internet networks. BGP is essentially the central nervous system of the Internet and one of its fundamental building blocks. The main function of BGP is to facilitate efficient routing between Autonomous Systems (AS), by building and maintaining the Internet routing table. The Internet routing table is effectively the navigation system of the Internet and without it, traffic would be unable to flow between its constituent networks. Unfortunately, routing equipment alone cannot distinguish between legitimate and malicious routing announcements,...
RIPE – Atlas Anchor February 17th, 2022
We have become an even more integral part of the RIPE Atlas project by hosting an anchor, a device that allows for latency analysis of traffic between autonomous systems.https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/7073/RIPE Atlas anchors play an integral role in the RIPE Atlas network by acting both as enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. Anchors are able to perform many more measurements than a regular RIPE Atlas probe, and the large amount of data they collect is made available to everyone. In addition, anchors act as powerful targets that can...
MANRS June 20th, 2020
GOLINE firmly believes in initiatives to protect networks, improve security and resilience of the global routing system.

FortiNet FortiGate FGT40 hard reset for factory default

Caparrelli Paolo FortiGate 15 June 2023

Did you get stuck on the FortiGate FGT40?
Now I'll explain the reset procedure…. After sweating seven shirts :)
There is a reset button behind it, but it should be pressed only in the correct sequence, otherwise the procedure does not work.

1- Disconnect the power supply
2- Prepare a paper clip or a pen with a fine point.
3- Reconnect the power
4- Wait for the Status LED to start blinking (5 times).
5- Hold down the reset button until it reboots.

You have now performed a factory reset of FortiGate FGT40.
Connect on LAN interface 1 and you should receive an IP address via DHCP of network 192.168.1.0/24.
Check with a ping that IP 192.168.1.99 is responding.
Now you can connect to https://192.168.1.99.
Use the admin user without a password. It will have you set a password right away.
Finally you can reload the backup (which of course you will have done) and the FortiGate will reboot with the new configuration.
