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.

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.
