Adding the NAT multicast policy
In this example, the incoming multicast policy does the address translation.
The NAT address should be the same as the IP address of the of loopback interface. The DNAT address is the translated address, which should be a new group.
config firewall multicast-policy edit 1
set dstintf port6
set srcintf lo0 next
edit 2
set dnat 238.1.1.1 set dstintf lo0
set nat 1.4.50.4 set srcintf port1
next
Configuration steps
In this sample, FortiGate-500A_1 is the RP for the group 228.1.1.1, 237.1.1.1, 238.1.1.1, and FortiGate-500A_4 is the RP for the other group which has a priority of1. OSPF is used in this example to distribute routes including the loopback interface. All firewalls have full mesh security policies to allow any to any.
- In the FortiGate-500A_1 configuration, the NAT policy translates source address 236.1.1.1 to 237.1.1.1
- In the FortiGate-500A_4, configuration, the NAT policy translates source 236.1.1.1 to 238.1.1.1
- Source 236.1.1.1 is injected into network as well.
The following procedures include the CLI commands for configuring each of the FortiGate units in the example configuration.
To configure FortiGate-500A_1
1. Configure multicast routing.
config router multicast config interface
edit port5
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit port4
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit lan
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit port1
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit lo999
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit lo0
set pim-mode sparse-mode set rp-candidate enable set rp-candidate-group 1
next end
set multicast-routing enable config pim-sm-global
set bsr-candidate enable set bsr-interface lo0
end end
2. Add multicast security policies.
config firewall multicast-policy edit 1
set dstintf port5 set srcintf port4
next edit 2
set dstintf port4 set srcintf port5
next edit 3 next
end
3. Add router access lists.
config router access-list edit 1
config rule edit 1
set prefix 228.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 set exact-match enable
next edit 2
set prefix 237.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 set exact-match enable
next edit 3
set prefix 238.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 set exact-match enable
next end
next end
To configure FortiGate-500A_2
1. Configure multicast routing.
config router multicast config interface
edit “lan”
set pim-mode sparse-mode
next
edit “port5”
set pim-mode sparse-mode
next
edit “port2”
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit “port4”
set pim-mode sparse-mode next
edit “lo_5”
set pim-mode sparse-mode config join-group
edit 236.1.1.1 next
end next
end
set multicast-routing enable end
2. Add multicast security policies.
config firewall multicast-policy edit 1
set dstintf lan set srcintf port5
next edit 2
set dstintf port5 set srcintf lan
next edit 4
set dstintf lan set srcintf port2
next edit 5
set dstintf port2 set srcintf lan
next edit 7
set dstintf port1 set srcintf port2
next edit 8
set dstintf port2 set srcintf port1
next edit 9
set dstintf port5 set srcintf port2
next edit 10
set dstintf port2 set srcintf port5
next edit 11
set dnat 237.1.1.1 set dstintf lo_5 set nat 5.5.5.5
set srcintf port2 next
edit 12
set dstintf lan set srcintf lo_5
next edit 13
set dstintf port1 set srcintf lo_5
next edit 14
set dstintf port5 set srcintf lo_5
next edit 15
set dstintf port2 set srcintf lo_5
next edit 16 next
end
