Chapter 2 Advanced Routing for FortiOS 5.0 : Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) : Advanced inter-area OSPF example : Network layout and assumptions : Assumptions
  
Assumptions
The FortiGate units used in this example have interfaces named port1, port2, and port3.
All FortiGate units in this example have factory default configuration, and are in NAT/Route mode.
During configuration, if settings are not directly referred to they will be left at default settings.
Basic firewalls are in place to allow unfiltered traffic between all connected interfaces in both directions.
This OSPF network is not connected to any other OSPF areas outside of this example.
The Internet connection is always available.
Other devices may be on the network, but do not affect this configuration.
