FortiGate_7 Configuration

   Step 3:  Go to Network on OSPF and assign the Router ID

   Step 4: Go to Areas click on “Create New” and give the OSPF Area in my Case 0.0.0.0



   Step 5: Go to Networks click on “Create New” and advertise your connected/Internal Networks



   Step 6: Go to Interfaces and click on “Create New”.

   Step 7: Give the Name and select the Interface with Matching Hello and Dead Interval



Note: In my case, Hello is 10 and Dead is 40 because I need to match with the Cisco. I have not added the Fortigate_5 OSPF as it is the same as FortiGate_7 only the subnets need to be changed.
