Deploying FortiNAC in EVE-NG

First things first, you will need to download the KVM version of the FortiNAC-F.  You will also need a license for it & in this case, EVE-NG.

SSH to your EVE-NG server.  Once there, you will need to create a directory for FortiNAC

mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/fortinet-NAC

Download the FortiNAC KVM image from support.fortinet.com and unzip it.

You can see the .zip file I downloaded and the folder it created when I unzipped it on macOS.

Here, you can see the FNCKVM.qcow2 (The name caught me by suprise for a quick second 😀)

Next you will need to get your files on to the EVE-NG server.

Let’s go back to the SSH session.

cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/fortinet-NAC  – Change to the addons/qemu directory.
mv <your-uploaded-filename>.qcow2 virtioa.qcow2 Now we are going to rename the file we uploaded from the FNCKVM.qcow2 to virtioa.qcow2 using the mv command.

Now we are going to create a log disk

/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 virtiob.qcow2 40G

NOTE: The virtioA and virtioB names.

Now we are going to run the fixpermissions script.

/opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions

I next downloaded the FortiNAC logo from the stencil site.

You need to upload it to /opt/unetlab/html/images/icons .  You will want to use the 50 px format.

Now we log into the EVE-NG portal and deploy a Node.  It will show up under fortigate and you can swap the image.

Choose the fortinet-NAC image and the .png you uploaded.

Note:  Ensure you have at least 4 CPUs and 8GB or RAM.

Boom 💥 you are done.  Hope this helps.
