- 02Add or edit devices
Drag and drop firewalls, switches, access points, and endpoints from the network shape library.
- 03Connect WAN and LAN segments
Draw links between the FortiGate's WAN ports and your ISP connections, and between LAN ports and switches.
- 04Define VLANs and subnets
Label each VLAN with its ID and subnet, and color-code traffic paths for clarity.

Questions about network diagram templates
What is a dual WAN VLAN topology with FortiGate?
It's a network design where a FortiGate firewall connects to two internet links (for redundancy or load balancing) and segments internal traffic into VLANs for security and performance.
Can I edit these examples for my own network?
Yes, every example opens in the diagram editor where you can change device models, IP addresses, VLAN IDs, and add or remove components.
How do I show WAN failover in the diagram?
You can use dashed lines or annotations to indicate the secondary WAN link, and add labels for SD-WAN policies or link monitoring.
Are these diagrams suitable for documentation?
Absolutely. They include standard network icons and can be exported to common formats for inclusion in network documentation or presentations.
Do I need to install any software?
No, the editor runs in your browser. You can create and modify diagrams without downloads or signup.
