Configure L2 connectivity
Private network a server in an A-DC and a dedicated server from the same pool
Within one pool a server hosted in the A data center, and dedicated server can be combined into a private (local) network at the L2 level.
Network connectivity is provided through the FortiGate, which is housed in the A data center, and Selectel networking equipment.
The dedicated server and firewall are connected to Selectel LAN switches and a common VLAN is assigned to their ports. Direct switching with the FortiGate is only possible for servers that are located in an A data center.
Dedicated servers (except some Chipcore Line servers) are by default connected to Selectel LAN switches and are included in a dedicated VLAN. To see which VLAN is assigned to a port, see the control panel on the server page → tab Ports. The server in the A data center does not connect to Selectel LAN switches by default, but connects to the FortiGate directly.
When you request to LAN a dedicated server and a server in the A data center, the FortiGate is assigned a port on the Selectel LAN switch and assigned the same VLAN as the dedicated server. The FortiGate port is allocated free of charge.

Private network a server in A-DC and a dedicated server
- В control panels create ticket with a request to organize a private network between devices. Specify:
- identifier a dedicated server;
- The FortiGate firewall number of the FortiGate firewall in the A data center. The number is listed on the unit card in the control panels in the format (neXXX);
- The local port number on the FortiGate unit to connect to.
- Wait for an answer about organizing a private network in a ticket.
- Configure the FortiGate.
- Configure a dedicated server.
Configure FortiGate
Configure the IPv4 address of the private network to be used as the default gateway.
- Open the FortiGate web interface.
- Go to the section Network → Interfaces.
- Click Create New → Interface to create a new logical interface.
- Specify Type — Software Switch.
- In the field Address Specify the desired IP address from the private subnet (e.g.
192.168.100.1/24
). - In the field Interface members Add physical ports that have connectivity:
- to a server in the A data center, which is aggregated into a private network;
- to a Selectel LAN switch.
Set up a dedicated server
The LAN for the dedicated server is fed to the network interface with the highest MAC address value.
- On the network interface of the dedicated server, configure a private IPv4 from the private subnet range that is specified in the field Address when configuring the FortiGate.
- Set the FortiGate interface address as the default gateway.
