FortiGate-1000A/FA2 Administration Guide
In a hub-and-spoke network, all VPN tunnels terminate at the hub. The peers that
connect to the hub are known as "spokes". The hub functions as a concentrator on the
network, managing all VPN connections between the spokes. VPN traffic passes from
one tunnel to the other through the hub.
You define a concentrator to include spokes in the hub-and-spoke configuration.
To define a concentrator
1 Go to VPN > IPSEC > Concentrator.
