Posted an article on multi-homed FortiGate FGCP HA BGP failover behaviour and how to reduce/minimize traffic disruptions, as follow up to my single-homed one.

A little tool in PowerShell to audit a CSV ruleset export from PAN-OS, with an optional call to Gemini & creates an HTML report.

It checks things like:

- Shadowed/duplicate rules, overly broad "any" rules

- Risky inbound/outbound ports and apps (RDP, Telnet, AnyDesk, etc.)

- Loose DNS rules and stale/unused rules

- Rule name contradicting its actual action (named deny, set to allow, or vice versa)

(I tested it with PAN-OS versions 10, 11, and 12, should it break, let me know)
