Restoring the previous configuration

Change the internal interface address if required. You can do this from the CLI using
the command:

config system interface

edit internal

set ip <address_ipv4mask>
set allowaccess {ping https ssh telnet http}

end

After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the
web-based manager and restore the configuration.
