Configuring the FortiGate Unit
Web-based Manager
Connect the FortiGate internal interface to a management computer Ethernet interface.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through
Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.
Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal
interface of the FortiGate unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management
computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to
https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).
Type admin in the Name field and select Login.
NAT/Route mode

For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and any required settings.
For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and enter the username and password
and any other required settings.
To configure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses
Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP ad-
dresses that you recorded above and select Apply.
To configure a Default Gateway
Go to Router > Static and select Edit icon for the static route.
Set Gateway to the Default Gateway IP address you recorded above and select OK.
Transparent mode
To switch from NAT/route mode to transparent mode
Go to System > Config > Operation Mode and select Transparent.
Set the Management IP/Netmask to 192.168.1.99/24.
Set a default Gateway and select Apply.
To change the administrator password
Go to System > Admin > Administrators.

set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>
set allowaccess {http|https|ssh|ping|snmp|telnet}
end
Configure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end

config router static
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
Transparent Mode
Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and configure the Management IP
address.
config system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip <mng_ip>/<netmask>
