QuickStart Guide
Web-based manager
The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool.
Use it to congure the administrator password, the interface and default gateway addresses,
and the DNS server addresses.
Requirements:
• An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer.
• A web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer on the management computer.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to congure the administrator password,
the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To
congure advanced settings, see the Tools and Documentation CD included with the
FortiGate unit.
Requirements:
• The RJ-45 to DB9 serial connection between the FortiGate unit and management com-
puter.
• A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management
computer.
Conguration Tools
Connect the following to the FortiGate unit. Ensure the FortiGate unit is placed on a stable
surface.
• Insert a network cable to the ports on the FortiGate unit. Insert the other end to the
router connected to the Internet, or to the modem.
• Connect a network cable to port 1. Insert the other end to a computer or switch.
• Connect the AC Power Cord to the Power Supply.
• Connect the redundant DC Power Supply to the FortiGate unit if applicable.
• Connect the Power Cord to a surge protected power bar or power supply.
Note: Only use a Fortinet-qualied DC power supply for the DC power connection.
Caution: Please consult an professional electrician before connecting this product to a
DC power supply source, or hire a licensed electrician to perform all connections.
Caution: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used
Batteries According to the Instructions.
Power Requirements: AC 100-240V, 60-50Hz, 5-3A

Web-based Manager
1. 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.
2. Congure 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.
3. 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://).
4. Type admin in the Name eld and select Login.
NAT/Route mode
To change the administrator password
1. Go to System > Admin > Administrators.
2. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To congure interfaces
1. Go to System > Network > Interface.
2. Select the edit icon for each interface to congure.
3. Set the addressing mode for the interface. (See the online help for information.)
• For manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.
• 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 congure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses
1. Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP ad-
dresses that you recorded above and select Apply.
To congure a Default Gateway
1. Go to Router > Static and select Edit icon for the static route.
2. 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
1. Go to System > Cong > Operation Mode and select Transparent.
2. Set the Management IP/Netmask to 192.168.1.99/24.
3. Set a default Gateway and select Apply.
To change the administrator password
1. Go to System > Admin > Administrators.
2. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To change the management interface
1. Go to System > Cong > Operation Mode.
2. Enter the Management IP address and netmask that you recorded above and select

1. Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP ad-
dresses that you recorded above and select Apply.
Command Line Interface
1. Use the RJ-45 to DB9 serial cable to connect the FortiGate Console port to the man-
agement computer serial port.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use
these settings:
3. Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None.
4. At the Login: prompt, type admin and press Enter twice (no password required).
NAT/Route mode
1. Congure the FortiGate internal interface.
cong system interface
edit internal
set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>
end
2. Repeat to congure each interface, for example, to congure the WAN1 interface.
cong system interface
edit wan1
...
3. Congure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
cong system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end
4. Congure the default gateway.
cong router static
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
Transparent Mode
1. Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and congure the Management IP
address.
cong system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip <mng_ip>/<netmask>

Collecting Information
Conguring
NAT/Route mode
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway
between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit.
Transparent mode
You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind
an existing rewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall.
Refer to the Tools and Documentation CD for information on how to control trafc, and how to congure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content ltering, Spam ltering, intrusion
prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).
Upgrading to High Encryption
This FortiGate unit has a factory installed low encryption feature set. You can purchase a high encryption upgrade within 90 days of shipment from Fortinet. Fortinet Technical Support can
provide a high encryption license key once you have provided suitable documentation that the necessary export licenses have been granted for your region, and our legal department has
authorized the use of high encryption.
When you receive the high encryption license key, in the CLI, enter the command exec crypto-license <high-enc-key>.
Fortinet does not guarantee that the customer will receive a export license upon purchase of the product or license key.
