Planning the Configuration
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route
mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between

these network segments.
NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through the
FortiGate unit. No
traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode,
firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit
performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to the destination network.
In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control traffic, and how to configure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content filtering, Spam filtering,
intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

Choosing a Configuration Tool
Web-based manager

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool. Use it to configure
the administrator password, the interface and default gateway addresses, and the DNS
server addresses.

The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password,
the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To
configure advanced settings, see the Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:
•
An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer.
•
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher on the management computer.

Requirements:
•
The DB-9 serial connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer.
•
A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management
computer.

4.

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
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 configure interfaces
1. Go to System > Network > Interface.
2. Select the edit icon for each interface to configure.
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 configure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses
1. Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP
addresses that you recorded above and select Apply.
To configure 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 > Status, 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 > Config > Operation Mode.
2. Enter the Management IP address and netmask that you recorded above and select
Apply.

3.

Use the RJ-45 to DB9 to connect the FortiGate Console port to the management computer serial port.
Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer.
Use these settings: Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and
Flow Control None.
At the Login: prompt, type admin and press Enter twice (no password required).
