•

Make sure the power switch on the back of the unit is turned off before connecting the
power and network cables.

•

MAIN MENU appears when the unit is up and running.

•

If only one power supply is connected, an audible alarm sounds to indicate a failed
power supply. To stop this alarm, press the red alarm cancel button.

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 is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode. 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).

NAT/Route mode

Transparent mode

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All
of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface connected to a network must be
configured with an IP address that is valid for that network.

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make
configuration changes.

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 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.

You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind
an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configuration, the unit
functions as a firewall. 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.

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

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.

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.
