Configuring	NAT vs. Transparent mode

Configuring

This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit, NAT/Route and Transparent, and how to configure the FortiGate unit for each mode. There are two ways you can configure the FortiGate unit, using the web-based manager or the command line interface (CLI). This section will step through using both methods. Use whichever you are most comfortable with.

This section includes the following topics:

•NAT vs. Transparent mode

•Connecting to the FortiGate unit

•Verify the configuration

•Backing up the configuration

•Additional configuration

NAT vs. Transparent mode

The FortiGate unit can run in two different modes, depending on your network infrastructure and requirements. You have a choice between NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode. Both include the same robust network security features such as antispam, antivirus, VPN and firewall policies.

NAT mode

In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all its interfaces are on different subnets.

In NAT mode, each port is on a different subnet, enabling you to have a single IP address available to the public Internet. The FortiGate unit performs network address translation before it sends and receives the packet to the destination network.

In Route mode, there is no address translation.

Internal network

192.168.1.20

You typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is operating as a gateway between private and public networks. In this configuration, you would create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network and the external, public network, usually the Internet.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

Configuring

Transparent mode

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address to make configuration changes. The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates.

Figure 3: FortiGate unit in Transparent mode

			internal and external networks.

You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web filtering, and Spam filtering.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

To configure, maintain and administer the FortiGate unit, you need to connect to it.

There are two methods for these tasks:

•using the web-based manger, a GUI interface using a current web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer.

•using the command line interface (CLI), a command line interface similar to DOS or UNIX commands using an SSH terminal or Telnet terminal.

Connecting to the web-based manager

To connect to the web-based manager, you require:

•a computer with an Ethernet connection

•Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of the most popular web browser

•an Ethernet cable.

To connect to the web-based manager

1Set the IP address of the management computer to the static IP address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

2Using the Ethernet cable, connect the internal interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection.

3Start your browser and enter the address https://192.168.1.99. (remember to include the “s” in https://).

Configuring	Connecting to the FortiGate unit

To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiGate unit ships with a self-signed security certificate, which is offered to remote clients whenever they initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiGate unit. When you connect, the FortiGate unit displays two security warnings in a browser.

The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate unit’s self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login page appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the FortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is not displayed again.

Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs you that the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request. This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

4 Type admin in the Name field and select Login.

Connecting to the CLI

To connect to the FortiGate CLI you require:

•a computer with an available communications port

•a serial cable, either a RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable, whichever was included in your FortiGate package

•terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Microsoft Windows

Note: The following procedure uses Microsoft Windows HypterTerminal software. You can apply these steps to any terminal emulation program.

To connect to the CLI

1Connect the serial cable to the communications port of your computer and to the FortiGate console port.

2Start HyperTerminal, enter a name for the connection and select OK.

3Configure HyperTerminal to connect directly to the communications port on your computer and select OK.

4Select the following port settings and select OK:

Bits per second	9600
Data bits	8
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None

5Press Enter to connect to the FortiGate CLI.

6When the login prompt appears, type admin and press Enter twice.

Type ? to list available commands. For information about how to use the CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference.

Configuring NAT mode

Configuring

Configuring NAT mode

Configuring NAT mode involves defining interface addresses and default routes, and simple firewall policies. You can use the web-based manager or the CLI to configure the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode.

Using the web-based manager

After connecting to the web-based manager, you can use the following procedures to complete the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. Ensure you read the section “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 16 before beginning.

Configure the interfaces

When shipped, the FortiGate unit has a default address of 192.168.1.99 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. for either the Port 1 or Internal interface. You need to configure this and other ports for use on your network.

To configure interfaces

1Go to System > Network > Interface.

2Select the edit icon for an interface.

3Set the Addressing Mode for the interface.

•For Manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.

•For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and complete the following:

Distance	Enter the administrative distance, between 1 and 255 for the
	default gateway retrieved from the DHCP server. The
	administrative distance specifies the relative priority of a route
	when there are multiple routes to the same destination. A
	lower administrative distance indicates a more preferred route.

Retrieve default gateway from server

Override internal DNS

Enable to retrieve a default gateway IP address from the DHCP server. The default gateway is added to the static routing table.

Enable to use the DNS addresses retrieved from the DHCP server instead of the DNS server IP addresses on the DNS page on System > Network > Options. On FortiGate-100 units and lower, you should also enable Obtain DNS server address automatically in System > Network > Options.

•For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and complete the following:

		Username	Enter the username for the PPPoE server. This may have
			been provided by your ISP.
		Password	Enter the password for the PPPoE server for the above user
			name.
		Unnumbered	Specify the IP address for the interface. If your ISP has
			assigned you a block of IP addresses, use one of these IP
			addresses. Alternatively, you can use, or borrow, the IP
			address of a configured interface on the router. You may need
			to do this to minimize the number of unique IP addresses
			within your network.
			If you are borrowing an IP address remember the interface
			must be enabled, or up to function correctly.
		Initial Disc Timeout	Initial discovery timeout in seconds. The time to wait before
			starting to retry a PPPoE discovery. To disable the discovery
			timeout, set the value to 0.
			timeout, set the value to 0.
			FortiGate-60B FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide

18	01-30006-0446-20080910


Configuring	Configuring NAT mode

Initial PADT Timeout	Initial PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate (PADT) timeout in
	seconds. Use this timeout to shut down the PPPoE session if it
	is idle for this number of seconds. Your ISP must support
	PADT. To disable the PADT timeout, set the value to 0.
Distance	Enter the administrative distance, between 1 and 255 for the
	default gateway retrieved from the DHCP server. The
	administrative distance specifies the relative priority of a route
	when there are multiple routes to the same destination. A
	lower administrative distance indicates a more preferred route.
Retrieve default gateway Enable to retrieve a default gateway IP address from the
from server	DHCP server. The default gateway is added to the static
	routing table.
Override internal DNS	Enable to use the DNS addresses retrieved from the DHCP
	server instead of the DNS server IP addresses on the DNS
	page on System > Network > Options. On FortiGate-100
	units and lower, you should also enable Obtain DNS server
	address automatically in System > Network > Options.

4Select OK.

5Repeat this procedure for each interface as required.

Note: If you change the IP address of the interface you are connecting to, you must connect through a web browser again using the new address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the interface. If the new IP address of the interface is on a different subnet, you may have to change the IP address of your computer to the same subnet.

Configure a DNS server

A DNS server is a service that converts symbolic node names to IP addresses. A domain name server (DNS server) implements the protocol. In simple terms, it acts as a phone book for the Internet. A DNS server matches domain names with the computer IP address. This enables you to use readable locations, such as fortinet.com when browsing the Internet.

DNS server IP addresses are typically provided by your internet service provider.

To configure DNS server settings

1Go to System > Network > Options.

Adding a default route and gateway

A route provides the FortiGate unit with the information it needs to forward a packet to a particular destination. A static route causes packets to be forwarded to a destination other than the default gateway. You define static routes manually. Static routes control traffic exiting the FortiGate unit-you can specify through which interface the packet will leave and to which device the packet should be routed.

In the factory default configuration, entry number 1 in the Static Route list is associated with a destination address of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0, which means any/all destinations. This route is called the "static default route". If no other routes are present in the routing table and a packet needs to be forwarded beyond the FortiGate unit, the factory configured static default route causes the FortiGate unit to forward the packet to the default gateway.

Configuring NAT mode

Configuring

For an initial configuration, you must edit the factory configured static default route to specify a different default gateway for the FortiGate unit. This will enable the flow of data through the FortiGate unit.

For details on adding additional static routes, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

To modify the default gateway

1Go to Router > Static.

2Select Edit for the default route

3In the Gateway field, type the IP address of the next-hop router where outbound traffic is directed.

4If the FortiGate unit reaches the next-hop router through a different interface (compared to the interface that is currently selected in the Device field), select the name of the interface from the Device field.

5Select OK.

Adding firewall policies

Firewall policies enable traffic to flow through the FortiGate interfaces. Firewall policies define how the FortiGate unit processes the packets in a communication session. You can configure the firewall policies to allow only specific traffic, users and specific times when traffic is allowed.

For the initial installation, a single firewall policy that enables all traffic through will enable you to verify your configuration is working. On lower-end units such a default firewall policy is already in place. For the higher end FortiGate units, you will need to add a firewall policy.

The following steps add two policies that allows all traffic through the FortiGate unit, to enable you to continue testing the configuration on the network.

To add an outgoing traffic firewall policy

1Go to Firewall > Policy.

2Select Create New.

3Set the following and select OK.

Source Interface	Select the port connected to the network.
Source Address	All

Destination Interface Select the port connected to the Internet.

Destination Address All

Schedule	always
Service	Any
Action	Accept

To add an incoming traffic firewall policy

1Go to Firewall > Policy.

2Select Create New.
