Installing the FortiGate unit Powering off the FortiGate unit

Powering off the FortiGate unit

Always shut down the FortiGate operating system properly before turning off the power switch to avoid potential hardware problems.
To power off the FortiGate unit
1 From the web-based manager, go to System > Status.
2 In the Unit Operation display, select Shutdown, or from the CLI, enter:
execute shutdown
3 Disconnect the power supply.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

There are two methods of connecting and configuring the basic FortiGate settings:
the web-based manager
the command line interface (CLI)

Web-based manager

You can configure and manage the FortiGate unit using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer or recent browser. The web-based manager supports multiple languages.
Use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings, and monitor the status of the FortiGate unit.

Command line interface

You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to the CLI from any network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.

Connecting to the web-based manager

Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first time. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
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 most popular web browser
a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub with two Ethernet cables
Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web browser), ping to your FortiGate unit to see if the connection between the computer and the FortiGate unit is working properly.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit Installing the FortiGate unit
To connect to the web-based manager
1 Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP
address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
50A
You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. The FortiGate DHCP server assigns the management computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.254.
2 Using the crossover cable or the Ethernet hub and cables, connect the internal
interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection.
3 Start Internet Explorer and browse to the address https://192.168.1.99.
(remember to include the “s” in https://).
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 the 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.
Figure 6: FortiGate login
4 Type admin in the Name field and select Login.
After logging into the web-based manager, the web browser displays the system dashboard. The dashboard provides you with all system status information in one location. For details on the information displayed on the dashboard, see the
FortiGate Administration Guide.

Installing the FortiGate unit Connecting to the FortiGate unit

Command line interface

You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.
The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the web-based manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration options that are not available from the web-based manager. This guide contains information about basic and advanced CLI commands. For a more complete description about connecting to and using the FortiGate CLI, see the FortiGate
CLI Reference.

Connecting to the CLI

As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can install and configure the FortiGate unit using the CLI. Configuration changes made with the CLI are effective immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the FortiGate CLI you require:
a computer with an available communications port
the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable or null-modem cable included in your FortiGate package.
terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Microsoft Windows.
Note: The following procedure uses Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal software. You can apply these steps to any terminal emulation program.
To connect to the CLI

Quick installation using factory defaults Installing the FortiGate unit

Quick installation using factory defaults

You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the
50A
web-based manager and the factory default FortiGate configuration. All you need to do is set your network computers to obtain an IP address automatically and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically (using DHCP), access the web-based manager, and configure the required settings for the FortiGate external interface. You can also configure FortiGate DNS servers and add a FortiGate default route if needed.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network, automatically assigning IP addresses to computers (up to 100 computers) in the range of 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

FortiGate-50A
The FortiGate DHCP server also assigns the DNS server IP address
192.168.1.99 to each computer on the internal network. As a result, the FortiGate unit internal interface acts as a DNS server for the internal network. Using DNS forwarding, the FortiGate unit forwards DNS requests received from the internal network to the DNS server IP addresses added to the FortiGate unit configuration and returns lookup results to the internal network.
For more information about default DHCP server settings see “Factory default
DHCP server configuration” on page 28.
The following procedure describes how to configure your internal network and the FortiGate unit to use the FortiGate default settings.
1 Connect the FortiGate unit between the internal network and the Internet and turn
on the power.
2 Set the TCP/IP properties of the network computers to obtain an IP address
automatically and a DNS server IP address automatically (using DHCP).
3 From the management computer, browse to https://192.168.1.99.
4 Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the External or WAN1
interface.
5 Select one of the following Addressing modes
