Web-based Manager

Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the rst time. Congu­ration changes made with the Web Cong are effective immediately without resetting the unit
or interrupting service.

To connect to the web-based manager

1. Connect the Port 1 interface of the unit to Ethernet port of the management computer.
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 Port 1 interface.
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 web-based manager, in your browser, go to https://192.168.1.99 (remem­ber to include the “s” in https://).

4. Type admin in the Name eld, type fortidb1!$ in the Password eld, and click Login.

After connecting to the Web-based manager, you can congure the unit IP address, DNS
server IP address, and default gateway to connect the unit to the network.

To congure interfaces

1. Go to Appliance > Network > Interface.
