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

NAT 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.

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.

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.
