QuickStart Guide

Web-based manager

The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool.

Use it to congure the administrator password, the interface and default gateway addresses,

and the DNS server addresses.

Requirements:

An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer. A web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer on the management computer.

•

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to congure the administrator password,

the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To

congure advanced settings, see the Tools and Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

The RJ-45 to DB9 serial connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer. A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management computer.

Web-based Manager

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.

Congure 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 eld and select Login.

NAT/Route mode

To change the administrator password

Go to System > Admin > Administrators. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.

To congure interfaces

Go to System > Network > Interface.

Select the edit icon for each interface to congure.

Set the addressing mode for the interface. (See the online help for information.)

For manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface. For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and any required settings. For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and enter the username and password and any other required settings.

To congure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses

Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses that you recorded above and select Apply.

To congure a Default Gateway

Go to Router > Static and select Edit icon for the static route. Set Gateway to the Default Gateway IP address you recorded above and select OK.

Transparent mode

To switch from NAT/route mode to transparent mode

Go to System > Cong > Operation Mode and select Transparent. Set the Management IP/Netmask to 192.168.1.99/24. Set a default Gateway and select Apply.

To change the administrator password

Go to System > Admin > Administrators. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.

To change the management interface

Go to System > Cong > Operation Mode. Enter the Management IP address and netmask that you recorded above and select Apply.

To congure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses

Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses that you recorded above and select Apply.

Command Line Interface

Use the RJ-45 to DB9 serial cable to connect the FortiGate Console port to the management computer serial port. Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use these settings: Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None. At the Login: prompt, type admin and press Enter twice (no password required).

NAT/Route mode

Congure the FortiGate internal interface.

cong system interface edit internal set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>

end

Repeat to congure each interface, for example, to congure the WAN1 interface.

cong system interface edit wan

...

Congure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.

cong system dns set primary <dns-server_ip> set secondary <dns-server_ip>

end

Congure the default gateway.

cong router static edit 1 set gateway <gateway_ip>

end

Transparent Mode

Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and congure the Management IP

address.

cong system settings set opmode transparent set manageip <mng_ip>/<netmask> set gateway <gateway_ip>

end

Congure the DNS server IP address.

cong system dns set primary <dns-server_ip> set secondary <dns-server_ip>

end

Collecting Information

Conguring

NAT/Route mode

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 conguration, the unit functions as a rewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit.

Transparent mode

You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind

an existing rewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode conguration, the unit functions as a rewall.

Refer to the Tools and Documentation CD for information on how to control trafc, and how to congure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content ltering, Spam ltering, intru-

sion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).
