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 included with the
FortiGate unit.

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

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.

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 wan1

...

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

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, intrusion

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