Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) connectors that you must
insert into the cage sockets 1-4 on the FortiGate-5001
front panel. You can optionally use the 1000Base-LX
(single-mode fiber) or 1000Base-TX (copper cable) SFP
transceivers.

Install the FortiGate-5001 module into a FortiGate 5020, 5050 or 5140 chassis and connect the
network cables. Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap to avoid static discharges.

NAT/Route mode

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate-5001 module is visible to the networks that it is
connected to. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is
connected to a network must be configured with an IP address that is valid for that
network.

You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate-5001 module is deployed
as a gateway between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode
configuration, the module functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control
communications through the FortiGate-5001 module. No traffic can pass through the
FortiGate-5001 module until you add firewall policies.

In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In
NAT mode, the FortiGate-5001 module performs network address translation before IP
packets are sent to the destination network. In route mode, no translation takes place.

Transparent mode

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate-5001 module is invisible to the network. All of its
interfaces are on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP
address so that you can make configuration changes.

You would typically use the FortiGate-5001 module in Transparent mode on a private
network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode
configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. No traffic can pass through the
FortiGate-5001 module until you add firewall policies.

You can connect up to eight network segments to the FortiGate-5001 module to control
traffic between these network segments.

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate-5001 module, you need to plan how to integrate the
unit into your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you
select: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

Web-based manager and
Setup Wizard

Using the Setup Wizard you can configure basic
configuration settings by stepping through the
wizard pages and filling in the information required.

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

Use it to configure the administrator password,

interface addresses, the default gateway address,
and the DNS server addresses. To configure advanced settings, see the online help
and Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

• An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate-5001 and a management computer.

• Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on the management computer.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

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

interface addresses, the default gateway address,
and the DNS server addresses. To configure
advanced settings, see the FortiGate CLI
Reference Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

• The serial connection between the
FortiGate-5001 module and a management
computer.

• A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management
computer.

Choose between two different tools to configure the FortiGate-5001 module.

QuickStart Guide

FortiGate-5001

Check that the package contents are complete.

To install the FortiGate-5001 module

1. Install the RAM DIMMs into the module by pushing the RAM DIM gently until
the locking mechanism locks down the DIM.

2. Extend the extraction levers on the module.

3. Carefully slide the module into a chassis slot.

The module is seated

properly when it touches the chassis up to the extraction levers.

4. Lock the extraction levers by pushing them towards each other.

5. If power is supplied to the chassis, the FortiGate-5001 module powers on when
the extraction levers are closed.

6. Tighten the mounting knots on the left and right sides of the front panel.

7. The power switch is built-in to the left side extraction lever. Ensure that the
lockdown thumbscrew is tightened to ensure that power is not interrupted.

8. Install SFP transceivers and connect the network cables.
