Deploying the FortiMail unit

Now that the FortiMail unit is up and running, you can start to deploy the unit into your network by configuring the system settings and mail settings. The FortiMail Install Guide will help you with this task.

Configuring the FortiMail unit

Then you can configure detailed antispam, antivirus, and logging settings to protect your mail servers and users. For details, see the FortiMail online help or the FortiMail Administration Guide on the documentation CD.

Before you can deploy the FortiMail unit, you must connect it to your network. To do this, use your web browser to connect to the web-based manager. The

web-based manager is a web site on the FortiMail unit that enables you to change its settings.

The web-based manager has two display modes: Basic and Advanced. The default when you first log on is Advanced. You can switch between the two modes by clicking Basic Mode >> or Advanced Mode >>.

In either mode, when connecting for the initial configuration, you can run the Quick Start Wizard to:

• configure the basic network and antispam settings, and

• initialize default reports Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective

immediately.

To connect to the web-based manager for the first time

1. On your management computer, configure the Ethernet port with the static IP address 192.168.1.2 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

2. Using the Ethernet cable, connect you computer’s Ethernet port to the FortiMail unit’s port 1.

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.

3. Start your web browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer with Adobe Flash Player 10 or greater plug-in, and go to https://192.168.1.99/admin (include the “s” in https:// and “/admin” after the IP address).

4. Type admin in the Name field and click Login.

5. Go to Monitor > System Status > Status (the dashboard) and set the Operation mode. The system will log you out and reboot.

The FortiMail unit has three operation modes: gateway, transparent, and server. For details about operation modes and which mode you should use, see the FortiMail Install Guide. The default is gateway mode.

6. Log in again.

7. Click Quick Start Wizard to run the configuration wizard. Follow its directions to configure the basic network and antispam settings.

8. Continue with deployment.

To connect to the CLI

If you prefer to use the CLI, you can connect to it after you have done initial configuration via the web-based manager’s Quick Start Wizard.

1. Using the null modem or RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable, connect the FortiMail unit’s console port to the serial communications (COM) port on your management computer.

2. On your management computer, start a terminal emulator program (such as HyperTerminal). Use these settings: Bits per second: 9600, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None.

3. At the login prompt, type admin and press Enter twice. For CLI commands, or to connect to the CLI through the network, see the

FortiMail CLI Reference.

You can use one of the following tools to configure the FortiMail unit. If you are connecting and using the unit for the first time, it is recommended you use the web-based manager only, because it comes with a quick start configuration wizard which can guide you through the initial setup.

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

The FortiMail unit has a console port and you can use a console cable to connect it directly to your management computer. For information about CLI commands, see the FortiMail CLI Reference on the documentation CD.

• Web-based manager

The web-based manager is an easy-to-use management tool that you can access from a web browser.

Powering On

Next Steps

1. Place the FortiMail unit on a stable surface. The unit requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance on each side to allow for cooling.

2. Alternatively install the unit in a 19-inch rack. The unit requires 2U of vertical space. For detailed instructions, see the FortiMail Install Guide on the documentation CD.

3. Ensure the power is not connected.

4. Connect the network cable to port 1.

5. Connect the power cable.

6. Turn on the power switch.
