01-30004-0266-2007083117
Connecting to the FortiGate unitInstalling the FortiGate unit
Command line interface
You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.
Connecting to the web-based manager
Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first
time. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective
immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the web-based manager, you require:
•a computer with an Ethernet connection
•Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of most
popular web browser
•a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub with two Ethernet cables
Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web
browser), ping to your FortiGate unit to see if the connection between the computer and the
FortiGate unit is working properly.
To connect to the web-based manager
1Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP
address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
60
Series
You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address
automatically using the DHCP. The FortiGate DHCP server assigns the
management computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.254.
2Using the crossover cable or the Ethernet hub and cables, connect the internal
interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer Ethernet connection.
3Start Internet Explorer and browse to the address https://192.168.1.99.
(remember to include the “s” in https://).
To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiGate unit ships with a
self-signed security certificate, and is offered to remote clients whenever they
initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiGate unit. When you connect, the
FortiGate unit displays two security warnings in the browser.
The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate unit’s
self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate
unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login page
appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the
FortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is
not displayed again.
Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs you
that the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request.
This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is
an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

FortiGate Administration Guide.
Command line interface
You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.
The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the webbased manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration
options that are not available from the web-based manager. This guide contains
information about basic and advanced CLI commands. For a more complete
description about connecting to and using the FortiGate CLI, see the FortiGate
CLI Reference.
Connecting to the CLI
As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can install and configure the
FortiGate unit using the CLI. Configuration changes made with the CLI are
effective immediately without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the FortiGate CLI you require:
•a computer with an available communications port
•the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable included in your FortiGate package
•terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Microsoft Windows
Note: The following procedure uses Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal software. You can
apply these steps to any terminal emulation program.

You can quickly set up your FortiGate-60 series unit for a home or small office
using the web-based manager and the factory default FortiGate configuration.
All you need to do is set your network computers to obtain an IP address
automatically and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically (using
DHCP), access the web-based manager, and configure the required settings for
the FortiGate WAN1 interface. You can also configure FortiGate DNS servers
and add a FortiGate default route if needed.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network,
automatically assigning IP addresses to computers (up to 100 computers) in the
range of 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

The FortiGate DHCP server also assigns the DNS server IP address
192.168.1.99 to each computer on the internal network. As a result, the
FortiGate unit internal interface acts as a DNS server for the internal network.
Using DNS forwarding, the FortiGate unit forwards DNS requests received from
the internal network to the DNS server IP addresses added to the FortiGate unit
configuration and returns lookup results to the internal network.
For more information about default DHCP server settings see “Factory default
DHCP server configuration” on page 24.
The following procedure describes how to configure your internal network and the
FortiGate unit to use the FortiGate default settings.
1Connect the FortiGate unit between the internal network and the Internet and turn
on the power.
2Set the TCP/IP properties of the network computers to obtain an IP address
automatically and a DNS server IP address automatically (using DHCP).

Factory defaults
Factory defaults
The FortiGate unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration enables you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based
manager to configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the
FortiGate unit onto the network you add an administrator password, change
network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and, if required,
configure basic routing.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiGate unit onto the network.
Once you complete the network configuration, you can perform additional
configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack
definition updates, and registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address
translation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to
the external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to
the internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of
the network traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network
traffic that is controlled by firewall policies.

Table 2: Factory default DHCP server configuration
When the FortiGate unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and
has the basic network configuration listed in Table 3 on page 24. This
configuration allows you to connect to the FortiGate unit web-based manager and
establish the configuration required to connect the FortiGate unit to the network. In
Table 3 on page 24, HTTPS administrative access means you can connect to the
web-based manager using HTTPS protocol through this interface. Ping
administrative access means this interface responds to ping requests.
Interface connected to external
network (for default route)
Default Route
A default route consists of a default gateway and the
name of the interface connected to the external network
(usually the Internet). The default gateway directs all nonlocal traffic to this interface and to the external network.
FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit.
Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the
FortiGate unit. The factory default configuration contains one firewall policy that
allows all traffic originating on the internal network to access the Internet. To allow
traffic through the FortiGate unit, you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate
Administration Guide for information about adding firewall policies.
The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall
configuration to make it easier to add firewall policies.

The factory default firewall configuration is the same in NAT/Route and
Transparent mode.
Factory default protection profiles
Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic controlled by
firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:
•configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies
•configure Web filtering for HTTP firewall policies
•configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies
•configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies
•enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services
•enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies
By using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be
applied to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types
and levels of protection for different firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need
strict protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate
protection. You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use
the same or different protection profiles.
Protection profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode
firewall policies.

Configuring the FortiGate unit
This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit.
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to
integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the
operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode.
This section includes the following topics:
•Planning the FortiGate configuration
•Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding to ping requests
•NAT/Route mode installation
•Transparent mode installation
•Next Steps
Planning the FortiGate configuration
Before you configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit
into the network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the unit
to be visible to the network, which firewall functions you want it to provide, and
how you want it to control the traffic flowing between its interfaces.
Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select. You can
configure the FortiGate unit in one of two modes: NAT/Route mode (the default)
or Transparent mode.
You can also configure the FortiGate unit and the network it protects using the
default settings.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all
its interfaces are on different subnets. The following interfaces are available in
NAT/Route mode:
FortiGate-60 series and FortiGate-100A FortiOS 3.0 MR4 Install Guide
01-30004-0266-2007083129
Planning the FortiGate configurationConfiguring the FortiGate unit
Add firewall policies to control whether communications through the FortiGate unit
operate in NAT or Route mode. Firewall policies control the flow of traffic based on
the source address, destination address, and service of each packet. In NAT
mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before it sends the
packet to the destination network. In Route mode, there is no address translation.
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).
Note: If you have multiple internal networks, such as a DMZ network in addition to the
internal, private network, you could create route mode firewall policies for traffic flowing
between them.
NAT/Route mode with multiple external network connections
In NAT/Route mode, you can configure the FortiGate unit with multiple redundant
connections to the external network (usually the Internet).
For example, you could create the following configuration:
•WAN1 is the default interface to the external network (usually the Internet)
•Modem is the redundant interface to the external network for the FortiGate-60
series
•DMZ is the redundant interface to the external network on the FortiGate-100A
•Internal is the interface to the internal network
You must configure routing to support redundant Internet connections. Routing
can automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to the
external network fails.
The security policy configuration is similar to a NAT/Route mode configuration
with a single Internet connection. Create NAT mode firewall policies to control
traffic flowing between the internal, private network and the external, public
network.

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
need to configure a management IP address to make configuration changes. The
management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates.
You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network
behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall
functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web content filtering, and Spam
filtering.
You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control
traffic between these network segments.
Note: In Transparent mode, the modem interface is not available on the FortiGate-60M.

Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding to
ping requests
The factory default configuration of your FortiGate unit allows the default public
interface to respond to ping requests. The default public interface is also called
the default external interface, and is the interface of the FortiGate unit that is
usually connected to the Internet.
For the most secure operation, you should change the configuration of the
external interface so that it does not respond to ping requests. Not responding to
ping requests makes it more difficult for a potential attacker to detect your
FortiGate unit from the Internet.
Depending on the FortiGate unit, the default public interface can be the external or
WAN1 interface.
A FortiGate unit responds to ping requests if ping administrative access is enabled
for that interface. You can use the following procedures to disable ping access for
the external interface of a FortiGate unit. You can use the same procedure for any
FortiGate interface in both NAT/Route or Transparent mode.
To disable ping administrative access from the web-based manager
1Log into the FortiGate web-based manager.
2Go to System > Network > Interface.
3Choose the external interface and select Edit.
4Clear the Ping Administrative Access check box.
5Select OK to save the changes.

Configuring the networks
If you are running the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode, your networks must be
configured to route all Internet traffic to the IP address of the interface where the
networks are connected.
•For the internal network, change the default gateway address of all computers
and routers connected directly to your internal network to the IP address of the
FortiGate internal interface.
•For the DMZ network, change the default gateway address of all computers
and routers connected directly to your DMZ network to the IP address of the
FortiGate DMZ interface.
•For the WAN network, change the default gateway address of all computers
and routers connected to your WAN network to the IP address of the FortiGate
WAN interface.
•For the WLAN network on the FortiWiFi-60/60M units, configure an IP address
for the wireless local area network interface.
If you are using the FortiGate unit as the DHCP server for your internal network,
configure the computers on your internal network for DHCP.
Make sure the connected FortiGate unit is functioning properly by connecting to
the Internet from a computer on the internal network. You should be able to
connect to any Internet address.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures
You can configure the FortiGate unit to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution
Network (FDN) to update the antivirus (including grayware), antispam and IPS
attack definitions.
The FDN is a world wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). When
the FortiGate unit connects to the FDN, it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this,
all FortiGate units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest
time zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiGate unit.
You can update your antivirus and IPS signatures using the web-based manager
or the CLI. Before you can begin receiving updates, you must register your
FortiGate unit from the Fortinet web page.
Note: Update AV and IPS signatures on a regular basis. If you do not update AV and IPS
signatures regularly, the FortiGate unit can become vulnerable to new viruses.
After registering your FortiGate unit, verify the FortiGate unit can connect to the
FDN:
•Check that the FortiGate unit’s system time is correct.
•From the web-based manager, select refresh from the FortiGuard Center.
If you cannot connect to the FDN, follow the procedure for registering your
FortiGate unit and try again or see “Adding an override server” on page 47.
Updating antivirus and IPS signatures from the web-based
manager
After you have registered your FortiGate unit, you can update antivirus and IPS
signatures using the web-based manager. The FortiGuard Center enables you to

Configuring the modem interface
60
Series
The modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60 series only excluding the
FortiGate-60ADSL.
The following section will cover how to configure the FortiGate-60M using the
web-based manager. To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 modem, use
the CLI.
The FortiGate-60 series includes support for a redundant or stand alone modem
interface in NAT/Route mode.
•In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a
selected Ethernet interface when that Ethernet interface is unavailable.
•In stand alone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate
unit to the Internet.
When connecting to an ISP in either configuration, the modem can automatically
dial up to three dial-up accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
This section includes the following topics:
•Selecting a modem mode
•Configuring modem settings
•Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Stand alone mode
•Configuring the modem for the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60
•Adding a Ping Server
•Adding firewall policies for modem connections
Selecting a modem mode
The modem interface can work in one of two modes:
•redundant mode
•stand alone mode
Redundant mode configuration
The redundant modem interface serves as a backup to the Ethernet interface. If
that Ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically
dials the configured dial-up account(s). When the modem connects to a dial-up
account, the FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected
Ethernet interface to the modem interface. During this time, the unit pings the
Ethernet connection to check when it is back online.
When the Ethernet interface can connect to its network again, the FortiGate unit
disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the Ethernet interface.

01-30004-0266-2007083149
Selecting a modem modeConfiguring the modem interface
For the FortiGate unit to switch from an Ethernet interface to the modem, you
must select the name of the interface in the modem configuration and configure a
ping server for that interface. You must also configure firewall policies for
connections between the modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
To configure a redundant modem connection for the FortiGate-60M
1Go to System > Network > Modem.
2Select Enable modem.
3Select Redundant for the mode.
4From the Redundant for list, select the Ethernet interface you want the modem to
back up.
5Configure other modem settings as required.
“Configuring modem settings” on page 51.
6Configure a ping server for the Ethernet interface selected in step 4.
See “Adding a Ping Server” on page 56.
7Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface.
See “Adding firewall policies for modem connections” on page 57.
To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 through the CLI
1Log into the CLI.
2Enter the following to configure a redundant modem:
config system modem
set status enable
set status mode redundant
end
Stand alone mode configuration
In stand alone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dial-up account. The
modem interface operates as the primary connection to the Internet. The
FortiGate unit routes traffic through the modem interface, which remains
permanently connected to the dial-up account.
If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiGate unit modem
automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on
the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up
account.
In stand alone mode the modem interface replaces the external Ethernet
interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections between the
modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
Note: Do not add a default route to the Ethernet interface that the modem interface
replaces.
Note: Do not add firewall policies for connections between the Ethernet interface that the
modem replaces and other interfaces.

The ADSL modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60ADSL unit only.
This section describes how to configure the ADSL interface on a
FortiGate-60ADSL. It describes the differences between ADSL and other
FortiGate interface configuration procedures. For more detailed information refer
to the FortiGate Administration Guide.
The FortiGate-60ADSL unit contains an Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL) interface. This provides much higher communication speeds than
standard telephone modems.
Note: The ADSL interface will only function when using the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route
mode. Changing to Transparent mode will disable the ADSL interface.
Configuring the ADSL interface using the web-based manager
You configure the ADSL interface like any other FortiGate physical network
interface. The information that you provide depends on the addressing mode
required by your ISP. Static addressing using IPOA or EOA only requires an IP
address and netmask. If you are using dynamic addressing, you need to configure
the interface as described in “Configuring DHCP on the ADSL interface” on
page 60 or “Configuring PPPoE or PPPoA on the ADSL interface” on page 61.
To configure the ADSL interface
1Go to System > Network > Interface.
2Select Create New or select the Edit icon of an existing interface.
3In the Addressing mode section, select IPoA or EoA.
4Complete the following and select Apply.

Using a wireless network
This chapter is specifically for the FortiWiFi-60/60M and FortiWiFi-60B units. In
all cases, where FortiWiFi-60 is mentioned, it applies to all FortiWiFi units.
WiFi60
In a wired network, computers are connected through a series of cables that
transfer information. In a wireless network, information is transferred over radio
waves. There are factors which affect the transmission of data “on the air” that you
must take into account when setting up a wireless network.
This section outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you can
take to make your wireless network as efficient as possible.
This section includes the following topics:
•Setting up a wireless network
•Wireless Security
•Wireless operation modes
•Setting up the FortiWiFi-60 as an Access Point
Setting up a wireless network
In its simplest form, a wireless network is an Access Point communicating with
one wireless device. An Access Point (AP) is a device that provides a
communications hub for a wireless network. The AP and the wireless devices
operate on a common radio channel. The FortiWiFi-60 acts as an AP and assigns
all wireless users to the same subnet. With the proper firewall policies and routing,
wireless users can communicate with users on the internal network or on an
external network such as the Internet.

Positioning an Access Point
When placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP, your main concern is providing a strong signal
to all users. A strong signal ensures a fast connection and the efficient transfer of
data. A weaker signal means a greater chance of data transmission errors and the
need to re-send information, slowing down data transfer.
Consider the following guidelines when placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP:
•Physical barriers can impede the radio signals. Solid objects such as walls,
furniture and people absorb radio waves, weakening the signal. Be aware of
the physical barriers in your office space that may reduce a signal. If there is
enough physical interference, you may encounter dead spots that do not
receive signals.
•Ensure the FortiWiFi-60 AP is located in a prominent location within a room for
maximum coverage, rather than in a corner.
•Construction materials used in a building can also weaken radio signals.
Rooms with walls of concrete or metal can affect the signal strength.

Radio Frequency interface
The 802.11 standard uses a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. Radio
frequency (RF) interference occurs when other devices send RF signals during
their normal operation that use the same frequency as the FortiWiFi-60 AP.
Wireless devices such as 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens and
Bluetooth devices can interfere with packet transmissions on a wireless network.
To avoid RF interference:
•Remove these devices from the immediate area where users are working.
Something as simple as a Bluetooth enabled mouse may cause transmission
interruptions.
•Keep the FortiWiFi-60 AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away from
appliances such as microwave ovens and cordless phones.
•If you must have a cordless phone, select one that does not use the 2.4GHz
frequency range.

6801-30004-0266-20070831
Using a wireless network Setting up a wireless network
•Consider more FortiWiFi-60 APs to help strengthen the signal. The weaker the
signal, the slower the transmission will be as it tries to compete against other
wireless devices.
•Set a channel that users and FortiWiFi-60 APs will specifically use can
improve signal quality.
Using multiple access points
If you cannot avoid some of these impediments due to the shape of the office or
building materials used, you may need to use multiple FortiWiFi-60 APs to help
distribute the radio signal around the room. Figure 13 shows how positioning two
FortiWiFi-60 APs within a uniquely shaped office space helps to distribute signals
around the area.
Figure 13: Using multiple APs to provide a constant strong signal.
Stairs
Elevator
Washrooms
This sample office has washrooms, a stairwell and an elevator shaft in the center
of the building, making it impossible to use a single FortiWiFi-60 AP effectively.
The elevator shaft and multiple metal stalls in the washrooms can cause signal
degradation. However, placing a FortiWiFi-60 AP in opposite corners of the office
provides maximum coverage.
When using multiple APs, each FortiWiFi-60 AP should be set to a different
channel to avoid interference in areas where signals from both FortiWiFi-60
devices can be received.

Wireless SecurityUsing a wireless network
Wireless Security
Radio waves transmitted between a wireless device and access points provide
the weakest link between the wireless device and network servers. Wireless
networking can be risky because information travels on radio waves, which is a
public medium. The 802.11 standard includes security options to stop your
information from being intercepted by unwanted sources. These are Wireless
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Wireless
encryption is only used between the wireless device and the AP. The AP decrypts
the data before sending it along the wired network. The FortiWiFi-60 supports
both encryption methods.
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP security uses an encryption key between the wireless device and the AP. For
WEP security, the wireless device and AP must use the same encryption key, and
is manually typed by the wireless user and administrator. When activated, the
wireless device encrypts the data with the encryption key for each frame using
RSA RC4 ciphers.
There has been criticism of WEP security. WEP keys are static. They must be
changed manually and frequently on both the wireless device and the APs. On a
small company or network with a few users and APs, this is not a big issue.
However, the more users and APs, changing WEP keys regularly can become an
administrative headache and potentially error prone. Consequently, keys are
rarely changed over months or years, leaving a hacker plenty of time to get the
key and gain access to the network.
In small wireless networking environments, activating WEP security will
significantly minimize outside infiltrators from getting in your network and is better
than no security at all. However, it is still very important that you regularly change
the WEP key, at least weekly; or monthly at most.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA was developed to replace the WEP standard and provide a higher level of
data protection for wireless networks. WPA provides two methods of
authentication; through 802.1X authentication or pre-shared keys.
802.1X authenticates users through an EAP authentication server such as a
RADIUS server authenticates each user before they can connect to the network.
The encryption keys can be changed at varying intervals to minimize the
opportunity for hackers to crack the key being used.
In a network setup where a RADIUS server is not a viable option, WPA also
provides authentication with preshared keys using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP). Using TKIP, the encryption key is continuously re-keyed while the user is
connected to the wireless network. This creates a unique key on every data
packet. To further ensure data integrity, a Message Integrity Code (MIC also
known as Michael) is incorporated into each packet. It uses an 8 byte message
integrity code that is encrypted using the MAC addresses and data from each
frame to provide a more secure packet transmission.
WPA provides a more robust security between the wireless device and the access
point. The FortiWiFi-60 units support both WPA methods.

Using a wireless network Wireless operation modes
Additional security measures
The FortiWiFi-60 includes other security measures you can use to block
unwanted users from accessing your wireless network. By setting a few extra
options, you can be assured your network and its information is secure.
MAC address filtering
To improve the security of your wireless network, consider enabling MAC address
filtering on the FortiWiFi-60 unit. By enabling this feature, you define the wireless
devices that can access the network based on their system MAC address. When
a user attempts to access the wireless network, the FortiWiFi-60 unit checks the
MAC address of the user to the list you created. If the MAC address is on the
approved list, the user gains access to the network. If the user is not in the list, the
user is rejected. Using MAC address filtering makes it more difficult for a hacker
using random MAC addresses or spoofing a MAC address to gain access to your
network.
Service Set Identifier
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name shared by all users on a
wireless network. Wireless users should configure their computers to connect to
the network that broadcasts this network name. For security reasons, do not leave
the default name of “fortinet” as the network name.
Broadcasting enables wireless users to find a network. The FortiWiFi-60 models
includes an option not to broadcast the SSID. This provides an extra layer of
protection. If you configure all wireless users to the correct SSID, you do not need
to enable the broadcasting of the SSID.
To disable SSID
1Go to System > Wireless > Settings.
2Select the wlan interface.
3Clear the SSID Broadcast check box.
4Select OK.
Wireless operation modes
The FortiWiFi-60 models each have two modes of operation for wireless
networking: Access Point and Client.
Access Point mode
When using the FortiWiFi in Access Point mode, the device acts as an access
point for wireless users to connect to, send and receive information over a
wireless network. It enables multiple wireless network users access to the
network without the need to connect to it physically. The FortiWiFi-60 can connect
to the internal network and act as a firewall to the Internet. Access Point mode is
the default mode.

When using the FortiWiFi-60 in Client mode, the device is set to receive
transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect remote
users to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that does not
have a wired infrastructure.
For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sides
of the building, running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment.
The FortiWiFi-60 unit can support wired users using its four Ethernet ports and
can connect to another Access Point wirelessly as a Client. This connects the
wired users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.

For more information, see the FortiGate Administration Guide
If you are reverting to a previous firmware version (for example, reverting from
FortiOS v3.0 to FortiOS v2.80), you might not be able to restore your previous
configuration from the backup up configuration file.
The FortiUSB key
The FortiUSB key provides flexibility and control when backing up and restoring
configuration files. The FortiUSB key also enables you to have a single, secure
location for storing configuration files.
Use the FortiUSB key with the USB Auto-Install feature, automatically installing a
configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The USB
Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that is on
the FortiUSB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to be
installed. If so, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware image
file directly from the key to the unit.
Note: The FortiUSB key is purchased separately. The FortiGate unit only supports the
FortiUSB key available from Fortinet.
Backup and Restore from the FortiUSB key
Use the FortiUSB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a
configuration file. You should always make sure the FortiUSB key is properly
install before proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is
installed in its USB port.
Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the
configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the
configuration file. However, an encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB
Auto-Install feature.

The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration
file and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an
additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting
down or rebooting your FortiGate unit.
The following procedures use both the web-based manager and the CLI.
However, it is recommended you use the CLI since the login screen may appear
before the installation is complete. The FortiGate unit may reboot twice if installing
the firmware image and configuration file.
Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files,
image.out and fgt_system.conf, must be in the root directory.
Note: Make sure at least FortiOS v3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before
installing.

the filename contains spaces, you will need quotations around the filename before you can
delete the file from the FortiUSB key.
Testing a new firmware image before installing it
You can test a new firmware image by installing the firmware image from a system
reboot and saving it to system memory. After completing this procedure, the
FortiGate unit operates using the new firmware image with the current
configuration. This new firmware image is not permanently installed. The next
time the FortiGate unit restarts, it operates with the originally installed firmware
image using the current configuration. If the new firmware image operates
successfully, you can install it permanently using the procedure “Upgrading to a
