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 with-
out resetting the FortiBridge unit or interrupting service.
To connect to the web-based manager
1. Connect the management port of the FortiBridge unit to Ethernet port of the manage-
ment computer.
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.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the FortiBridge
management port interface.
To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and
the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiBridge web-based manager, in your browser, go to
http://192.168.1.99.
4. Type
admin
in the Name field and click Login.
To configure Probes
Probes monitor the FortiGate unit by sending packets from the INT 2 interface through
the FortiGate unit to the EXT 2 interface. If probe packets are not received at the EXT 2
interface the FortiBridge unit detects a failure.
Configure probe settings to set actions on failure, add a dynamic IP pattern used by the
probe packets, and enter the serial number of the FortiGate unit. Actions on failure can
include failing open and sending an alert email, a syslog message, and an SNMP trap.
1. Go to
Probe > Settings
.
2. Enter the Probe IP address pattern (#.#.#.*).
3. Enable ping, HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and/or IMAP probes.
4. Set the Port Number for each protocol.
5. Change the Failure Threshold and probe Interval for each probe.
To set up Notifications
1. Go to
Probe > Notifications
.
2. Enter a Notification Message Tag.
3. Optionally, select the Syslog check box and enter the IP address, port and facility of
the Syslog server that receives FortiBridge syslog messages.
4. Optionally, select the Email check box and enter the SMTP server, email addresses,
SMTP user name, and password of the users to send the alert email.
5. Optionally, select the SNMP check box and enter the name, hosts, and traps of the
SNMP manager to send alerts to a community.
To configure the Management, Default Gateway, and Primary and Secondary DNS server
IP addresses
1. Go to
System > Status > Management Port
area and click Change.
Command Line Interface
To connect to the FortiBridge unit
1. Use a RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the FortiBridge management port to the man-
agement computer serial port.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) on the management
computer. Use these settings: Baud Rate 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1,
Flow Control None.
3. At the login: prompt, type
admin
and press Enter twice.
(The login prompt is preceded by the server default host name.)
To configure the FortiBridge unit using the CLI
1. Change the management IP address.
config system manageip
set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>
end
2. Configure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end
3. Configure the default gateway.
config system route
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
4. Change the administrator password.
config system admin
edit admin
set password <password>
end
Shutting down the FortiBridge unit

cedures before disconnecting the power supply. Not following this procedure can increase
the risk of damaging the FortiBridge flash disk.
To power off the FortiBridge unit
1. Go to
System > Status
.
2. In the Unit Operation area, click Shut Down.
3. Once the indicates the shut down procedure has completed, disconnect the
FortiBridge unit from the power source.
