Setup wizard
The FortiGate setup wizard provides an easy way to configure the basic initial settings
for the FortiGate unit. The wizard walks through the configuration of a new
administrator password, FortiGate interfaces, DHCP server settings, internal servers
(web, FTP, etc.), and basic antivirus settings.
