Transparent mode installation

This section describes how to install the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode. This 
section includes the following topics:

Preparing to configure Transparent mode

Using the web-based manager

Using the command line interface

Connecting the FortiGate unit to your network

Preparing to configure Transparent mode

Use 

Table 14

 to gather the information you need to customize Transparent mode 

settings.

You can configure Transparent mode using one of the following methods:

• the web-based manager GUI
• the command line interface (CLI)

The method you choose depends on the complexity of the configuration, access 
and equipment, and the type of interface you are most comfortable using.

Using the web-based manager

You can use the web-based manager to complete the initial configuration of the 
FortiGate unit. You can continue to use the web-based manager for all FortiGate 
unit settings.

For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see 

“Connecting to 

the web-based manager” on page 21

.

The first time you connect to the FortiGate unit, it is configured to run in 
NAT/Route mode.

To switch to Transparent mode using the web-based manager

1

Go to 

System > Status

.

2

Select Change beside the Operation Mode.

3

Select Transparent in the Operation Mode list.

4

Type the Management IP/Netmask address and the Default Gateway address you 
gathered in 

Table 14 on page 43

.

5

Select Apply.

The management IP address and netmask must be valid for the 

network from which you will manage the FortiGate unit. Add a default 

gateway if the FortiGate unit must connect to a router to reach the 

management computer.
