Web Config
1. Connect the Fortinet unit’s internal interface to a management computer Ethernet
interface. 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 internal interface
of the Fortinet unit. 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 Fortinet web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to
https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).
4. Type
admin
in the Name field and leave the password field blank. Click

management computer serial port.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use
these settings:
3. Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None.
4. At the Login: prompt, type
admin
and press Enter twice (no password required).
NAT/Route mode
1. Configure the Fortinet unit’s internal interface.
config system interface
edit internal
set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>
end
2. Repeat to configure each interface, for example, to configure the Port 1 interface.
config system interface
edit port1
...
3. Configure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end
4. Configure the default gateway.
config router static
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
Transparent Mode
1. Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and configure the Management IP
address.
config system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip <mng_ip>/<netmask>
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
2. Configure the DNS server IP address.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end
NAT/Route mode
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the Fortinet unit is deployed as a gateway
between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit
functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through the Fortinet unit.
Transparent mode
You would typically use the Fortinet unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind
an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configuration, the unit
functions as a firewall.
