settings.
Using the web-based manager to configure Transparent mode

Connect port1 of the FortiGate-5001A board to the same hub or switch as the
computer you will use to configure the FortiGate board.

Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the port1
interface of the FortiGate-5001A board. To do this, change the IP address of the
management computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.

To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse
