Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the
setup wizard, you must reconnect to the web-based manager using the new IP
address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management
interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to
https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make
sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP
default gateway field.
Using the command line interface
As an alternative to the web-based manager or setup wizard you can begin the initial
configuration of the FortiGate-5000 module using the command line interface (CLI).
To connect to the CLI, see
“Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)” on
page 16

Table 4 on page 27

following procedures.
