Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route
mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of
its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be
configured with an IP
address that is valid for that network.
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate 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 FortiGate unit.
In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT
mode, the FortiGate unit
performs network address
translation before IP pack-
ets are sent to the desti-
nation network. In Route
mode, no translation takes
place.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make
configuration changes.
You would typically use the FortiGate 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. You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to
control traffic between these network segments.
Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control traffic, and how to configure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content filtering, Spam filtering,
intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

Quick configuration using the default settings
You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the web-based
manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.
All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based
manager, and configure the required settings for the external interface. You can also
configure DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiGate unit automatically assigns IP
addresses for up to 100 computers in the internal network.
Connect the FortiGate unit to the network.
Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns
IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.
From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate
web-based manager appears.
