To control administrative access to an interface
For a FortiGate unit running in NAT/Route mode, you can control administrative
access to an interface to control how administrators access the FortiGate unit and the
FortiGate interfaces to which administrators can connect.
Controlling administrative access for an interface connected to the Internet allows
remote administration of the FortiGate unit from any location on the Internet. However,
allowing remote administration from the Internet could compromise the security of
your FortiGate unit. You should avoid allowing administrative access for an interface
connected to the Internet unless this is required for your configuration. To improve the
security of a FortiGate unit that allows remote administration from the Internet:
•
Use secure administrative user passwords,
•
Change these passwords regularly,
•
Enable secure administrative access to this interface using only HTTPS or SSH,
•
Do not change the system idle timeout from the default value of 5 minutes (see
set the system idle timeout" on page
To configure administrative access in Transparent mode, see
management interface" on page
