address of the FortiGate unit. Administrators connect to this IP address to administer
the FortiGate unit. The FortiGate also uses this IP address to connect to the FDN for
virus and attack updates (see

Controlling administrative access to a FortiGate 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 the 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
