To add a default route
Add a default route to configure where the FortiGate unit sends traffic destined for an
external network (usually the Internet). Adding the default route also defines which
interface is connected to an external network. The default route is not required if the
interface connected to the external network is configured using DHCP or PPPoE.
1
Go to System > Router > Static.
2
If the Static Route table contains a default route (IP and Mask set to 0.0.0.0), select
the Delete icon to delete this route.
3
Select Create New.
4
Set Destination IP to 0.0.0.0.
5
Set Mask to 0.0.0.0.
6
Set Gateway to the default gateway IP address.
7
Set Device to the interface connected to the external network.
8
Select OK.
Basic settings can be configured using the LCD
and front control buttons on the FortiGate unit. Use
the information that you recorded in
page 28
to complete the following procedure. Start
when Main Menu is displayed on the LCD.
When you configure interfaces using the control buttons and LCD, the interfaces are
always named internal, external, and DMZ. The interface names on the LCD
correspond as follows to the FortiGate interfaces:

Note: You cannot configure the external interface for DHCP or PPPoE from the control buttons
and LCD. Instead you can use the web-based manager, the CLI, or the setup wizard.
1
Set the internal interface IP address.
Use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the value of each IP address
digit. Press Enter to move to the next digit. Press Esc to move to the previous digit.
Note: When you enter an IP address, the LCD always shows three digits for each part of the
address. For example, the IP address 192.168.100.1 appears on the LCD as 192.168.100.001.
The IP address 192.168.23.45 appears as 192.168.023.045.
