Connecting
Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
• Place the unit on a stable surface.
• Connect both power cables into the back of the FortiGate unit, then plug the power
cables into a power bar.
• MAIN MENU appears when the unit is up and running.
• If only one power supply is connected, an audible alarm sounds to indicate a failed
power supply. To stop this alarm, press the red alarm cancel button.
Planning the Configuration
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode. 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).
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 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.
No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies.
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 packets are sent to
the destination 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. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add fire-
wall policies.
You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between
these network segments.
