FortiGate-100 Installation and Configuration Guide
A FortiGate unit in Transparent mode can also perform firewalling. Even though it
takes no part in the layer 3 topology, it can examine layer 3 header information and
make decisions on whether to block or pass traffic.
Use the information in this section to complete the initial configuration of the FortiGate
unit.
For effective scheduling and logging, the FortiGate system date and time should be
accurate. You can either manually set the date and time or you can configure the
FortiGate unit to automatically keep its date and time correct by synchronizing with a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
To set the FortiGate system date and time, see
page 129.
To enable antivirus protection to protect users on your internal network from
downloading a virus from the Internet:
1 Go to Firewall > Policy > Int->Ext.
2 Select Edit to edit this policy.
3 Select Anti-Virus & Web filter to enable antivirus protection for this policy.
4 Select the Scan Content Profile.
5 Select OK to save your changes.
After purchasing and installing a new FortiGate unit, you can register the unit by going
to System > Update > Support, or using a web browser to connect to
http://support.fortinet.com and selecting Product Registration.
Registration consists of entering your contact information and the serial numbers of
the FortiGate units you or your organization have purchased. Registration is quick and
easy. You can register multiple FortiGate units in a single session without re-entering
your contact information.
For more information about registration, see
page 101.
You can configure the FortiGate unit to automatically check to see if new versions of
the virus definitions and attack definitions are available. If it finds new versions, the
FortiGate unit automatically downloads and installs the updated definitions.
