Connecting the FortiBridge-1000
N ormally, you would use straight-through ethernet
cables to connect the FortiBridge-1000 unit. However,
for some connections you may need a crossover
ethernet cable (for example, for compatibility with
network devices that do not support Auto MDI/MDIX).
1. Connect the FortiBridge INT 2 interface to the
FortiGate unit internal interface.
2. Connect the FortiBridge EXT 2 interface to the
FortiGate unit external interface.
3. Connect the FortiBridge INT 1 interface to the
internal network.
4. Connect the FortiBridge EXT 1 interface to the
external network.
5. Turn on the FortiGate unit and any network
equipment that was turned off.
6. Connect the AC adapter to the power connection at
the back of the FortiBridge unit and to a power outlet.
The PWR and Bypass Mode LEDs turn on. After a short
time, the FortiBridge unit switches to Normal mode. The
Bypass LED turns off and the Normal LED turns on.

QuickStart Guide

The FortiBridge unit functions as a pass-through device when a
FortiGate unit or FortiGate HA cluster operating in Transparent mode
fails or loses power. The FortiBridge unit bypasses the FortiGate unit to
make sure that the network can continue processing traffic. The
FortiBridge unit is not a firewall or antivirus device. FortiGate services
are not applied when the FortiBridge unit bypasses traffic.
