Configuring
NAT/Route mode
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.
Web-based Manager
1.
Connect the FortiGate internal interface to a management computer Ethernet interface.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through
Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.
2.
Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface
of the FortiGate unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3.
To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to
https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the "s" in https://).
4.
Type admin in the Name field and select Login.
NAT/Route mode
To change the administrator password
1.
Go to System > Admin > Administrators.
2.
Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To configure interfaces
1.
Go to System > Network > Interface.
2.
Select the edit icon for each interface to configure.
3.
Set the addressing mode for the interface. (See the online help for information.)
•
For manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.
•
For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and any required settings.
•
For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and enter the username and password and
any other required settings.
To configure the Primary and Secondary DNS server IP addresses
1.
Go to System > Network > Options, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP ad-
dresses that you recorded above and select Apply.
To configure a Default Gateway
Go to Router > Static and select Edit icon for the static route.
1.
2.
Set Gateway to the Default Gateway IP address you recorded above and select OK.
Transparent mode
To switch from NAT/route mode to transparent mode
1.
Go to System > Config > Operation Mode and select Transparent.
2.
Set the Management IP/Netmask to 192.168.1.99/24.
3.
Set a default Gateway and select Apply.
To change the administrator password
1.
Go to System > Admin > Administrators.
2.
Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To change the management interface
1.
Go to System > Config > Operation Mode.
2.
Enter the Management IP address and netmask that you recorded above and select
Apply.

To reset the FortiGate unit to the factory defaults, in the CLI type the command
execute factory reset
Transparent mode
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.
Command Line Interface
1.
Use the RJ-45 to DB9 serial cable to connect the FortiGate Console port to the man-
agement computer serial port.
2.
Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use
these settings:
3.
Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None.
4.
At the Login: prompt, type admin and press Enter twice (no password required).
NAT/Route mode
1.
Configure the FortiGate internal interface.
config system interface
edit internal
set ip <intf_ip>/<netmask_ip>
end
2.
Repeat to configure each interface, for example, to configure the WAN1 interface.
config system interface
edit wan1
...
3.
Configure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
end
4.
Configure the default gateway.
config router static
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
Transparent Mode
1.
Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and configure the Management IP
address.
config system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip <mng_ip>/<netmask>
set gateway <gateway_ip>
end
2.
Configure the DNS server IP address.
config system dns
set primary <dns-server_ip>
set secondary <dns-server_ip>
