If you are running the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode, the networks must be
configured to route all Internet traffic to the IP address of the FortiGate interface to
which they are connected.
If you are using the FortiGate unit as the DHCP server for your internal network,
configure the computers on your internal network for DHCP.
Make sure that the connected FortiGate unit is functioning properly by connecting to
the Internet from a computer on the internal network. You should be able to connect to
any Internet address.
In NAT/Route mode, you use the modem interface as either a backup interface or
standalone interface to the Internet.
In backup mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected
ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
