Configure the interfaces

When shipped, the Fortinet unit has a default address of 192.168.1.99 and a netmask of
255.255.255.0. for either the Port 1 or Internal interface. You need to configure this and
other ports for use on your network.
Note: If you change the IP address of the interface you are connecting to, you must
connect through a web browser again using the new address. Browse to https:// followed by
the new IP address of the interface. If the new IP address of the interface is on a different
subnet, you may have to change the IP address of your computer to the same subnet.
To configure interface for manual addressing - web-based manager
1 Go to System > Network > Interface.
2 Select the Edit icon for an interface.
3 Enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.

The default gateway is added to the static routing table.

instead of the DNS server IP addresses on the DNS page on System >

automatically in System > Network > Options.
