Getting started with FortiGate-7000F

Multi VDOM mode

By default, when you first start up a FortiGate-7000F it is operating in Multi VDOM mode. The default Multi VDOM
configuration includes the root VDOM and a management VDOM named mgmt-vdom. The management interfaces
and the HA heartbeat interfaces are in mgmt-vdom and all the data interfaces are in the root VDOM.
You cannot delete or rename mgmt-vdom. You also cannot remove interfaces from it or add interfaces to it. You can;
however, configure other settings such as routing required for management communication, interface IP addresses, and
so on. You can also add VLANs to the interfaces in mgmt-vdom.
You can use the root VDOM for data traffic and you can also add more VDOMs as required, depending on your Multi
VDOM license.

Changing data interface network settings

To change the IP address of any FortiGate-7000F data interface:
From the GUI access the Global GUI and go to Network > Interfaces. Edit any interface to change its IP address
l
and other settings.
From the CLI:
l
config system interface
edit <interface-name>
set ip <ip-address> <netmask>
end

Resetting to factory defaults

At any time during the configuration process, if you run into problems, you can reset the FortiGate-7000F to factory
defaults and start over. From the primary FIM CLI enter:
config global
execute factoryreset

Restarting the FortiGate-7000F

To restart all of the modules in a FortiGate-7000F, connect to the primary FIM CLI and enter the execute reboot
command. When you enter this command from the primary FIM, all of the modules restart.
To restart individual FIMs or FPMs, log in to the CLI of the module to restart and run the execute reboot command.
