Getting started Factory default FortiGate configuration settings The FortiGate unit is shipped with a factory default configuration. The default configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager to configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the FortiGate unit onto the network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and configure basic routing, if required.
Getting started Factory default firewall configuration FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit. Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the FortiGate unit. To allow traffic through the FortiGate unit you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for information about adding firewall policies.
To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use if you do not want to apply content protection to content traffic. You can add this protection profile to firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure networks where content does not need to be protected. 01-28004-0025-20040830 Getting started Fortinet Inc.
Getting started NAT/Route mode In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all its interfaces are on different subnets. The following interfaces are available in NAT/Route mode: • • • • • You can add firewall policies to control whether communications through the FortiGate unit operate in NAT or Route mode.
The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates. You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS, web content filtering, and Spam filtering.
LCD to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the management IP address and default gateway. FortiGate-1000 Installation Guide External can connect to the external firewall or router. Internal can connect to the internal network. Port 1, 2, and 3 can connect to other network segments.

High availability installation Power on all the FortiGate units in the cluster. As the units start, they negotiate to choose the primary cluster unit and the subordinate units. This negotiation occurs with no user intervention and normally just takes a few seconds. Installing and configuring the cluster When negotiation is complete the you can configure the cluster as if it was a single FortiGate unit.
