Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

FortiGate-200 Installation Guide
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.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiGate unit onto the network in Transparent mode.
Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration
tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and
registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation
(NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external
network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal
network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of the network
traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of antivirus
protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network traffic that is
controlled by firewall policies.
