FortiGate-200 Installation Guide
Web-based manager
You can configure most basic and advanced setting from the web-based manager
GUI.
CLI
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode, you can add
the administration password and all interface addresses using the CLI. You can also
add DNS server IP addresses and a default route for the external interface.
Additionally, you can use the CLI to configure the external interface for either a
manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address. You can change the
configuration of the FortiGate DHCP server to supply IP addresses for the computers
on your internal network.
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can use
the CLI to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the administration
password, the management IP address and gateway, and the DNS server addresses.

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode (the default),
you can use the setup wizard to:
• add the administration password
• configure the internal interface address
• choose either a manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address for the
external interface

FTP servers

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can
switch to Transparent mode from the web-based manager and then use the setup
wizard to add the administration password, the management IP address and gateway,
and the DNS server addresses.
