Adding A Default Route; Verify The Connection - Fortinet FortiGate FortiGate-200A Install Manual

NAT/Route mode installation
40
5 Confirm that the addresses are correct. Enter:
get system interface
The CLI lists the IP address, netmask, and other settings for each of the FortiGate
interfaces.
To configure DNS server settings
Set the primary and secondary DNS server IP address. Enter:
config system dns
set primary <address_ip>
set secondary <address_ip>
end
Example
config system dns
set primary 293.44.75.21
set secondary 293.44.75.22
end

Adding a default route

Add a default route to configure where the FortiGate unit sends traffic destined for
an external network (usually the Internet). Adding the default route also defines
which interface is connected to an external network. The default route is not
required if the interface connected to the external network is configured using
DHCP or PPPoE.
To add a default route
Set the default route to the Default Gateway IP address. Enter:
config router static
edit <seq_num>
set dst <class_ip&net_netmask>
set gateway <gateway_IP>
set device <interface>
end
Example
If the default gateway IP is 204.23.1.2 and this gateway is connected to WAN1:
config router static
edit 1
set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
set gateway 204.23.1.2
set device wan1
end

Verify the connection

To verify the connection, try the following:
• ping the FortiGate unit
• browse to the web-based manager GUI
• retrieve or send email from your email account
