The CLI displays the status of the FortiGate unit including the management IP
address and netmask:
opmode : transparent
manageip : <address_ip><netmask>

over from NAT/Route mode and may not be correct for your specific Transparent
mode configuration. Use Table 14 on page 44
settings.
To verify the DNS server settings
Enter the following command to verify the FortiGate unit's DNS server settings:
show system dns
The above CLI command should give you the following DNS server setting
information:
config system dns
set primary 293.44.75.21
set secondary 293.44.75.22
set fwdintf internal
end
To configure DNS server settings
Set the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. Enter:
config system dns
set primary <address_ip>
set secondary <address_ip>
end

Reconnecting to the web-based manager

When the FortiGate unit has switched to Transparent mode, you can reconnect to
the web-based manager using the new IP address. Browse to https:// followed by
the new IP address. If you connect to the management interface through a router,
make sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the
management IP default gateway field.
When you complete the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate unit
between your internal network and the Internet and connect an additional network
to the DMZ interface.
To connect the FortiGate unit running in Transparent mode
Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to your internal
network.
Connect the External interface to the external firewall or router.
Connect to the public switch or router provided by your ISP.
Connect the other interfaces to other network segments.
