There are three methods of connecting and configuring the basic FortiGate
settings:
• the web-based manager
• the front control buttons and LCD
• the command line interface (CLI)
You can configure and manage the FortiGate unit using HTTP or a secure HTTPS
connection from any computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or recent
browser. The web-based manager supports multiple languages.
You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings, and
monitor the status of the FortiGate unit.
You can use the front control buttons and LCD on the FortiGate unit to configure
IP addresses, default gateways and switch operating modes. The LCD shows you
what mode you are in without having to go to the command line interface or the
web-based manager. For more information on the front control buttons and LCD,
see "LCD front control buttons" on page
You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or an SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any network
that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.
