You can add this protection profile to firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure networks where content does not need to be protected. 01-28004-0028-20040830 Getting started Fortinet Inc.
Getting started Planning the FortiGate configuration Before you configure the FortiGate-4000 units in the FortiGate-4000 chassis, you need to plan how to integrate them into your network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the FortiGate-4000 units to be visible to the network, which firewall functions you want to provide, and how you want it to control the traffic flowing between FortiGate-4000 unit interfaces.
IP address. You typically use a FortiGate-4000 unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate-4000 unit performs firewall functions as well as antivirus and content scanning but not VPN.
