Each FortiGate-4000 unit in a FortiGate-4000 chassis is shipped with a factory default
configuration. The default configuration allows you to connect to and use the
FortiGate web-based manager to configure the FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network.
To configure the FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network, you add an administrator
password, change network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses,
and configure routing, if required.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate-4000 unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network in Transparent mode.
Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration
tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and
registering the FortiGate-4000 unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation
(NAT) firewall policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the
external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the
internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of the
network traffic passing through the FortiGate-4000 units.
