supports multiple languages. You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and
HTTPS administration from any FortiGate interface.

You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings. You can
also use the web-based manager to monitor the status of the FortiGate unit.
Configuration changes made using the web-based manager are effective immediately
without resetting the firewall or interrupting service. Once you are satisfied with a
configuration, you can back it up. The saved configuration can be restored at any
time.
For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see "Connecting to the
web-based manager" in the Installation Guide for your unit.
