In Transparent mode, the FortiWiFi unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a
network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only
have to configure a management IP address to make configuration changes. The
management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates.

Internet
You typically use the FortiWiFi unit in Transparent mode on a private network
behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiWiFi unit performs firewall
functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web filtering, and Spam filtering.
To configure, maintain and administer the FortiWiFi unit, you need to connect to it.
There are two methods for these tasks:
•
using the web-based manger, a GUI interface using a current web browser
such as FireFox or Internet Explorer.
•
using the command line interface (CLI), a command line interface similar to
DOS or UNIX commands using an SSH terminal or Telnet terminal.
To connect to the web-based manager, you require:
•
a computer with an Ethernet connection
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of the
most popular web browser
•
an Ethernet cable.
To connect to the web-based manager
1
Set the IP address of the management computer to the static IP address
192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
2
Using the Ethernet cable, connect the internal interface of the FortiWiFi unit to the
computer Ethernet connection.
3
Start your browser and enter the address https://192.168.1.99. (remember to
include the "s" in https://).
