You can use the root VDOM for data traffic and you can also add more VDOMs for data traffic as required, depending on
your Multi VDOM license.

Changing data interface network settings

From the GUI access the Global GUI and go to Network > Interfaces. Edit any interface to change its IP address
l
and other settings.
From the CLI:
l
config system interface
edit <interface-name>
set ip <ip-address> <netmask>
end

Resetting to factory defaults

At any time during the configuration process, if you run into problems, you can reset the FortiGate 6000F to factory
defaults and start over. From the primary FIM CLI enter:
config global
execute factoryreset

Restarting the FortiGate 6000F

To restart the FortiGate 6000F, connect to the management board CLI and enter the execute reboot command. After
you enter this command, the management board and all of the FPCs restart.
To restart an individual FPC, log in to the CLI of that FPC and run the execute reboot command.
Changing the FortiGate 6001F, FortiGate 6501F, or FortiGate 6301F
log disk and RAID configuration
The FortiGate 6001F, FortiGate 6501F, or FortiGate 6301F include two internal 1-TByte log disks. By default the disks
are in a RAID-1 configuration. In the RAID-1 configuration you can use the disks for disk logging only. You can use the
execute disk raid command to disable RAID and use one of the disks for disk logging and the other for other
purposes such as disk caching. You can also change the RAID level to RAID-0. Changing the RAID configuration
deletes all data from the disks and can disrupt disk logging so a best practice is set the RAID configuration when initially
setting up the FortiGate 6001F, FortiGate 6501F, or FortiGate 6301F.
From the CLI you can use the following command to show disk status:
execute disk list
