Connecting

Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.

Place the unit on a stable surface. It requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance above and on each side to allow for cooling.

Make sure the power switch on the back of the unit is turned off before connecting the power and network cables.

The LCD displays the following when the unit is up and running:

Planning the Configuration

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

NAT/Route mode

Transparent mode

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be

configuration, the unit functions as a firewall.

Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode.

In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make configuration changes.

Choosing a Configuration Tool

Web-based manager

The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password, the interface and default gateway addresses, and the DNS server addresses.

Requirements:

An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer.

Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher on the management computer.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password, the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To configure advanced settings, see the Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

The RJ-45 to DB-9 serial connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer.

A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management computer.

Connect the FortiGate internal interface to a management computer Ethernet interface.

Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through

Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.

Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface of the FortiGate unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.

To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).

Type admin in the Name field and select Login.
