QuickStart Guide
.
To connect to the GUI:
1. Connect the FortiAnalyzer unit to a management computer by using an Ethernet cable.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface of the FortiAnalyzer unit: l
IP address: 192.168.1.X
l
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
3. On the management computer, start a supported web browser and browse to https://192.168.1.99.
4. Type admin in the User Name field, leave the Password field blank, and click Login.
5. If ADOMs are enabled, the Select an ADOM pane is displayed. Click an ADOM to select it.
The home page of tiles is displayed.

If the network interfaces have been configured differently during installation, the URL and/or permitted administrative access protocols (such as HTTPS) may no longer be in their default state.
For information on enabling administrative access protocols and configuring IP addresses, see
Configuring ports and administrator access on page 30
.
If the URL is correct and you still cannot access the GUI, you may also need to configure static routes. For details, see
Adding a static route on page 31

After logging in for the first time, you should create an administrator account for yourself and assign the
Super_
