Figure 9: Select the Easy Setup Wizard

2Follow the instructions on the wizard pages and use the information that you gathered in Table 6 on page 28 and Table 8 on page 33 to fill in the wizard fields.

3Select the Next button to step through the wizard pages.

4Confirm the configuration settings, and then select Finish and Close.

Note: If you change the IP address of the interface you are connecting to, you must connect through a web browser again using the new address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the interface. If the new IP address of the interface is on a different subnet, you may have to change the IP address of your computer to the same subnet.

Note: If you use the setup wizard to configure internal server settings, the FortiGate unit adds port forwarding virtual IPs and firewall policies for each server. For each server located on your internal network the FortiGate unit adds a WAN1->Internal firewall policy.

You are now finished the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit.

Connecting the FortiGate unit to the network(s)

When you have completed the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate unit between your internal network and the Internet.

The following network connections are available on the FortiGate-60 unit:

A 4-port switch for connecting the FortiGate internal interface to your internal network,

One WAN1 port for connecting to your public switch or router and the Internet,

One WAN2 port for connecting to a second public switch or router and the Internet for a redundant Internet connection,
