Using the CLI

After connecting to the CLI, you can use the following procedures to complete the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. Ensure you read the section “Connecting to the CLI” on page 19 before beginning.

Configure the interfaces

When shipped, the FortiGate unit has a default address of 192.168.1.99 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. for either the Port 1 or Internal interface. You need to configure this and other ports for use on your network.

end
