Management

Configure the management interface in Transparent mode to set the management IP address of the FortiGate unit. Administrators connect to this IP address to administer the FortiGate unit. The FortiGate also uses this IP address to connect to the FDN for virus and attack updates (see “Update center” on page 118).

You can also configure interfaces to control how administrators connect to the FortiGate unit for administration. See “To control administrative access to an interface” on page 57.
