Secure installation, configuration, and management

Installation is quick and simple. The first time you turn on the FortiGate unit, it is already configured with default IP addresses and security policies. Connect to the web-based manager, set the operating mode, and use the setup wizard to customize FortiGate IP addresses for your network, and the FortiGate unit is set to protect your network. You can then use the web-based manager to customize advanced FortiGate features to meet your needs.

You can also create a basic configuration using the FortiGate command line interface (CLI).

Web-based manager

Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Internet Explorer, you can configure and manage the FortiGate unit. The web-based manager supports multiple languages. You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and HTTPs administration from any FortiGate interface.

You can use the web-based manager for most FortiGate configuration settings. You can also use the web-based manager to monitor the status of the FortiGate unit. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately without the need to reset the firewall or interrupt service. Once a satisfactory configuration has been established, it can be downloaded and saved. The saved configuration can be restored at any time.
