Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

Getting started

 

 

If you are planning on operating the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the FortiGate unit onto your network in Transparent mode.

Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and registering the FortiGate unit.

The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal network. You can add more policies to provide more control of the network traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.

The factory default content profiles can be used to quickly apply different levels of antivirus protection, web content filtering, and email filtering to the network traffic controlled by firewall policies.

When the FortiGate unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and has the basic network configuration listed in Table 2. This configuration allows you to connect to the FortiGate unit web-based manager and establish the configuration required to connect the FortiGate unit to your network. In Table 2 HTTPS management access means you can connect to the web-based manager using this interface. Ping management access means this interface responds to ping requests.
