FortiGate-100 Transparent mode connections | Fortinet manual

Configure the Transparent mode default gateway	Transparent mode installation

Connecting the FortiGate unit to your networks

When you have completed the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate unit between your internal network and the Internet. You can also connect a network to the DMZ interface.

There are three 10/100Base-TX connectors on the FortiGate-100:

•Internal for connecting to your internal network

•External for connecting to the Internet

•DMZ for connecting to another network

To connect the FortiGate unit running in Transparent mode:

1Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to your internal network.

2Connect the External interface to the Internet.

Connect to the public switch or router provided by your Internet Service Provider.

3Connect the DMZ interface to another network.

Figure 9: FortiGate-100 Transparent mode connections

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit does not change the layer 3 topology. This means that all of its interfaces are on the same IP subnet and that it appears to other devices as a bridge. Typically, the FortiGate unit would be deployed in Transparent mode when it is intended to provide antivirus and content scanning behind an existing firewall solution.
