Using the setup wizard

From the web-based manager, you can use the setup wizard to create the initial configuration of your FortiGate unit. To connect to the web-based manager, see “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 32.

Changing to Transparent mode

The first time that you connect to the FortiGate unit, it is configured to run in

NAT/Route mode. To switch to Transparent mode using the web-based manager:

1Go to System > Status.

2Select Change to Transparent Mode.

3Select Transparent in the Operation Mode list.

4Select OK.

The FortiGate unit changes to Transparent mode.

To reconnect to the web-based manager, change the IP address of your management computer to 10.10.10.2. Connect to interface 1, 2, or 3 and browse to https:// followed by the Transparent mode management IP address. The default FortiGate Transparent mode Management IP address is 10.10.10.1.

Starting the setup wizard

To start the setup wizard:

1Select Easy Setup Wizard (the middle button in the upper-right corner of the web-based manager).

2Use the information that you gathered in Table 14 on page 61 to fill in the wizard fields. Select the Next button to step through the wizard pages.

3Confirm your configuration settings and then select Finish and Close.

Reconnecting to the web-based manager

If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the setup wizard, you must reconnect to the web-based manager using the new IP address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP default gateway field.
