FortiGate-400 Installation and Configuration Guide 65

Registering your FortiGate

After purchasing and installing a new FortiGate unit, you can register the unit by going
to System > Update > Support, or using a web browser to connect to
http://support.fortinet.com and selecting Product Registration.
Registration consists of entering your contact information and the serial numbers of
the FortiGate units you or your organization have purchased. Registration is quick and
easy. You can register multiple FortiGate units in a single session without re-entering
your contact information.
For more information about registration, see “Registering FortiGate units” on
page 125.

Configuring virus and attack definition updates

You can go to System > Update to configure the FortiGate unit to automatically check
to see if new versions of the virus definitions and attack definitions are available. If it
finds new versions, the FortiGate unit automatically downloads and installs the
updated definitions.
The FortiGate unit uses HTTPS on port 8890 to check for updates. FortiGate interface
2 must have a path to the FortiResponse Distribution Network (FDN) using port 8890.
To configure automatic virus and attack updates, see “Updating antivirus and attack
definitions” on page 115.
Connecting the FortiGate unit to your networks
When you have completed the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate-400
unit to your networks.
The FortiGate-400 has four 10/100Base-TX connectors that can be connected to up
to four different networks. You can connect them in any configuration.
For example, you can connect the FortiGate-400 interfaces using the following steps:
1Connect interface 1 to the hub or switch connected to your internal network.
2Connect interface 2 to the public switch or router provided by your Internet Service
Provider.
3Optionally connect interfaces 3 and 4/HA to hubs or switches connected to your other
networks (the example shows a connection to interface 3).
