Fortinet 72 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
Access to the CLI and/or web UI through your network is not yet configured if:
• you are connecting for the first time
• you have just reset the configuration to its default state
• you have just restored the firmware
In these cases, you must initially connect your computer directly to FortiWeb, using the default
settings.
Via the direct connection, you can use the web UI or CLI to configure FortiWeb’s basic network
settings. Once this is done, you will be able to place FortiWeb on your network, and use
FortiWeb through your network.
Connecting to the web UI
You can connect to the web UI using its default settings.
If you are installing a FortiWeb-VM virtual appliance, you should have already connected if you
followed the instructions in the FortiWeb-VM Install Guide. If so, you can skip this chapter and
continue with “Changing the “admin” account password” on page 90.
Until the FortiWeb appliance is configured with an IP address and connected to your network,
you may prefer to connect the FortiWeb appliance directly to your management computer, or
through a switch, in a peer network that is isolated from your overall network. This will improve
security during setup. However, isolation is not required.
