Using the web-based manager to configure Transparent mode

as the computer you will use to configure the FortiGate board.
2Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the port1
interface of the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board. To do this, change the IP
address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to
255.255.255.0.
3To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse
to https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).
