To edit an administrator account

1Go to System > Config > Admin.

2To change an administrator account password, select Change Password .

3Type the Old Password.

4Type and confirm a new password.

For improved security, the password should be at least 6 characters long. The password can contain any characters except spaces. If you enter a password that is less than 6 characters long, the system displays a warning message but still accepts the password.

5Select OK.

6To edit the settings of an administrator account, select Edit .

7Optionally type a Trusted Host IP address and netmask for the location from which the administrator can log into the web-based manager.

If you want the administrator to be able to access the FortiGate unit from any address, set the trusted host to 0.0.0.0 and the netmask to 255.255.255.255.

To limit the administrator to only be able to access the FortiGate unit from a specific network, set the trusted host to the address of the network and set the netmask to the netmask for the network. For example, to limit an administrator to accessing the FortiGate unit from your internal network, set the trusted host to the address of your internal network (for example, 192.168.1.0) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.

8Change the administrator’s permission level as required.

9Select OK.

10To delete an administrator account, choose the account to delete and select Delete .

Configuring SNMP

You can configure the FortiGate SNMP agent to report system information and send traps to SNMP managers. Using an SNMP manager, you can access SNMP traps and data from any FortiGate interface or VLAN subinterface configured for SNMP management access.

The FortiGate SNMP implementation is read-only. SNMP v1 and v2c compliant SNMP managers have read-only access to FortiGate system information and can receive FortiGate traps. To monitor FortiGate system information and receive FortiGate traps you must compile Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as Fortinet-supported standard MIBs into your SNMP manager.

RFC support includes support for most of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of

RFC 1213 (MIB II) (for more information, see FortiGate MIBs).
