Preparing to configure NAT/Route mode

NAT/Route mode installation

 

 

To use the factory default configuration, follow these steps to install the FortiGate unit:

1Configure the TCP/IP settings of the computers on your internal network to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. Refer to your computer documentation for assistance.

2Complete the procedure in the section “Connecting the FortiGate unit to your networks” on page 37.

Changing the default configuration

You can use the procedures in this chapter to change the default configuration. For example, if your ISP assigns IP addresses using PPPoE instead of DHCP, you only need to change the configuration of the external interface. Use the information in the rest of this chapter to change the default configuration as required.
