Using the command line interface
As an alternative to using the setup wizard, you can configure the FortiGate unit using the command line interface (CLI). To connect to the CLI, see “Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 20.
Configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode
Use the information that you gathered in Table 12 on page 34 to complete the following procedures.
Configuring NAT/Route mode IP addresses
1Log into the CLI if you are not already logged in.
2Set the IP address and netmask of the internal interface to the internal IP address and netmask that you recorded in Table 12 on page 34. Enter:
set system interface internal mode static ip <IP address> <netmask>
Example
set system interface internal mode static ip 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
3Set the IP address and netmask of the external interface to the external IP address and netmask that you recorded in Table 12 on page 34.
To set the manual IP address and netmask, enter:
set system interface external static ip <IP address> <netmask>
Example
set system interface external mode static ip 204.23.1.5 255.255.255.0
To set the external interface to use DHCP, enter:
set system interface external mode dhcp connection enable
To set the external interface to use PPPoE, enter:
set system interface external mode pppoe username <user name> password <password> connection enable
Example
set system interface external mode pppoe username user@domain.com password mypass connection enable
4Confirm that the addresses are correct. Enter: get system interface
The CLI lists the IP address, netmask and other settings for each of the FortiGate interfaces.
5Set the primary DNS server IP addresses. Enter set system dns primary <IP address>
Example
set system dns primary 293.44.75.21
