Configuring
NAT/Route mode
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit.

To reset the FortiGate unit to the factory defaults, in the CLI type the command execute factory reset
Transparent mode
You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall.
Upgrading to High Encryption
This FortiGate unit has a factory installed low encryption feature set. You can purchase a high encryption upgrade within 90 days of shipment from Fortinet. Fortinet Technical Support can provide a high encryption license key once you have provided suitable documentation that the necessary export licenses have been granted for your region, and our legal department has authorized the use of high encryption.
When you receive the high encryption license key, in the CLI, enter the command exec
Fortinet does not guarantee that the customer will receive a export license upon purchase of the product or license key.
1.Connect the FortiGate internal interface to a management computer Ethernet interface. Use a
2.Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface of the FortiGate unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3.To access the FortiGate
