Fortinet 60B manual Adding firewall policies, To modify the default gateway 1 Go to Router Static

Configuring NAT mode Configuring

For an initial configuration, you must edit the factory configured static default route to specify a different default gateway for the FortiGate unit. This will enable the flow of data through the FortiGate unit.

For details on adding additional static routes, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

To modify the default gateway

1Go to Router > Static.

2Select Edit for the default route

3In the Gateway field, type the IP address of the next-hop router where outbound traffic is directed.

4If the FortiGate unit reaches the next-hop router through a different interface (compared to the interface that is currently selected in the Device field), select the name of the interface from the Device field.

5Select OK.

Adding firewall policies

Firewall policies enable traffic to flow through the FortiGate interfaces. Firewall policies define how the FortiGate unit processes the packets in a communication session. You can configure the firewall policies to allow only specific traffic, users and specific times when traffic is allowed.

For the initial installation, a single firewall policy that enables all traffic through will enable you to verify your configuration is working. On lower-end units such a default firewall policy is already in place. For the higher end FortiGate units, you will need to add a firewall policy.

The following steps add two policies that allows all traffic through the FortiGate unit, to enable you to continue testing the configuration on the network.
