Configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode NAT/Route mode installation

To add a default route

Add a default route to configure where the FortiGate unit sends traffic that should be sent to an external network (usually the Internet). Adding the default route also defines which interface is connected to an external network. The default route is not required if the interface connected to the external network is configured using DHCP or PPPoE.

•Set the default route to the Default Gateway IP address. Enter:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 set gateway <gateway_IP> set device <interface>

end

Example

If the default gateway IP is 204.23.1.2 and this gateway is connected to the external interface:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 set gateway 204.23.1.2 set device external

end

Using the setup wizard

From the web-based manager, you can use the setup wizard to complete the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit. For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 16.

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode (the default), you can use the setup wizard to:

•add the administration password

•configure the internal interface address

•choose either a manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address for the external interface

•add a default route for the external interface

•add the DNS server IP addresses

•add the DHCP server settings and IP addresses

•add various internal server IP addresses including web, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and FTP servers

•set the antivirus protection to high, medium, or none

Table 8 lists the additional settings that you can configure with the setup wizard. See

Table 6 on page 28 and Table 7 on page 29 for other settings.
