Getting startedFortiGate model maximum values matrix

Front keypad and LCD

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode, you can use the control buttons and LCD to add the IP address of the FortiGate interfaces as well as the external default gateway.

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can use the control buttons and LCD to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the management IP address and default gateway.
