3Select Transparent in the Operation Mode list.

4Select OK.

To reconnect to the web-based manager, change the IP address of the management computer to 10.10.10.2. Connect to the internal or DMZ interface and browse to https:// followed by the Transparent mode management IP address. The default FortiGate Transparent mode management IP address is 10.10.10.1.

Reconnecting to the web-based manager

If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the setup wizard, you must reconnect to the web-based manager using the new IP address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP default gateway field.
