DHCP or PPPoE configuration

You can configure any FortiGate interface to acquire its IP address from a DHCP or PPPoE server. Your ISP may provide IP addresses using one of these protocols.

To use the FortiGate DHCP server, you need to configure an IP address range and default route for the server. No configuration information is required for interfaces that are configured to use DHCP.

PPPoE requires you to supply a user name and password. In addition, PPPoE unnumbered configurations require you to supply an IP address. Use Table 7 to record the information you require for your PPPoE configuration.

Using the web-based manager

You can use the web-based manager for the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit.

You can also continue to use the web-based manager for all FortiGate unit settings.

For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 16.
