Fortinet MR8 manual Using the setup wizard, To configure DNS server settings

Using the setup wizard NAT/Route mode installation

To configure DNS server settings

•Set the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. Enter

config system dns

set primary <address_ip> set secondary <address_ip>

end

Example

config system dns

set primary 293.44.75.21 set secondary 293.44.75.22

end

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 WAN1:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 set gateway 204.23.1.2 set device wan1

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.
