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.

Using the command line interface

As an alternative to the web-based manager or setup wizard you can begin the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit using the command line interface (CLI). To connect to the CLI, see “Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 17. Use the information that you gathered in Table 9 on page 40 to complete the following procedures.
