Transparent mode installation Using the setup wizard

Example

If the default gateway IP is 204.23.1.2 and this gateway is connected to port 2:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 set gateway 204.23.1.2 set device port2

end

Using the setup wizard

From the web-based manager, you can use the setup wizard to begin 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.

The first time you connect to the FortiGate unit, it is configured to run in NAT/Route mode.

To switch to Transparent mode using the web-based manager

1Go to System > Status.

2Select Change beside the Operation Mode.

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.

To start the setup wizard

1Select Easy Setup Wizard (the middle button in the upper-right corner of the web-based manager).

2Use the information that you gathered in Table 9 on page 40 to fill in the wizard fields. Select the Next button to step through the wizard pages.

3Confirm your configuration settings, and then select Finish and Close.

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.
