Setup wizard

The FortiGate setup wizard provides an easy way to configure the basic initial settings for the FortiGate unit. The wizard walks through the configuration of a new administrator password, FortiGate interfaces, DHCP server settings, internal servers (web, FTP, etc.), and basic antivirus settings.

Document conventions

This guide uses the following conventions to describe command syntax.

Angle brackets < > to indicate variables. For example:

execute restore config <filename_str>

You enter:

execute restore config myfile.bak

<xxx_str> indicates an ASCII string that does not contain new-lines or carriage returns.

<xxx_integer> indicates an integer string that is a decimal (base 10) number. <xxx_octet> indicates a hexadecimal string that uses the digits 0-9 and letters A-F.

<xxx_ipv4> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address. <xxx_v4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address followed by a dotted decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address. <xxx_v6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address followed by a dotted decimal IPv6 netmask.

Vertical bar and curly brackets {} to separate alternative, mutually exclusive required keywords.

For example:

set opmode {nat transparent}

You can enter set opmode nat or set opmode transparent.

Square brackets [ ] to indicate that a keyword or variable is optional. For example:

show system interface [<name_str>]

To show the settings for all interfaces, you can enter show system interface. To show the settings for the internal interface, you can enter show system interface internal.

A space to separate options that can be entered in any combination and must be separated by spaces.
