Configuring the FortiWiFi

NAT/Route mode installation

Adding a default route

Add a default route to configure where the FortiWiFi unit sends traffic destined for 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.

To add a default route

1Go to Router > Static.

2If the Static Route table contains a default route (IP and Mask set to 0.0.0.0), select the Delete icon to delete this route.

3Select Create New.

4Set Destination IP to 0.0.0.0.

5Set Mask to 0.0.0.0.

6Set Gateway to the default gateway IP address.

7Set Device to the interface connected to the external network.

8Select OK.

Verifying the web-based manager configuration

To verify access settings, go to the interface you want to verify and select the edit icon. The Administrative Access field should have check marks beside the settings you chose in the preceeding steps.

Verify the connection

To verify your connection, try the following:

browse to www.fortinet.com

retrieve or send email from your email account

If you cannot browse to the web site or retrieve/send email from your account, review the previous steps to ensure all information was entered correctly and try again.

Using the command line interface

You can also configure the FortiWiFi unit using the command line interface (CLI). For information about connecting to the CLI, see “Connecting to the CLI” on page 19.
