Changing DNS server IP addresses

Change the FortiBridge DNS server IP addresses to the IP addresses of your DNS servers. The correct DNS server configuration is required for alert email.

To change DNS server IP addresses

1Log in to the CLI.

2Change the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. Enter:

config system dns

set primary <address_ipv4> set secondary <address_ipv4>

end

For example:

config system dns

set primary 192.168.30.23 set secondary 192.168.30.24

end

Adding static routes

Add static routes if you need to route packets from the FortiBridge unit through a router to another network. For example, if alert email sends email messages from the internal network to an email server on the Internet, you should add a route to the Internet.

To add static routes

1Log in to the CLI.

2Add the default route. Enter:

config system route

edit <sequence_integer>

set gateway <gateway-address_ipv4>

end

For example:

config system route edit 1

set gateway 192.168.20.1

end

3If required for your network configuration, add a static route. Enter:

config system route

edit <sequence_integer>

set gateway <gateway-address_ipv4>

set dst <destination-address_ipv4mask>

end

For example:

config system route edit 2

set gateway 192.168.20.3

set dst 192.168.22.0 255.255.255.0

end
