Preparing to configure the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode

NAT/Route mode installation

DHCP or PPPoE configuration

You can configure any FortiGate interface to acquire its IP address from a DHCP or 
PPPoE server. Your ISP may provide IP addresses using one of these protocols.

To use the FortiGate DHCP server, you need to configure an IP address range and 
default route for the server. No configuration information is required for interfaces that 
are configured to use DHCP.

PPPoE requires you to supply a user name and password. In addition, PPPoE 
unnumbered configurations require you to supply an IP address. Use 

Table 6

 to 

record the information you require for your PPPoE configuration.

A default route consists of a default gateway and the name of the 

interface connected to the external network (usually the Internet). 

The default gateway directs all non-local traffic to this interface and 

to the external network.
