Factory default settings
The FortiController-5913C unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiController-5913C web-based
manager or CLI to configure the FortiController-5913C board. To configure the
FortiController-5913C board you add an administrator password, change the
management interface IP address, and, if required, configure the default route for the
management interface.
