Configuration options

Getting started

Configuration options

Once you have selected Transparent or NAT/Route mode operation, you can 
complete the configuration plan and begin to configure the FortiGate unit.

You can use the web-based manager GUI, the command line interface (CLI) for the 
basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. You can use the web-based manager setup 
wizard for easy configuration of a few more advanced settings.

Web-based manager

You can configure most basic and advanced setting from the web-based manager 
GUI.

CLI

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode, you can add 
the administration password and all interface addresses using the CLI. You can also 
add DNS server IP addresses and a default route for the external interface.

Additionally, you can use the CLI to configure the external interface for either a 
manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address. You can change the 
configuration of the FortiGate DHCP server to supply IP addresses for the computers 
on your internal network.

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can use 
the CLI to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the administration 
password, the management IP address and gateway, and the DNS server addresses.

Setup wizard

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode (the default), 
you can use the setup wizard to:

• add the administration password
• configure the internal interface address
• choose either a manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address for the 

external interface

• add a default route for the external interface
• add the DNS server IP addresses
• add the DHCP server settings and IP addresses
• add various internal server IP addresses including web, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and 

FTP servers

• set the antivirus protection to high, medium, or none

If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can 
switch to Transparent mode from the web-based manager and then use the setup 
wizard to add the administration password, the management IP address and gateway, 
and the DNS server addresses.
