Connecting the FortiGate unit to the network(s)

NAT/Route mode installation

There are three 10/100Base-TX connectors on the FortiGate-3000:

• interfaces 1 and 2 for connecting two networks to the FortiGate-3000.
• interface 3 for connecting a DMZ network or another network to the 

FortiGate-3000.

There is also a copper gigabit ethernet connector (4/HA) used to connect to another 
FortiGate-3000 for high availability (see 

“High availability installation” on page 47

) or 

to connect to a fourth network.

To connect the FortiGate-3000 unit running in NAT/Route mode

1

Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to the internal network.

2

Connect the External interface to your public switch or router.

3

Optionally, connect interfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4/HA to networks.

Figure 9: FortiGate-3000 NAT/Route mode connections

Note: 

 You can also create redundant connections to the Internet by connecting two interfaces 

to separate Internet connections. For example, you could connect the external interface and 
interface 1 to different Internet connections, each provided by a different service provider.
