NAT/Route mode installation

Configuring the FortiGate unit

DHCP or PPPoE configuration

You can configure any FortiGate interface to acquire its IP address from a DHCP 
or PPPoE server. Your Internet Service Provider (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 11

 to 

record the information you require for your PPPoE configuration. 

Table 11: PPPoE settings

Using the web-based manager

Use the web-based manager for the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit for all 
FortiGate unit settings. For more information about connecting to the web-based 
manager, see 

“Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 16

.

Configuring basic settings

After connecting to the web-based manager, you can use the following 
procedures to complete the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. 

To add/change the administrator password

1

Go to 

System > Admin > Administrators

.

2

Select the Change Password icon for the admin administrator.

3

Enter the new password and enter it again to confirm.

4

Select OK.

To configure interfaces

1

Go to 

System > Network > Interface

.

2

Select the edit icon for an interface.

3

Set the addressing mode for the interface.

Choose from manual, DHCP, or PPPoE.

4

Complete the addressing configuration.
• For manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.
• For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and any required settings. 
• For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and enter the username and password 

and any other required settings.

For information about how to configure these and other interface settings, see the 

FortiGate online help
