Configuring
Web-based Manager
Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first time. Configu-
ration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately without reset-
ting the FortiScan unit or interrupting service.
Requirements
:
•
An Ethernet connection between the FortiScan unit and management computer.
•
A web browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer on the management computer.
To connect to the web-based manager
1. Connect the Port 1 interface of the FortiScan unit to Ethernet port of the management
computer.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through
Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the FortiScan Port 1
interface. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2
and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiScan web-based manager, in your browser, go to https://192.168.1.99
