Copper gigabit connection to 10/100/1000 copper 
networks. The ports are enhanced with a Small Packet 
Performance (SPP) Co-processor. The SPP significantly 
increases the firewall performance of small packets that 
are smaller than 512 bytes used by applications such as 
web access and email.

Green

Normal operation.

Blue

The FortiGate-5002FB2 is changing from hot swap to running mode or 
from running mode to hot swap.

Off

Normal operation. The FortiGate-5002FB2 module is in contact with 
the backplane of the FortiGate-5000 series chassis.

Ports 1 - 6

Green

The correct cable is connected to the copper 10/100/1000 interface 
and the connected equipment has power.

Network activity at this interface.

Amber

The interface is connected at 1000 Mbps.

Install the FortiGate-5002FB2 module into a FortiGate 5020, 5050 or 5140 chassis and connect 

the network cables. Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap to avoid static discharges.

NAT/Route mode

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate-5002FB2 module is visible to the networks that it is 

connected to. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is 

connected to a network must be configured with an IP address that is valid for that 

network.
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate-5002FB2 module is 

deployed as a gateway between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route 

mode configuration, the module functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control 

communications through the FortiGate-5002FB2 module. No traffic can pass through 

the FortiGate-5002FB2 module until you add firewall policies.

In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In 

NAT mode, the FortiGate-5002FB2 module performs network address translation 

before IP packets are sent to the destination network. In route mode, no translation 

takes place.

Transparent mode

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate-5002FB2 module is invisible to the network. All of 

its interfaces are on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP 

address so that you can make configuration changes. 
You would typically use the FortiGate-5002FB2 module in Transparent mode on a 

private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent 

mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. No traffic can pass through the 

FortiGate-5002FB2 module until you add firewall policies. 

You can connect up to six network segments to the FortiGate-5002FB2 module to 

control traffic between these network segments.

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate-5002FB2 module, you need to plan how to integrate 

the unit into your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you 

select: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

Web-based manager and 

Setup Wizard

Using the Setup Wizard you can configure 

basic configuration settings by stepping 

through the wizard pages and filling in the 

information required.
The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy 

to use management tool. 
Use it to configure the administrator password, 

interface addresses, the default gateway 

address, and the DNS server addresses. To 

configure advanced settings, see the online help and Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

 

An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate-5002FB2 and a management 

computer. 

Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on the management computer. 

Command Line Interface 

(CLI)

The CLI is a full-featured management tool.
Use it to configure the administrator 

password, the interface addresses, the 

default gateway address, and the DNS 

server addresses. To configure advanced 

settings, see the 

FortiGate CLI Reference 

Guide

 on the Documentation CD-ROM.

Requirements:

 

The serial connection between the 

FortiGate-5002FB2 module and a 

management computer. 

A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management 

computer. 

Choose between two different tools to configure the FortiGate-5002FB2 module. 

QuickStart Guide

FortiGate-5002FB2

Check that the package contents are complete. 

To install the FortiGate-5002FB2 module

1. Install the RAM DIMMs into the module by pushing the RAM DIM gently until the 

locking mechanism locks down the DIM.

2. Extend the extraction levers on the module.
3. Carefully slide the module into a chassis slot. 

The module is seated properly 

when it touches the chassis up to the extraction levers.

4. Lock the extraction levers by pushing them towards each other.
5. If power is supplied to the chassis, the FortiGate-5002FB2 module powers on 

when the extraction levers are closed.

6. Tighten the mounting knots on the left and right sides of the front panel.
7. The power switch is built-in to the left side extraction lever. Ensure that the 

lockdown thumbscrew is tightened to ensure that power is not interrupted.
