4. Device Configuration
The FortiGate unit requires some basic configuration to add it to your
network. These basic steps include assigning IP addresses, DNS
settings, and the default gateway. Until these steps are completed
traffic will not flow through the device.
In addition to FortiExplorer, the FortiGate unit can be configured using
the Web-based Manager or the CLI.
This section will step you through both methods of connecting to the
unit. Use whichever method you are most comfortable with.
To Connect to the Web-based Manager:
1.
Connect from the management port on the FortiGate unit to a
management computer using the provided Ethernet cable.
2.
Configure the management computer to be on the same
subnet as the internal interface of the FortiGate unit:
a.
Browse to the
Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection Properties
> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties
.
b.
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 FortiGate unit Web-based Manager, start a
browser of your choice and browse to https://192.168.1.99
(remember to include the “s” in https://).
4.
Type
admin
in the
Name
field, leave the
Password
field blank, and select
Login
.
You can now proceed with configuring your FortiGate unit.
