• One DMZ port for connecting to a DMZ network.
• Modem is the interface for connecting an external modem to the FortiGate-60. See
“Configuring the Modem interface” on page 36
To connect the FortiGate unit:
1
Connect the Internal interface connectors to PCs and other network devices in your
internal network.
The Internal interface functions as a switch, allowing up to four devices to be
connected to the internal network and the internal interface.
2
Connect the WAN1 interface to the Internet.
Connect to the public switch or router provided by your Internet Service Provider. If
you are a DSL or cable subscriber, connect the WAN1 interface to the internal or LAN
connection of your DSL or cable modem.
3
Optionally connect the WAN2 interface to the Internet.
Connect to the public switch or router, usually provided by a different Internet Service
Provider. If you are a DSL or cable subscriber, connect the WAN2 interface to the
internal or LAN connection of your DSL or cable modem.
4
Optionally, connect the DMZ interface to your DMZ network.
You can use a DMZ network to provide access from the Internet to a web server or
other server without installing the servers on your internal network.
