NAT/Route mode
Use the control buttons and LCD to:
•
configure the Port 1, Port 2, Port 3, and Port 4/HA interface IP addresses and
netmasks.
•
configure the Port 2 (external) interface Default Gateway.
Transparent mode

•
change the operating mode from NAT/Route to Transparent.
•
configure the Management Interface IP address and netmask.
•
configure the Default Gateway.
Note:
When you enter an IP address, the LCD display always shows three digits for each part of the IP address. For example, the IP address 192.168.100.1 appears on the LCD display as 192.168.100.001.
Using the
Command Line Interface
1. Use the serial cable to connect the FortiGate Console port to the management computer serial port.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use these settings:
Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None.
3. At the Login: prompt, type
admin
and press Enter twice (no password required).
1. Connect the FortiGate-400 Port 1 interface to a management computer Ethernet interface.
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.
Note:
If you change the Port 1 interface IP address (NAT/Route mode) or management IP address (Transparent mode), you must use this address to reconnect to the web-based manager and Setup Wizard.
You might also have to change the IP address of the management computer to be on the same subnet as the new IP address.
