Using the setup wizard Transparent mode installation
Using the setup wizard
From the web-based manager, you can use the setup wizard to begin the initial
configuration of the FortiGate unit. For information about connecting to the web-based
manager, see “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 14.
The first time you connect to the FortiGate unit, it is configured to run in NAT/Route
mode.
To switch to Transparent mode using the web-based manager
1 Go to System > Status.
2 Select Change beside the Operation Mode.
3 Select Transparent in the Operation Mode list.
4 Select OK.
To reconnect to the web-based manager, change the IP address of the management
computer to 10.10.10.2. Connect to the internal interface or port 1, 2, or 3 and browse
to https:// followed by the Transparent mode management IP address. The default
FortiGate Transparent mode management IP address is 10.10.10.1.
To start the setup wizard
1 Select Easy Setup Wizard (the middle button in the upper-right corner of the
web-based manager).
2 Use the information that you gathered in Table 8 on page 38 to fill in the wizard fields.
Select the Next button to step through the wizard pages.
3 Confirm your configuration settings, and then select Finish and Close.
Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the
setup wizard, you must reconnect to the web-based manager using the new IP
address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management
interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to
https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make
sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP
default gateway field.
Connecting the FortiGate unit to your network
After you complete the initial configuration of the FortiGate-1000 unit, you can connect
the FortiGate-1000 unit between your internal network and the Internet and to other
networks.
There are two gigabit connectors on the FortiGate-1000:
• Internal for connecting to your internal network,
• External for connecting to an external firewall or router.
