The method you choose depends on the complexity of the configuration, access
and equipment, and the type of interface you are most comfortable using.
Using the web-based manager
You can use the web-based manager to complete the initial configuration of the
FortiGate unit. You can continue to use the web-based manager for all FortiGate
unit settings.
For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see “Connecting to
the web-based manager” on page 18.
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 Type the Management IP/Netmask address and Default Gateway address you
gathered in Table 10 on page 41.
5 Select Apply.
You do not have to reconnect to the web-based manager at this time. Once you
select Apply, the changes are immediate, and you can go to the system
dashboard to verify the FortiGate unit has changed to Transparent mode.
To configure DNS server settings
1 Go to System > Network > Options.
2 Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
3 Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server.
4 Select Apply.
Using the Command line interface
As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can begin the initial
configuration of the FortiGate unit using the command line interface (CLI). To
connect to the CLI, see “Connecting to the CLI” on page 19. Use the information
you gathered in Table 10 on page 41 to complete the following procedures.
