Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you changed the IP address of the internal 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 internal interface. The default
address of the internal interface is https://192.168.1.99.
You are now finished the initial configuration of the FortiGate unit, and can proceed to
“Next steps” on page 37.
Connecting the FortiGate unit to the network(s)
After you complete the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate-3000 unit
between the internal network and the Internet.
There are two fiber-optic gigabit ethernet connectors on the FortiGate-3000:
• Internal for connecting to the internal network,
• External for connecting to your public switch or router and the Internet.
