FortiGate-4000P network connections
Use the following steps to connect your internal and external networks to the
FortiGate-4000P pass-through interface modules. This is a general connection
procedure only. For information about how to connect the FortiGate-4000 unit for
different network configurations, see “Planning the FortiGate configuration” on
page 41.
1 Connect your internal network to the internal pass-through interface module.
The internal pass-through interface module is installed on the left rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000P (see Figure 6 on page 20).
You will need one network connection for each FortiBlade-4010 module installed in
the FortiGate-4000 chassis. Each FortiBlade-4010 module is connected to a different
interface on the pass-through interface module. See Figure 12 on page 24 for the
correspondence between the slots on the FortiGate-4000 chassis and the interfaces
on the pass-through interface module.
2 Connect your external network to the external pass-through interface module.
The internal pass-through interface module is installed on the right rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000P (see Figure 6 on page 20).
You will need one network connection for each FortiBlade-4010 module installed in
the FortiGate-4000 chassis. Each FortiBlade-4010 module is connected to a different
interface on the pass-through interface module. See Figure 12 on page 24 for the
correspondence between the slots on the FortiGate-4000 chassis and the interfaces
on the pass-through interface module.
