Connecting to the FortiGate-4000 10/100 out of band management module
To connect to the web-based manager of a FortiGate-4000 unit using the
FortiGate-4000 10/100 out of band management module, you must connect the out of
band management module to the same network as your management computer.

the same internal, external, and out of band management IP addresses. To connect to a

to all of the other FortiGate-4000 units must be turned off.
