Factory default FortiGate configuration settings
The FortiGate unit is shipped with a factory default configuration. This default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager to
configure the FortiGate unit onto your network. To configure the FortiGate unit onto
your network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP
addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and configuring routing if required.
If you are planning on operating the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can
switch to transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure
the FortiGate unit onto your network in Transparent mode.
Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration
tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and
registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation
(NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external
network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal
network. You can add more policies to provide more control of the network traffic
passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default content profiles can be used to quickly apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, and email filtering to the network traffic
controlled by firewall policies.
