Planning the Configuration
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
5. Select one of the following Addressing modes
Quick configuration using the default settings
•
•
•
Manual: enter a static IP address and netmask, select OK, and go to step 6
DHCP: to get an IP address from the ISP select DHCP and go to step 9
PPPoE: to get an IP address from the ISP select PPPoE and go to step 9
You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the web-based
manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.
6. Go to System > Network > DNS.
7. Select one of the following DNS settings
All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based
manager, and configure the required settings for the WAN1 interface. You can also configure
DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiGate unit automatically assigns IP addresses to
up to 100 computers in the internal network.
•
Obtain DNS server address automatically: select to get the DNS addresses from the
ISP, select Apply
•
Use the following DNS server addresses: select and enter the DNS server address-
es given to you by the ISP, select Apply
1. Connect the FortiGate unit to the network.
2. Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and as-
signs IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.
based manager appears.
8. Go to Router > Static, select Create New, enter the default gateway address and select
OK. Network configuration is complete. Proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.
9. Select Retrieve default gateway from server and Override internal DNS options if your
ISP supports them, select OK, and proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.
Go to step 6 if you are not selecting these options.
4. Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the WAN1 interface.
Transparent mode
NAT/Route mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make
configuration changes.
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All
of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface connected to a network must be
configured with an IP address that is valid for that network.
You would typically use the FortiGate
unit in Transparent mode on a private
network behind an existing firewall or
behind a router. In its default Trans-
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway
