Configuring Transparent mode
Use Table 9 to gather the information you need to customize Transparent mode
settings.
Using the web-based manager to configure Transparent mode
1 Connect port1 of the FortiGate-5001A board to the same hub or switch as the
computer you will use to configure the FortiGate board.
2 Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the port1
interface of the FortiGate-5001A board. To do this, change the IP address of the
management computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3 To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse
to https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).
