Reconnecting to the web-based manager
When the FortiGate unit has switched to Transparent mode, you can reconnect to
the web-based manager using the new IP address. Browse to https:// followed by
the new IP address. If you connect to the management interface through a router,
make sure you have added a default gateway for that route to the management IP
default gateway field.
Connecting the FortiGate unit to your network
When you complete the initial configuration, you can connect the FortiGate unit
between your internal network and the Internet, and optionally connect an
additional network to the other interfaces if applicable.
To connect the FortiGate unit running in Transparent mode:
1 Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to your internal
network.
2 Connect the External or WAN1 interface to network segment connected to the
external firewall or router.
Connect to the public switch or router provided by your ISP.

To verify the connection, try the following:
• ping the FortiGate unit
• browse to the web-based manager GUI
