Preparing to configure the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode
Use Table 6 to gather the information that you need to customize NAT/Route mode
settings.
You can configure the FortiGate unit in several ways:
• the web-based manager GUI is a complete interface for configuring most settings.
See “Using the web-based manager” on page 29.
• the front control buttons and LCD provide access to basic settings “Using the front
control buttons and LCD” on page 30.
• the command line interface (CLI) is a complete text-based interface for configuring
all settings. See “Using the command line interface” on page 31.
• the setup wizard provides easy, fast configuration of the most basic settings to get
the unit up and running quickly. See “Using the setup wizard” on page 34.
The method that you choose depends on the complexity of the configuration, access
and equipment, and the type of interface you are most comfortable using.
