Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the
setup wizard, you must reconnect to the web-based manager using the new IP
address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management
interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to
https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make
sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP
default gateway field.
The IP address of the out of band management interface is not changed from the
setup wizard. If you connected to the FortiGate unit using the out of band
management interface you do not have to reconnect after completing the wizard.
Using the command line interface
As an alternative to the setup wizard, you can begin the initial configuration of the
FortiGate unit using the command line interface (CLI). To connect to the CLI, see
“Connecting to the Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 47. Use the information
that you gathered in Table 23 on page 69 to complete the following procedures.

4 Confirm that the FortiGate unit has switched to Transparent mode. Enter:
get system status
The CLI displays the status of the FortiGate unit. The last line shows the current
operation mode.
Operation mode: Transparent
Configuring the Transparent mode management IP address
1 Make sure that you are logged into the CLI.
2 Set the management IP address and netmask to the IP address and netmask that you
recorded in Table 23 on page 69. Enter:
set system management ip <IP address> <netmask>
Example
set system management ip 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
3 Confirm that the address is correct. Enter:

The CLI lists the management IP address and netmask.
