Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration Getting started
If you are planning on operating the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can
switch to transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure
the FortiGate unit onto your network in Transparent mode.
Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration
tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and
registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation
(NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external
network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal
network. You can add more policies to provide more control of the network traffic
passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default content profiles can be used to quickly apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, and email filtering to the network traffic
controlled by firewall policies.

Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration
When the FortiGate unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and has
the basic network configuration listed in Table 2. This configuration allows you to
connect to the FortiGate unit web-based manager and establish the configuration
required to connect the FortiGate unit to your network. In Table 2 HTTPS
management access means you can connect to the web-based manager using this
interface. Ping management access means this interface responds to ping requests.
