FortiGate-100 Installation and Configuration Guide 45
Using the setup wizard
From the web-based manager, you can use the setup wizard to create the initial
configuration of your FortiGate unit. To connect to the web-based manager, see
“Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 30.
Starting the setup wizard
1 Select Easy Setup Wizard (the middle button in the upper-right corner of the
web-based manager).
2 Use the information that you gathered in Table 10 on page 43 to fill in the wizard fields.
Select the Next button to step through the wizard pages.
3 Confirm your configuration settings and then select Finish and Close.
Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you used the setup wizard to change the IP address of the internal interface, you
must reconnect to the web-based manager using a new IP address. Browse to https://
followed by the new IP address of the internal interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect
to the web-based manager by browsing to https://192.168.1.99.
You have now completed the initial configuration of your FortiGate unit, and you can
proceed to “Connecting the FortiGate unit to your networks” on page 47.
Using the command line interface
As an alternative to using the setup wizard, you can configure the FortiGate unit using
the command line interface (CLI). To connect to the CLI, see “Connecting to the
command line interface (CLI)” on page 31.
Configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode
Use the information that you gathered in Table 10 on page 43 to complete the
following procedures.
Configuring NAT/Route mode IP addresses
1 Log into the CLI if you are not already logged in.
2 Set the IP address and netmask of the internal interface to the internal IP address and
netmask that you recorded in Table 10 on page 43. Enter:
set system interface internal mode static ip <IP address>
<netmask>
Example
set system interface internal mode static ip 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
Note: If you use the setup wizard to configure internal server settings, the FortiGate unit adds
port forwarding virtual IPs and firewall policies for each server. For each server located on your
internal network the FortiGate unit adds an Ext->Int policy. For each server located on your
DMZ network, the FortiGate unit adds an Ext->DMZ policy.
