You can configure the FortiGate unit in several ways:

See “Using the web-based manager” on page 28.
the command line interface (CLI) is a complete text-based interface for configuring
all settings. See “Using the command line interface” on page 30.

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.
