Fortinet 500A Benutzerhandbuch

The FortiGate unit default configuration includes default interface IP addresses and is 
only a few steps away from protecting your network. There are several ways to 
configure basic FortiGate settings:

• the web-based manager,
• the front panel front keypad and LCD,
• the command line interface (CLI), or
• the setup wizard.

The CLI or the web-based manager can then be used to complete configuration and 
to perform maintenance and administration.

Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Internet 
Explorer, you can configure and manage the FortiGate unit. The web-based manager 
supports multiple languages. You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and 
HTTPS administration from any FortiGate interface.

You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings. You can 
also use the web-based manager to monitor the status of the FortiGate unit. 
Configuration changes made using the web-based manager are effective immediately 
without resetting the firewall or interrupting service. Once you are satisfied with a 
configuration, you can download and save it. The saved configuration can be restored 
at any time.
