Place the unit on a stable surface. It requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance above and 

on each side to allow for cooling.

Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route 

mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All 

of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must 

be configured with an IP 

address that is valid for 

that network.

You would typically use 

NAT/Route mode when 

the FortiGate unit is 

deployed as a gateway 

between private and 

public networks. In its  

default NAT/Route 

mode configuration, 

the unit functions as a 

firewall. Firewall policies 

control communica-

tions through the FortiGate unit. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add 

firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route 

mode. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before IP 

packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on 

the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make 

configuration changes. 

You would typically use the  

FortiGate unit in Trans-

parent mode on a private 

network behind an existing 

firewall or behind a router. 

In its default Transparent 

mode configuration, the unit 

functions as a firewall. No 

traffic can pass through the 

FortiGate unit until you add 

firewall policies. 

You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between                                 

these network  segments.AAA

Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control traffic, and how to configure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content filtering, Spam filtering, 

intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool. Use it to configure 

the administrator password, the interface and default gateway addresses, and the DNS 

server addresses.

Requirements: 

An Ethernet connection between the FortiGate unit and management computer. 

Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher on the management computer.
