You can use the web-based manager GUI, the control buttons and LCD, or the 
command line interface (CLI) for the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit. You can 
use the web-based manager setup wizard for easy configuration of a few more 
advanced settings.
Web-based manager
You can configure most basic and advanced setting from the web-based manager 
GUI.
CLI
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode, you can add 
the administration password and all interface addresses using the CLI. You can also 
add DNS server IP addresses and a default route for the external interface.
Additionally, you can use the CLI to configure the external interface for either a 
manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address. You can change the 
configuration of the FortiGate DHCP server to supply IP addresses for the computers 
on your internal network.
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can use 
the CLI to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the administration 
password, the management IP address and gateway, and the DNS server addresses.
Front control buttons and LCD
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode, you can use 
the control buttons and LCD to add the IP address of the FortiGate interfaces as well 
as the external default gateway.
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in Transparent mode, you can use 
the control buttons and LCD to switch to Transparent mode. Then you can add the 
management IP address and default gateway.
Setup wizard
If you are configuring the FortiGate unit to operate in NAT/Route mode (the default), 
you can use the setup wizard to:
• add the administration password
• configure the internal interface address
• choose either a manual (static) or a dynamic (DHCP or PPPoE) address for the 
external interface
