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. 

Plug in power cable to unit before connecting power. 

The Status light flashes while the unit is starting up and turns off when the system is up 

and running.

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 configu-

ration, the unit functions as 

a firewall. Firewall policies 

control communications 

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 Transparent 

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.

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).

You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the web-based 

manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.

All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based 

manager, and configure the required settings for the external interface. You can also  

configure DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiGate unit automatically assigns IP 

addresses for up to 100 computers in the internal network.

Connect the FortiGate unit to the network.

Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.

The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns 

IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate  

web-based manager appears.

Go to 

System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the External interface.
