Web-based Manager
Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first time. 

Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately with-

out resetting the FortiBridge unit or interrupting service.
To connect to the web-based manager

1.  Connect the management port of the FortiBridge unit to Ethernet port of the manage-

ment computer. 

Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through 

Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch. 

2.  Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the FortiBridge 

management port interface. 

To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and 

the netmask to 255.255.255.0.

3.  To access the FortiBridge web-based manager, in your browser, go to 

http://192.168.1.99. 

4.  Type 

admin in the Name field and click Login. 

Probes monitor the FortiGate unit by sending packets from the INT 2 interface through 

the FortiGate unit to the EXT 2 interface. If probe packets are not received at the EXT 2 

interface the FortiBridge unit detects a failure.
Configure probe settings to set actions on failure, add a dynamic IP pattern used by the 

probe packets, and enter the serial number of the FortiGate unit. Actions on failure can 

include failing open and sending an alert email, a syslog message, and an SNMP trap.
1.  Go to 

Probe > Settings.

2.  Enter the Probe IP address pattern (#.#.#.*).

3.  Enable ping, HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and/or IMAP probes. 

4.  Set the Port Number for each protocol.

5.  Change the Failure Threshold and probe Interval for each probe.
To set up Notifications

1.  Go to

 Probe > Notifications.

2.  Enter a Notification Message Tag.

3.  Optionally, select the Syslog check box and enter the IP address, port and facility of 

the Syslog server that receives FortiBridge syslog messages.

4.  Optionally, select the Email check box and enter the SMTP server, email addresses, 

SMTP user name, and password of the users to send the alert email. 

5.  Optionally, select the SNMP check box and enter the name, hosts, and traps of the 

SNMP manager to send alerts to a community.

1.  Go to 

System > Status > Management Port area and click Change.
