Connect the FortiGate-3000 unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate-3000 unit is visible to the networks 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-3000 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 communications
through the FortiGate-3000 unit. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate-3000 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-3000 unit performs network address translation before IP
packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate-3000 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-3000 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-3000 unit until you add firewall policies.
You can connect up to 6 network segments to the FortiGate-3000 unit to control traffic
between these network segments.

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate-3000, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into
your network. Your configuration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
Web-based
manager &
Setup Wizard
The FortiGate web-based
manager Setup Wizard
guides you through the
initial configuration steps.
Use it to configure the administrator password, the
interface addresses, the default gateway address, and
the DNS server addresses. Optionally, use the Setup
Wizard to configure the internal server settings for
NAT/Route mode.
Requirements:
• Ethernet connection between the FortiGate-3000
and management computer.
• Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on the
management computer.
Command Line
Interface (CLI)
The CLI is a full-featured
management tool.
Use it to configure the
administrator password,
the interface addresses,
the default gateway
address, and the DNS
server addresses. To
configure advanced settings, see the Documentation
CD-ROM.
Requirements:
• Serial connection between the FortiGate-3000 and
management computer.
• A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for
Windows) on the management computer.
Control
Buttons &
LCD
The control buttons and LCD are located on the front
panel of the FortiGate-3000. Use them to configure the
internal, external and DMZ (Port 3) interface addresses,
and the default gateway address. To configure the other
interface addresses, the DNS server addresses and
other settings, use the web-based manager, or the CLI.
Requirements:
• Physical access to the FortiGate-3000.
Choose among three different tools to configure the FortiGate-3000.

• Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch rack. It requires 2 U of vertical space in
the rack.
• Make sure the power switch on the back of the unit is turned off before
connecting the power and network cables.
• MAIN MENU appears when the unit is up and running.
• If only one power supply is connected, an audible alarm sounds to indicate
