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 ashes 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 congure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your conguration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route
mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
NAT/Route 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
congured 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 pri-
vate and public networks.
In its default NAT/Route
mode conguration, the
unit functions as a rewall.
Firewall policies control
communications through
the FortiGate unit. No
trafc can pass through
the FortiGate unit until you add rewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, rewall 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.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to congure a management IP address so that you can make
conguration changes.
You would typically use the
FortiGate unit in Transparent
mode on a private network
behind an existing rewall or
behind a router. In its default
Transparent mode congura-
tion, the unit functions as a
rewall. No trafc can pass
through the FortiGate unit until
you add rewall policies.
You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control trafc between
these network segments.

Quick conguration using the default settings
You can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small ofce 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 congure the required settings for the external interface. You can also
congure 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.
