Factory default configuration

Each FortiGate-4000 unit in a FortiGate-4000 chassis is shipped with a factory default

configuration. The default configuration allows you to connect to and use the

FortiGate web-based manager to configure the FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network.

To configure the FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network, you add an administrator

password, change network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and

configure routing, if required.

If you plan to operate the FortiGate-4000 unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to

Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the

FortiGate-4000 unit onto the network in Transparent mode.

Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration

tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and

registering the FortiGate-4000 unit.

The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation

(NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external

network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal

network. You can add more policies to provide more control of the network traffic

passing through the FortiGate-4000 units.

The factory default content profiles can be used to apply different levels of antivirus

protection, web content filtering, and email filtering to the network traffic that is

controlled by firewall policies.

Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration

When the FortiGate-4000 unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and

has the basic network configuration listed in Tabl e 12 . This configuration allows you to

connect to the FortiGate-4000 unit web-based manager and establish the

configuration required to connect the FortiGate-4000 unit to the network. In Ta ble 12,

HTTPS management access means you can connect to the web-based manager

using this interface. Ping management access means this interface responds to ping

requests.
