Changing to NAT/Route mode

Use the following procedure to change the FortiGate unit from Transparent mode to

NAT/Route mode. After you change the FortiGate unit to NAT/Route mode, most of

the configuration resets to NAT/Route mode factory defaults.

The following items are not set to NAT/Route mode factory defaults:

• The admin administrator account password (see “Adding and editing administrator

accounts” on page 172)

• HA settings (see “High availability” on page 73)

• Custom replacement messages (see “Replacement messages” on page 181)

To change to NAT/Route mode

1 Go to System > Status.

2 Select Change to NAT Mode.

3 Select NAT/Route in the operation mode list.

4 Select OK.

The FortiGate unit changes operation mode.

5 To reconnect to the web-based manager you must connect to the interface configured

By default in NAT/Route mode, you can connect to the internal or DMZ interface. The

default Transparent mode management IP address is 192.168.1.99.

See “Connecting to the web-based manager” on page 28 or “Connecting to the

command line interface (CLI)” on page 29.
