Select Transparent in the Operation Mode list.

The FortiGate unit changes to Transparent mode.
To reconnect to the web-based manager, change the IP address of your management
computer to 10.10.10.2. Connect to the internal or DMZ interface and browse to
https:// followed by the Transparent mode management IP address. The default
FortiGate Transparent mode management IP address is 10.10.10.1.

Reconnecting to the web-based manager
If you changed the IP address of the management interface while you were using the

address. Browse to https:// followed by the new IP address of the management
interface. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the web-based manager by browsing to
https://10.10.10.1. If you connect to the management interface through a router, make
sure that you have added a default gateway for that router to the management IP
default gateway field.
