To edit an administrator account
1
Go to System > Config > Admin.

To change an administrator account password, select Change Password
.
3
Type the Old Password.
4
Type and confirm a new password.
For improved security, the password should be at least 6 characters long. The
password can contain any characters except spaces. If you enter a password that is
less than 6 characters long, the system displays a warning message but still accepts
the password.

6

.
7
Optionally type a Trusted Host IP address and netmask for the location from which the
administrator can log into the web-based manager.
If you want the administrator to be able to access the FortiGate unit from any address,
set the trusted host to 0.0.0.0 and the netmask to 255.255.255.255.
To limit the administrator to only be able to access the FortiGate unit from a specific
network, set the trusted host to the address of the network and set the netmask to the
netmask for the network. For example, to limit an administrator to accessing the
FortiGate unit from your internal network, set the trusted host to the address of your
internal network (for example, 192.168.1.0) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
8
Change the administrator’s permission level as required.

Select OK.

Configuring SNMP
You can configure the FortiGate SNMP agent to report system information and send
traps to SNMP managers. Using an SNMP manager, you can access SNMP traps and
data from any FortiGate interface or VLAN subinterface configured for SNMP
management access.
The FortiGate SNMP implementation is read-only. SNMP v1 and v2c compliant SNMP
managers have read-only access to FortiGate system information and can receive
FortiGate traps. To monitor FortiGate system information and receive FortiGate traps
you must compile Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as Fortinet-supported standard
MIBs into your SNMP manager.
RFC support includes support for most of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of
RFC 1213 (MIB II) (for more information, see
).
