Configuring your networks
NAT/Route mode installation
To connect the FortiGate-50A unit:
1
Connect the Internal interface to the hub or switch connected to your internal network.
2
Connect the External interface to the Internet.
Connect to the public switch or router provided by your Internet Service Provider. If
you are a DSL or cable subscriber, connect the External interface to the internal or
LAN connection of your DSL or cable modem.
Configuring your networks
If you are operating the FortiGate unit in NAT/Route mode, your internal network must
be configured to route all Internet traffic to the FortiGate internal interface. Change the
default gateway address of all computers and routers connected directly to your
internal network to the IP address of the FortiGate internal interface. For the external
network, route all packets to the FortiGate external interface.
If you are using the FortiGate unit as the DHCP server for your internal network,
configure the computers on your internal network for DHCP.
Make sure that the connected FortiGate unit is functioning properly by connecting to
the Internet from a computer on your internal network. You should be able to connect
to any Internet address.
Completing the configuration
Use the information in this section to complete the initial configuration of the FortiGate
unit.
Setting the date and time
For effective scheduling and logging, the FortiGate system date and time should be
accurate. You can either manually set the system date and time or you can configure
the FortiGate unit to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
