to the FortiGate unit or personal injury.

Rack mount instructions

Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than

room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the

equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature

(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that

the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised.

Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that

a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might

have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of

equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be

maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Mounting

If required to fit into a rack unit, remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the

FortiGate unit.

The FortiGate unit can be placed on any flat surface, or mounted in a standard 19-

Configuring NAT vs. Transparent mode

FortiGate-110C FortiOS 3.0 MR6 Install Guide

01-30006-0481-20080728 15

Configuring

This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit,

NAT/Route and Transparent, and how to configure the FortiGate unit for each

mode. There are two ways you can configure the FortiGate unit, using the

web-based manager or the command line interface (CLI). This section will step

through using both methods. Use whichever you are most comfortable with.

This section includes the following topics:

• NAT vs. Transparent mode

• Connecting to the FortiGate unit

• Verify the configuration

• Backing up the configuration

• Additional configuration

NAT vs. Transparent mode

The FortiGate unit can run in two different modes, depending on your network

infrastructure and requirements. You have a choice between NAT/Route mode

and Transparent mode. Both include the same robust network security features

such as antispam, antivirus, VPN and firewall policies.

NAT mode

In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all

its interfaces are on different subnets.

In NAT mode, each port is on a different subnet, enabling you to have a single IP

address available to the public Internet. The FortiGate unit performs network

address translation before it sends and receives the packet to the destination

network.

In Route mode, there is no address translation.

Figure 4: FortiGate unit in NAT mode

You typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is operating as a

gateway between private and public networks. In this configuration, you would

create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal,

private network and the external, public network, usually the Internet.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit Configuring

Transparent mode

In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a

network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only

have to configure a management IP address to make configuration changes. The

management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates.

Figure 5: FortiGate unit in Transparent mode

You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network

behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall

functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web filtering, and Spam filtering.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

To configure, maintain and administer the FortiGate unit, you need to connect to it.

There are two methods for these tasks:

• using the web-based manger, a GUI interface using a current web browser

such as FireFox or Internet Explorer.

• using the command line interface (CLI), a command line interface similar to

DOS or UNIX commands using an SSH terminal or Telnet terminal.

Connecting to the web-based manager

To connect to the web-based manager, you require:

• a computer with an Ethernet connection

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of the
