Settings
In this exercise, you will review the Local-FortiGate system settings and make changes to
complete setting up FortiGate on your network. You will enable the internal network DHCP
server to allow hosts to receive the IP address when connecting to Local-FortiGate.
Some of the settings in this lab have been preconfigured and are not the factory default
settings of FortiGate.
1. Connect to the Local-FortiGate GUI, and then log in with the username admin and
password password.
You can double-click an object on the FortiGate GUI to view or edit the content of the
object.
4. In the Edit Interface window, review the information available on the right.
FortiGate displays its host name and status without the need to navigate away from your
current work.
Why do some of the settings appear or disappear when the role of an interface changes?
Each role reflects the appropriate settings required to configure the interface.The Undefined role
displays all of the settings you can configure on an interface.
The purpose of choosing WAN as the role of the interface is to see that when this
interface is connected to an external connection, you may need to disable some settings
to configure the DHCP server setting.
When the role of the interface is set to WAN, you can set the downstream and upstream
maximum bandwidth.
You can set the priority value of the static route. When two routes have an equal distance,
the route with a lower priority number takes precedence
Notice in the LAN role, the DHCP server appears on the GUI, unlike when the role is
set to WAN.
