Introduction
FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls improve network security, reduce network misuse and
abuse, and help you use communications resources more efficiently without
compromising the performance of your network. FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls are
ICSA-certified for firewall, IPSec, and antivirus services.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall is a dedicated easily managed security device that
delivers a full suite of capabilities that include:
• application-level services such as virus protection and content filtering,
• network-level services such as firewall, intrusion detection, VPN, and traffic
shaping.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall uses Fortinet’s Accelerated Behavior and Content
Analysis System (ABACAS™) technology, which leverages breakthroughs in chip
design, networking, security, and content analysis. The unique ASIC-based
architecture analyzes content and behavior in real-time, enabling key applications to
be deployed right at the network edge where they are most effective at protecting your
networks.
The FortiGate-200 model is an easy-to-
deploy and easy-to-administer solution
that delivers exceptional value and
performance for small office, home office,
and branch office applications. The
FortiGate installation wizard guides users through a simple process that enables most
installations to be up and running in minutes.
The FortiGate-200 also supports advanced features such as 802.1Q VLANs, virtual
domains, high availability (HA), and the RIP and OSPF routing protocols.
Secure installation, configuration, and management
The FortiGate unit default configuration includes a default firewall policy and IP
addresses and is only a few steps away from protecting your network. There are
several ways to configure basic FortiGate settings:
• the web-based manager,
• the command line interface (CLI), or
• the setup wizard.
The CLI or the web-based manager can then be used to complete configuration and
to perform maintenance and administration.

Secure installation, configuration, and management Introduction
Web-based manager
Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any computer running Internet
Explorer, you can configure and manage the FortiGate unit. The web-based manager
supports multiple languages. You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and
HTTPS administration from any FortiGate interface.
You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings. You can
also use the web-based manager to monitor the status of the FortiGate unit.
Configuration changes made using the web-based manager are effective immediately
without resetting the firewall or interrupting service. Once you are satisfied with a
configuration, you can download and save it. The saved configuration can be restored
at any time.
Figure 1: FortiGate web-based manager and setup wizard
Command line interface
You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiGate RS-232 serial console connector.
You can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.
The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the
web-based manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration
options that are not available from the web-based manager.
This Installation Guide contains information about basic and advanced CLI
commands. For a more complete description about connecting to and using the
FortiGate CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.

FortiGate-200 Installation Guide 01-28004-0020-20040830 17
Factory default FortiGate configuration settings
The FortiGate unit is shipped with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager to
configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the FortiGate unit onto the
network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP addresses,
add DNS server IP addresses, and configure basic routing, if required.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiGate unit onto the network in Transparent mode.
Once the network configuration is complete, you can perform additional configuration
tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack definition updates, and
registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address translation
(NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to the external
network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to the internal
network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of the network
traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of antivirus
protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network traffic that is
controlled by firewall policies.
•Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration
•Factory default Transparent mode network configuration
•Factory default firewall configuration
•Factory default protection profiles
Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration
When the FortiGate unit is first powered on, it is running in NAT/Route mode and has
the basic network configuration listed in Tabl e 2. This configuration allows you to
connect to the FortiGate unit web-based manager and establish the configuration
required to connect the FortiGate unit to the network. In Ta ble 2, HTTPS
administrative access means you can connect to the web-based manager using
HTTPS protocol through this interface. Ping administrative access means this
interface responds to ping requests.

FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit.
Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the
FortiGate unit. To allow traffic through the FortiGate unit you can add firewall policies.
See the FortiGate Administration Guide for information about adding firewall policies.
The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall

The factory default firewall configuration is the same in NAT/Route and Transparent
mode.
Factory default protection profiles
Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic that is controlled
by firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:
• Configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies
• Configure Web filtering for HTTP firewall policies
• Configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies
• Configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies
• Enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services
• Enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies
Using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be applied
to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types and levels of
protection for different firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need strict
protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate protection.
You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use the same or
different protection profiles.
Protection profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode firewall
policies.

Planning the FortiGate configuration Getting started
The FortiGate unit comes preconfigured with four protection profiles.
Figure 4: Web protection profile settings
Planning the FortiGate configuration
Before you configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into
the network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the unit to be
visible to the network, which firewall functions you want it to provide, and how you
want it to control the traffic flowing between its interfaces.
Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode that you select. The FortiGate
unit can be configured in one of two modes: NAT/Route mode (the default) or
Transparent mode.
Strict To apply maximum protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP traffic.
You may not use the strict protection profile under normal circumstances but
it is available if you have problems with viruses and require maximum
screening.
Scan To apply antivirus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content
traffic. Quarantine is also selected for all content services. On FortiGate
models with a hard drive, if antivirus scanning finds a virus in a file, the file is
quarantined on the FortiGate local disk. If required, system administrators
can recover quarantined files.
Web To apply antivirus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP content
traffic. You can add this protection profile to firewall policies that control
HTTP traffic.
Unfiltered To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use if you do not want to apply
content protection to content traffic. You can add this protection profile to
firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure
networks where content does not need to be protected.
