Fortinet

Fortinet config Interface by CLI

Configuring port 1

VM platform or hypervisor management environments include a guest console window. On the FortiGate-VM, this provides access to the FortiGate console, equivalent to the console port on a hardware FortiGate unit. Before you can access the GUI, you must configure FortiGate-VM port1 with an IP address and administrative access.

To configure the port1 IP address:
  1. In your hypervisor manager, start the FortiGate-VM and access the console window. You may need to press Enter to see a login prompt.
  2. At the FortiGate-VM login prompt enter the username admin. By default there is no password. Press Enter.
  3. Using CLI commands, configure the port1 IP address and netmask: 
    config system interface

edit port1

set mode static

set ip 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0

next

end
  4. To configure the default gateway, enter the following CLI commands: 
    config router static

edit 1

set device port1

set gateway <class_ip>

next

end

To configure your DNS servers, enter the following CLI commands:

config system dns

set primary <Primary DNS server>

set secondary <Secondary DNS server>

end
