Getting started You can add firewall policies to control whether communications through the FortiGate unit operate in NAT or Route mode. Firewall policies control the flow of traffic based on the source address, destination address, and service of each packet. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before it sends the packet to the destination network.
The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack definition updates. 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 content filtering, and Spam filtering.
Getting started Configuration options Once you have selected Transparent or NAT/Route mode operation, you can complete the configuration plan and begin to configure the FortiGate unit. You can use the web-based manager GUI, the control buttons and LCD, or the command line interface (CLI) for the basic configuration of the FortiGate unit.

High availability installation This chapter describes how to install two or more FortiGate units in an HA cluster. HA installation involves three basic steps: • • • For information about HA, see the FortiGate Administration Guide and the FortiOS High Availability technical note. Priorities of heartbeat device and monitor priorities The procedures in this chapter do not include steps for changing the priorities of heartbeat devices or for configuring monitor priorities settings.

High availability installation Configuring FortiGate units for HA using the web-based manager Use the following procedure to configure each FortiGate unit for HA operation. To change the FortiGate unit host name Changing the host name is optional, but you can use host names to identify individual cluster units.

Then you must connect these interfaces to their networks using the same hub or switch. Fortinet recommends using switches for all cluster connections for the best performance. Inserting an HA cluster into your network temporarily interrupts communications on the network because new physical connections are being made to route traffic through the cluster.

High availability installation When you connect to the cluster, you are actually connecting to the primary cluster unit. The cluster automatically synchronizes all configuration changes to the subordinate units in the cluster as the changes are made. The only configuration settings that are not synchronized are the HA configuration (except for the interface heartbeat device and monitoring configuration) and the FortiGate host name.
