IP pass-through mode
In IP pass-through mode, FortiExtender distributes the WAN IP address provided by the NSP to the device behind it. It can be managed from FortiGate, FortiExtender Cloud, or locally as a stand-alone device.

It is important to note that IP pass-through mode is the only mode of operation for managing FortiExtender from FortiGate. |
Enable IP pass-through mode from FortiGate
You can enable IP pass-through mode on FortiGate using the following commands:
# config system management
(management) # set discovery-type fortigate
(management) # end
#
Enable IP pass-through mode from FortiExtender Cloud
You can also enable IP pass-through mode from FortiExtender Cloud using the following commands, and then create a profile with IP pass-through enabled, as illustrated below.
# config system management
(management) # set discovery-type cloud
(management) # end
#
Enable IP pass-through mode for local setup and management
FortiExtender can be used as a stand-alone device, without integration with FortiGate or FortiExtender Cloud. In this scenario, all configuration is done locally on the FortiExtender device. We call this mode of operation "local" mode.
You can enable IP pass-through in local mode using the following commands:
# config system management
(management)# set discovery-type local
(management) <M># config local
(local)# set mode ip-passthrough
