Network Settings

You can configure the following network settings for your FortiGuest.

Server Information

You can configure or modify the pre-configured FortiGuest server settings.

  1. Navigate to System > Network Settings.

  2. Configure the Hostname settings.
  • Hostname - Assign a hostname as defined in DNS (without DNS suffix).
  • Domain - Enter the domain name for your organization (e.g. fortinet.com).
  • Enter the IP address of the DNS server.
  • Configure the network IPv4 address settings.
    • IP Address - Enter the network IPv4 address.
    • Subnet Mask - Enter the corresponding subnet mask.
    • Gateway - Enter the default gateway for the network to which FortiGuest is connected.
    Network Interface Information

    You can configure FortiGuest with 4 active interfaces with traffic segregation. The administrators can configure administrative access and services like captive portal and RADIUS authentication/accounting on a per interface basis.

    Note: If administrative access services and captive portal are configured for different interfaces, then FQDN forward and reverse lookup in the DNS server should point to the IP address of the interface which has captive portal configured. In such a scenario, the administrator can access the FortiGuest portal only with IP address and not with the FQDN.

    Select a port and click Edit to modify the following settings as required.
