Configuring console

After the FortiIsolator starts up, use the default console to complete initial interface configuration. By default, the management interface on FortiIsolator (port3 on a VM installation) is set to 192.168.1.99.

The examples in this section are based on FortiIsolator VM. The process is similar for other FortiIsolator appliances, but interface settings can vary depending on the FortiIsolator model.

Finding the current settings

To find the current settings on FortiIsolator, type the show command in the FortiIsolator CLI.

The following image shows an example of results from the show command:

Setting the management IP address

To set the management IP address, type set mgmt-ip <ip_address>/<subnet_mask>. For example:

> set mgmt-ip 192.168.1.214/24

Setting the management gateway address

To set the management gateway, type set mgmt-gw <subnet>/<gateway>. For example:

> set mgmt-ip 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.254
