Overview
FortiMail VM looks for three configuration files to apply:
- mode: CLI command that has the system mode configured (i.e. Gateway, Server, or Transparent).
- config: Any other CLI configuration that apply to the system after the mode is set.
- license: The VM license file.
It is recommended to set the mode before any configuration, as setting the mode effectively factory resets the system.
Note that some configuration options are only available in certain modes.
Any combination of these configuration files (or none) may be provided.
The license file is a typical VM license (.lic) file. Below are some samples of what might be in the mode and config files:
The mode text file:
config system global
set operation-mode server
end
The config text file:
config system interface
edit port1
set ip 172.20.140.250/24
set allowaccess https ping ssh telnet
next
end
config system dns
set primary 8.8.8.8
set secondary 4.4.4.4
end
config system route
edit 1
set gateway 172.20.140.2
next
end
config system admin
edit fmltest
set access-profile super_admin_prof
set password 123456
next
end
Bootup the instance
To bootup a FortiMail VM instance, OpenStack can use something similar to the following command (in this example, using nova boot):
nova boot --flavor FML_small --image fml_image --file license=FEVM010000041191.lic --file config=fmlinit.txt --file mode=fmlmode.txt fml_instance
|
In this example the system will reboot twice: after loading mode and then after loading a new license. |
Without OpenStack
Without OpenStack you would need to place all necessary configuration files in the Windows content directory. For example:
- Place the configuration files in:
- Create or update the openstack/latest/meta_data.json file to point to these files:
openstack/content/0000 (for example the "mode" file)
openstack/content/0001 (for example the "config" file)
openstack/content/0002 (for example the 'license' file)
|

Any combination of these may be present. |
