   Reassociation	Clear the Allow this Elastic IP address to be reassociated checkbox.

   

5. Click Associate.

2. Log into the FortiSandbox GUI.

   The default username is admin and the default password is your Instance ID. You can find this in the EC2 > Instances Management Console.

   

Configure the DNS

To configure the DNS:

1. Go to System > DNS.
2. Configure the primary and secondary DNS server addresses of your organization such as the following:

Access FortiSandbox CLI

You can execute CLI commands in the FortiSandbox console or use an SSH client. Before logging in, convert the saved pem file you downloaded when you created the key pair to ppk file.

If you do not choose the Without Key Pair option, log in using the admin as the username, and the Instance ID as the password.
