Configuring the management port

The management port must be connected to the same switch as the administrator client computer. Use the ethernet cord provided with the FortiTester.

The following procedure assumes that the default management port IP address (192.168.1.99) is not on the same subnet as your client computer.

To configure the management port:

1. Configure your computer to match the FortiTester default management port subnet.

For example, from the Control Panel (Windows 7), go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. Click the Local Area Connection link, and then click the Properties button. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click its Properties button. Select Use the following IP address, and then enter the following settings:

• IP address: 192.168.1.2
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

To connect to the web UI, start a web browser and go to http://192.168.1.99, or https://192.168.1.99.

Type admin in the Username field, enter the password, and then click Login.

In the top right banner, click System > Network > Interfaces to display the Interfaces Setting page.

Configure the following settings.

Addressing Mode		Specify whether FortiTester acquires an IPv4/IPv6 address for this network interface manually or using DHCP.
IPv4/IPv6		Type the IP address.
Netmask/IPv6 Netmask		Type the netmask.
Gateway/IPv6 Gateway		Type the gateway address.

Click Apply to complete the management port configuration.
