Configuring access to FortiWeb Manager
- Power on FortiWeb Manager-VM. Wait until FortiWeb Manager initialization is finished.
- Access the FortiManager CLI. The default user name is “admin". There is no password by default.
For KVM, you need to access the CLI through Telnet. Enter:
telnet <LINUX_IP>:10301 - Set the IP address of the network interface named
port1, or whichever network interface maps to the network physically connected to your management computer.Set interface <PORT> (ip|ip6) <IPADDRESS/LENGTH>
where<IPADDRESS/LENGTH>is the IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned to the network interface, such as192.168.1.99. The correct IP will vary by your configuration of the network. - Configure a static route with the default gateway.
set route <DST/LENGTH> gw <GATEWAY> device <DEVICE>
where <GATEWAY> is the IP address of the gateway router.
You should now be able to connect via the network from your management computer to port1 of FortiManager-VM using:
- a web browser for the web UI (e.g. If
port1has the IP address 192.168.1.1, go to https://192.168.1.1/) - an SSH client for the CLI (e.g. If
port1has the IP address 192.168.1.1, connect to 192.168.1.1 on port 22.)
|
When connecting to the web UI via HTTPS, if you cannot get a connection, verify that your computer’s time zone matches the appliance’s configured system time. For more information on how to configure the time and time zone, see FortiManager Administrator's Guide - System Settings. |

It's recommended to change your password in System Settings > Admin > Administrators after logging in. |
