If the URL is correct and you still cannot access the GUI, you may also need to configure static routes. For details, see Static routes. |
After logging in for the first time, you should create an administrator account for yourself and assign the Super_User profile to it. Then you should log into the FortiAnalyzer unit by using the new administrator account. See Managing administrator accounts for information.
