Step 5: Assign Static IP Address for port1
FortiNAC is configured by accessing the Configuration Wizard using the Management interface (port1) IP address. Follow the instructions below to set the IP address for port1.
Port1 has the following default configurations:
-
IP address: 192.168.1.99
-
FortiNAC interfaces do not communicate without the required protocols added to the appliance’s access list for the port. The minimum required for appliance configuration are Administration UI access (port 8443) and SSH. Additional protocols can be added to the access list in the future as needed.
-
Once the virtual machine is running, click Connect to bring up the console.
-
Login to the FortiNAC CLI using the following:
User name = admin
Password = <no password>
-
To set the IP address and default gateway, type the following:
config system interface
edit port1
set ip <port1 ip addr>/<mask>
set allowaccess https-adminui ssh
next
end
config system route
edit 1
set device port1
set gateway <default gateway>
next
end
Example:
config system interface
edit port1
set ip 10.12.234.175/22
set allowaccess https-adminui ssh
next
end
config system route
edit 1
set device port1
set gateway 10.12.232.1
next
end
-
Confirm SSH access to the port1 IP address works.
