Connecting to the FortiSandbox VM

1. In the Prism Element web console, go to VM.
2. Click the FortiSandbox-VM you created in Creating the FortiSandbox deployment image.
3. Click Power On to power on the VM.

   By default, the FortiSandbox-VM is shut down after initial creation.

4. Click the Launch Console tab to check that the VM boots up successfully.
5. When the console prompts for login credentials, log into FortiSandbox using the username admin and no password.

   

6. Configure the interface port1 IP address using the CLI command set port1-ip with the IP address when you registered. See Licensing on page 1.

   For example: set port1-ip 1.1.1.2/24

7. Access the FortiSandbox in your browser.
8. Log into FortiSandbox-VM with the username admin and no password.
9. Upload your license (.lic) file to activate the FortiSandbox-VM.

   The FortiSandbox-VM automatically restarts. After it restarts, wait about 30 minutes until the license is fully registered at Fortinet, then log in again.

10. After you log in and you see the FortiSandbox dashboard, go to Network > Interfaces to check the network interface setting.

    You can see and configure the assigned IP address.
