Can Fortinet WAN address
I have a brand new Fortinet 80CM firewall/switch. I've spent 1/2 an hour with the quickstart guide, the https interface and the 492 page .pdf administrator's guide. I am soooo confused.
First things first ... I want to change the WAN1 IP address. How do I do that? I even tried the CLI as follows:
config system interface
edit wan1
set ip w.x.y.z
That gave me an error:
incomplete command in the end.
command fail. Return code -160
I also tried to use the CLI to set the default gateway:
config router static
edit 1
set gateway w.x.y.q
end
That also gave me an error:
Entry not found in the datasource.
Attribute 'device' mus bet set.
Command fail. Return code -3
The stuff I typed is right out of the QuickStart guide that shipped with the router.
wassup? HELP!

maybe your wan netmask need to be included as well ?

You might be right, do you have an example? The pseudo code in the quickstart has:
set ip <interface_ipv4mask>
would that mean: set ip w.x.y.x_255.255.255.9
set ip <interface_ipv4mask>
would that mean: set ip w.x.y.x_255.255.255.9

I tried the underscore, no go. Then I tried: set ip w.x.y.z 255.255.255.0
a space instead. I got a different error:
Cant change dynamic IP
Command Failed: Return Code -651
As far as I can tell, WAN1 does not have a dynamic IP. I am sooooo confused. Give me back my Cisco/Linksys GUI!

Hi,
config system interface
edit wan1
set ip 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0
config system interface
edit wan1
set ip 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

Nope, that didn't work. I got:
value parse error before 'w.x.y.x/255.255.255.v'
Command fail. Return code -9
I think the syntax with a space is correct (my post 32946370), but I get that "cannot change dynamic IP" error. I don't know what that error means. I can't see that I have "dynamic IP" set for wan1. In fact, it appears to have a static IP currently set.
Any ideas?

did you able to save the running config, and show us?

Fortinet router is unavailable until next week. Will get back to this issue then.
ASKER
back - sorry for the delay. As a recap, I am trying to simply change the IP address of the Fortinet router as a first step.
ikalmar: I'm not really sure how to show the running config other than a screen-shot of the html admin page. Is there is a command line command to do this?
Meanwhile, I've attached an image of the initial admin screen. If you can direct me to a sub-screen that deals with setting the router IP I would be happy to post it. None of the sub-menus stands out to me on this count.
