Hi,<br />
<br />
I just recently got a new Fortinet 110c and wanted to set the switch to Interface Mode. &nbsp;I figured out I had to remove the default Firewall policy and then was able to switch it to Interface mode. &nbsp;I then accessed the Fortinet through the console cable and set the IP address on port 1 to 192.168.1.99 and set allowaccess to ping for testing which I am able to do. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
At this point I'm stuck on how to:<br />
<br />
1) allow web based management through Port 1 again. &nbsp;Right now when I go back to <a href="https://192.168.1.99" rel="ugc">https://192.168.1.99</a>&nbsp;the page doesn't pop up anymore. <br />
<br />
2) set up web based management through WAN1 from specific external IP addresses if possible<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
Kenny

Cannot access Fortinet 110c Web-based manager after change to Interface Mode

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
