FortiGate VM Initial Configuration. Before you can connect to the FortiGate VM web-based manager you must configure a network interface in the FortiGate VM console. Once an interface with administrative access is configured, you can connect to the FortiGate VM web-based Manager and upload the FortiGate VM license file that you downloaded from the Customer Service & Support website. Select the FortiGate that the AP will be added to from the dropdown list. If you have already selected a FortiGate in the tree menu, this field will contain that FortiGate. Enter the device's serial number. Enter a name for the device. Select an AP profile to apply to the device from the dropdown list. Fortigate VM trial version is unlicensed and so only 15 days are given from the time it is first installed after which access will be denied until license key are purchase and entered. If you are using new firmware (6.2.0 and later) with a new VM license, the CN becomes the FortiGate VM serial number.

- Heavenlymaps.netlify.com › Fortigate Vm License Crack FortiGate virtual appliances allow you to provision Fortinet security inside a virtual environment. All the security and networking features we would expect in a hardware-based FortiGate are available in the VM too.
The following topics are included in this section: Set FortiGate VM port1 IP address
- Connect to the FortiGate VM Web-based Manager
- Upload the FortiGate VM license file
- Validate the FortiGate VM license with FortiManager
- Configure your FortiGate VM
Set FortiGate VM port1 IP address
Hypervisor management environments include a guest console window. On the FortiGate VM, this provides access to the FortiGate console, equivalent to the console port on a hardware FortiGate unit. Before you can access the Web-based manager, you must configure FortiGate VM port1 with an IP address and administrative access.
To configure the port1 IP address:
1. In your hypervisor manager, start the FortiGate VM and access the console window.
You might need to press Return to see a login prompt.
Example of FortiGate VM console access:
2. At the FortiGate VM login prompt enter the username admin. By default there is no password. Just press Return.
3. Using CLI commands, configure the port1 IP address and netmask. Also, HTTP access must be enabled because until it is licensed the FortiGate VM supports only low-strength encryption. HTTPS access will not work.
For example:
config system interface edit port1
set ip 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 append allowaccess http
end
You can also use the append allowaccess CLI command to enable other access protocols, such as auto-ipsec, http, probe-response, radius-acct, snmp, and telnet. The ping, https, ssh, and fgfm protocols are enabled on the port1 interface by default.
4. To configure the default gateway, enter the following CLI commands:
config router static edit 1
set device port1
end
set gateway <class_ip>
You must configure the default gateway with an IPv4 address. FortiGate VM needs to access the Internet to contact the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) to validate its license.
5. To configure your DNS servers, enter the following CLI commands:
config system dns
set primary <Primary DNS server>
set secondary <Secondary DNS server>
end
The default DNS servers are 208.91.112.53 and 208.91.112.52.
6. To upload the FortiGate VM license from an FTP or TFTP server, use the following CLI command:
execute restore vmlicense {ftp | tftp} <VM license file name> <Server IP or FQDN> [:server port]
You can also upload the license in the FortiGate VM Web-based Manager. See Set FortiGate VM port1 IP address on page 2728.
Web–based Manager and Evaluation License dialog box
Connect to the FortiGate VM Web-based Manager
When you have configured the port1 IP address and netmask, launch a web browser and enter the IP address that you configured for port1. At the login page, enter the username admin and password field and select Login. The default password is no password. The Web-based Manager will appear with an Evaluation License dialog box.
Upload the FortiGate VM license file
Every Fortinet VM includes a 15-day trial license. During this time the FortiGate VM operates in evaluation mode. Before using the FortiGate VM you must enter the license file that you downloaded from the Customer Service & Support website upon registration.
To upload the FortiGate VM licence file:
1. In the Evaluation License dialog box, select Enter License.
You can also upload the license file via the CLI using the following CLI command:
execute restore vmlicense [ftp | tftp] <filenmame string>
<ftp server>[:ftp port]
The license upload page opens.
License upload page:
2. Select Browse and locate the license file (.lic) on your computer. Select OK to upload the license file.
3. Refresh the browser to login.
4. Enter admin in the Name field and select Login. The VM registration status appears as valid in the License Information widget once the license has been validated by the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) or FortiManager for closed networks.
Validate the FortiGate VM license with FortiManager
You can validate your FortiGate VM license with some models of FortiManager. To determine whether your FortiManager unit has the VM Activation feature, see Features section of the FortiManager Product Data sheet.
To validate your FortiGate VM with your FortiManager:
1. To configure your FortiManager as a closed network, enter the following CLI command on your FortiManager:
config fmupdate publicnetwork set status disable
end
2. To configure FortiGate VM to use FortiManager as its override server, enter the following CLI commands on your
FortiGate VM:
config system central-management set mode normal
set type fortimanager
set fmg <IPv4 address of the FortiManager device>
set fmg-source-ip <Source IPv4 address when connecting to the FortiManager device>
set include-default-servers disable
set vdom <Enter the name of the VDOM to use when communicating with the FortiManager device>
end
3. Load the FortiGate VM license file in the Web-based Manager. Go to System > Dashboard > Status. In the License Information widget, in the Registration Status field, select Update. Browse for the .lic license file and select OK.
4. To activate the FortiGate VM license, enter the following CLI command on your FortiGate VM:
execute update-now
5. To check the FortiGate VM license status, enter the following CLI commands on your FortiGate VM:
get system status
