Web-based manager<br />

This section describes the features of the user-friendly web-based manager<br />

administrative interface of your <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit.<br />

Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any <strong>com</strong>puter running a web<br />

browser, you can configure and manage the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit. The web-based<br />

manager supports multiple languages. You can configure the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit for<br />

HTTP and HTTPS administration from any <strong>FortiGate</strong> interface.<br />

Figure 2:<br />

Example <strong>FortiGate</strong>-5001SX Web-based manager dashboard<br />

You can use the web-based manager to configure most <strong>FortiGate</strong> settings and to<br />

monitor the status of the <strong>FortiGate</strong> unit. Configuration changes made using the<br />

web-based manager are effective immediately without resetting the firewall or<br />

interrupting service. Once you are satisfied with a configuration, you can back it<br />

up. The saved configuration can be restored at any time.<br />

For information about connecting to the web-based manager, see “Connecting to<br />

the web-based manager” in the Installation <strong>Guide</strong> for your unit.<br />
