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.
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
FortiGate VM includes a limited embedded 15-day trial license if you run in VMWare Workstation and 75 days in ESXi that supports: Fortinet FortiGate-VM firewall technology delivers complete content and network protection by combining stateful inspection with a comprehensive suite of powerful security features.
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.

The plugin allows users to assess the configuration of FortiGate devices.
- In Dashboard Status, in the Virtual Machine widget, click FortiGate VM License. Click the Upload button. Select the FortiGate-VM base license file, then click OK. The FortiGate-VM reboots after applying the base license. Verify the FortiGate-VM base license status and VDOM information: Log in to the FortiGate-VM.
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

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. FortiGate VM software is available for 32-bit and 64-bit environments. Both an upgrade version for existing FortiGate VMs and a “greenfield” version are available. We will use the second solution, available as a downloadable zip archive file (the one we will use is a 64-bit version, FGT_VM64-v500-build0228-FORTINET.out.ovf.zip).
Note: it is required to have at least an access as a customer to the Fortinet support to be able to receive and use the aforementioned files.
The archive contains the following files (as stated in the latest “FortiGate VM (VMware)
Install Guide” http://docs.fortinet.com/vm/FortiGate-VM-VMware-Install-Guide.pdf ):
Three Open Virtualization Format files
Fortigate-vm - download at 4shared. Fortigate-vm is hosted at free file sharing service 4shared. Fortigate Vm License Key Fortigate Vm License Key is a software selection with 90 downloads.
- FortiGate-VMxx.ovf: Open Virtualization Format file for VMware
- FortiGate-VMxx.hw04.ovf: Open Virtualization Format file for older VMware ESX hardware
- FortiGate-VMxx.hw07_vmxnet.ovf: Open Virtualization Format file for VMware with the
Two VMware disk files
- Fortios.vmdk: Virtual machine disk format file used by the OVF file
- Datadrive.vmdk: Virtual machine disk format file used by the OVF file
From VMware Workstation we will open the FortiGate-VM64.ovf file and import it in a folder (in our example the destination is a directory located in an external storage).
FortiGate VM evaluation license
We will use the evaluation license that is included by default in the FortiGate VM. This type of free trial license (that includes all features except FortiGuard) expires after 15 days. The FortiGate VM must have only 1 virtual CPU and a maximum of 1Gb of RAM. Certificates are limited to 512 Bits.
First steps inside the FortiGate VM
As soon as the VM import is completed, we have to check the hardware granted to the virtual appliance (CPU and memory, as explained in the evaluation license explanation). We are also able to move the network interfaces of the FortiGate VM to any virtual network available in VMware Workstation (my suggestion, if we are going to build a lab environment, is to start with a “Host Only” network).
As soon as the VM is powered on we are able to login with admin (no password required) as we would do with a direct connection to a console port.
We will configure Port1, using CLI commands (note: I will configure an address on my VMnet1, that is 192.168.112.0/24). We have also to enable administrative accesses, using the set allowaccess command (note: I have enabled http, https, ssh, telnet and ping)
config system interface
edit port1
set ip 192.168.112.2/255.255.255.0
set allowaccess http https ssh telnet ping
end
Then we are able to test the connection to the VM using Putty both for telnet and SSH.
Our browser should be able to open the HTTP administrative page (as I said HTTPS with such a low level of encryption will not open in any recent Internet browser). My suggestion is to raise the “Idle timeout” value, to avoid frequent disconnection from the administrative interface.
So the HTTPS interface will not open in recent browsers (I was able to test it with a really old version of Firefox).

Licensing timeout
In closed environments without Internet access, it is mandatory to perform offline licensing of the virtual FortiGate using a FortiManager as a license server. If the FortiGate-VM cannot perform license validation within the license timeout period, which is 30 days, the FortiGate will discard all packets and effectively ceasing operation as a firewall.
The status of the licence will go through some status changes before it times out.
Status | Description |
---|---|
Valid | The FortiGate can connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS |
Warning | The FortiGate cannot connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS. A check is made against how many days the Warning status has been continuous. If the number is less the 30 days the status does not change. |
Invalid | The FortiGate cannot connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS. A check is made against how many days the Warning status has been continuous. If the number is 30 days or more, the status changes to Invalid.The firewall ceases to function properly. |
Fortigate Vm Licence Crack
There is only a single log entry after the virtual FortiGate cannot access the license server for the license expiration period. This means that when you go searching the logs for a reason for the FortiGate being offline there will not be a long list of error logs that draw attention to the issue. There will only be the one entry. |
