Enable NAT from console

I believe this is the correct configuration: config system settings set opmode nat set manageip 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 But I can' t seem to get this config to take. From my understanding, you have to configure the manageip too, but that' s what' s not taking. I get a command parse error before ' manageip' Command fail. Return code -6

Attention here! a) in your first post you change the opmode of a VDOM " vdomain3" . Be absolutely sure that you are working on a VDOM other than " root" if you do this - otherwise you could lose connection to your hardware. b) the sequence of commands matters here. The manual says

Set the IP address and netmask of the Transparent mode management interface. You must set this when you change opmode from nat to transparent. This option not available in transparent mode.

which is interpreted like this: - first you change the opmode " set opmode transparent" - then, before hitting " end" , you set the management IP " set manageip 1.2.3.4" - then you enter " end" which carries out the changes So strictly speaking " set manageip" is only available in TRANSPARENT mode, or rather " after you' ve entered ' set opmode transparent' " .

That was actually an example from the manual, which is a bad one in reference to my issue. I' m not running in a VDOM. So do I need to do something different being that I' m not in a VDOM. Nothing seems to take when I try to configure the opmode.

If you are in transparent mode, you actually have the ' manageip' option. If you change to NAT mode, you don' t have the ManageIP anymore - every interface now has an IP address. So the steps to take are:

 config system settings     set opmode nat     unset manageip  end  config system interface     edit port1     set ip 192.168.10.100 255.255.255.0  end

But I would expect that you lose contact to the FGT after typing the first ' end' . You better connect via serial console if you do this.

Thanks for throwing up the config, but I still can' t get it to take. I run: config system settings set opmode nat unset manageip *it spits out an error here Error: command parse error before ' manageip' Command fail. Return code -61 I' m thinking because not management IP was set( I never set one up that I know of) it won' t take this command.

This problem is starting to look like a factoryreset is needed :(

When I run a sh command, I get the following: config system settings end So it looks like I have nothing configured. Right?

So at the FW# prompt I type in the following FW# config system settings (settings)# set opmode nat (settings)# end I run the sh command and go through the entire config, and I still see transparent. If I do a sh in the ' config system settings' it comes up with: config system settings end

I think so. I hosed it pretty good.
