Chapter 2 Getting Started : Using the Web-Based Manager : Menus
  
Menus
 
Some menus may not initially appear on your FortiGate, while others only appear on certain FortiGate models or when certain features/modes are enabled. If there is a menu you believe your FortiGate model supports that does not appear in the web-based manager as expected, go to System > Config > Features and ensure the feature is turned on. For more information, see “Feature settings”.
The web-based manager contains the following main menus, which provide access to configuration options for most of the FortiOS features:
System
Configure system settings, such as network interfaces, virtual domains (VDOMs), DNS services, administrators, certificates, High Availability (HA), system time, set system options, and set display options on the web-based manager.
The System menu also contains the Status and FortiView dashboards. For more information, see “Dashboards”.
Router
Configure static, dynamic and multicast routing and view the router monitor.
On certain FortiGate models, routing is configured by going to System > Network > Routing.
Policy & Objects
Configure firewall policies, protocol options, the Central NAT Table, and supporting content for policies including scheduling, services, traffic shapers, addresses, virtual IP and load balancing.
Security Profiles
Configure antivirus and email filtering, web filtering, intrusion protection, data leak prevention, application control, VOIP, ICAP and Client Reputation.

Configure the unit to act as a wireless network controller, managing the wireless Access Point (AP) functionality of FortiWiFi and FortiAP units.
On certain FortiGate models, this menu is called WiFi & Switch Controller and has additional features allowing for FortiSwitch units to be managed by the FortiGate.
Log & Report

Current VDOM
This menu only appears when VDOMs are enabled on the unit and is used to switch between VDOMs.
