Why each option
The FortiGate unit's factory default configuration typically includes `port1` configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.99 and an enabled DHCP server, along with a default administrative login of 'admin' with no password.
By default, the `port1` or `internal` interface on a FortiGate unit is commonly assigned the IP address 192.168.1.99 for initial management access.
On many FortiGate models, especially smaller ones, the `port1` or `internal` interface is configured with an enabled DHCP server by default to facilitate easy network setup for connected devices.
The default login credentials for a factory reset FortiGate unit are typically the username `admin` (all lowercase) with no password, requiring the administrator to set a new password upon first login.
The implicit firewall action on a FortiGate unit is always DENY, meaning any traffic that does not match an explicit firewall policy is dropped for security reasons.
