Why each option
In a factory default FortiGate configuration, the 'Port1' or 'Internal' interface has the IP address 192.168.1.99, a DHCP server is enabled on this interface (on capable models), and the default login uses the username 'admin' with no password.
The statement that the default web filtering profile is applied to the first firewall policy by default is not a universal factory default configuration on all FortiGate models or FortiOS versions.
The default IP address for the 'Port1' (or 'Internal' on some models) interface is consistently 192.168.1.99, serving as the initial management address.
The implicit firewall policy action on a FortiGate is DENY, meaning any traffic that does not match an explicit policy is dropped, not accepted.
Many FortiGate models have a DHCP server enabled by default on the 'Port1' or 'Internal' interface to automatically assign IP addresses to connected devices, simplifying initial network setup.
The factory default login credentials for a FortiGate are 'admin' (all lowercase) with no password, requiring the user to set a new password upon the first successful login.
