Command line interface

You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a management computer serial port to the FortiGate RS-232 serial Console connector. You can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any network connected to the FortiGate, including the Internet.

The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the web-based manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration options not available from the web-based manager. This Installation and Configuration Guide contains information about basic and advanced CLI commands. You can find a more complete description of connecting to and using the FortiGate CLI in the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.
