Connecting to the command line interface CLI | Fortinet 400 specs

Getting started	Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)

Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)

As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can install and configure the FortiGate unit using the CLI. Configuration changes made with the CLI are effective immediately without the need to reset the firewall or interrupt service.

To connect to the FortiGate CLI, you need:

•a computer with an available communications port,

•the null modem cable included in your FortiGate package,

•terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Windows.

Note: The following procedure describes how to connect to the CLI using Windows

HyperTerminal software. You can use any terminal emulation program.

To connect to the CLI:

1Connect the null modem cable to the communications port of your computer and to the FortiGate Console port.

2Make sure that the FortiGate unit is powered on.

3Start HyperTerminal, enter a name for the connection, and select OK.

4Configure HyperTerminal to connect directly to the communications port on the computer to which you have connected the null modem cable and select OK.

5Select the following port settings and select OK.

Bits per second	9600
Data bits	8
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None

6Press Enter to connect to the FortiGate CLI. The following prompt appears:

FortiGate-400 login:

7Type admin and press Enter twice. The following prompt appears:

Type ? for a list of commands.

For information on how to use the CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.

Factory default FortiGate configuration settings

The FortiGate unit is shipped with a factory default configuration. This default configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager to configure the FortiGate unit onto your network. To configure the FortiGate unit onto your network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and configuring routing if required.
