Fortinet 71 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
Connecting to the web UI or CLI
To configure, maintain, and administer the FortiWeb appliance, you need to connect to it. There
are two methods:
•Web UI — A graphical user interface (GUI), from within a web browser. It can display reports
and logs, but lacks many advanced diagnostic commands. For usage, see “How to use the
web UI” on page 45.
•Command line interface (CLI) — A text interface similar to DOS or UNIX commands, from a
Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet terminal, or from the JavaScript CLI Console widget in the
web UI (System > Status > Status). It provides access to many advanced diagnostic
commands as well as configuration, but lacks reports and logs. For usage, see the FortiWeb
CLI Reference.
