Setting administrative access on an interface

To perform administrative functions through a FortiAnalyzer network interface, you must enable the required types of administrative access on the interface to which your management computer connects. Access to the CLI requires Secure Shell (SSH) access. If you want to use the GUI, you need HTTPS access.

To use the GUI to configure FortiAnalyzer interfaces for SSH access, see the FortiAnalyzer Administration Guide.

To use the CLI to configure SSH access:

1. Connect and log into the CLI using the FortiAnalyzer console port and your terminal emulation software.
2. Use the following command to configure an interface to accept SSH connections:

   config system interface

   edit <interface_name>

   set allowaccess <access_types>

   end

   Where <interface_name> is the name of the FortiAnalyzer interface to be configured to allow administrative access, and <access_types> is a whitespace-separated list of access types to enable.

   For example, to configure port1 to accept HTTPS and SSH connections, enter:

   config system interface

   edit port1

   set allowaccess https ssh

   end

   Remember to press Enter at the end of each line in the command example. Also, type end and press Enter to commit the changes to the FortiAnalyzer configuration.

3. To confirm that you have configured SSH access correctly, enter the following command to view the access settings for the interface:

   get system interface <interface_name>

   The CLI displays the settings, including the management access settings, for the named interface.
