Special management port numbers
In some cases you may want to connect to individual FIMs or FPMs to view status information or perform a maintenance task such as installing firmware or performing a restart. You can connect to the GUI or CLI of individual FIMs or FPMs in a FortiGate-7000 using the mgmt interface IP address with a special port number.
|
To enable using the special management port numbers to connect to individual FIMs and FPMs, the mgmt interface must be connected to a network, have a valid IP address, and have management or administrative access enabled. To block access to the special management port numbers, disconnect the mgmt interface from a network, configure the mgmt interface with an invalid IP address, or disable management or administrative access for the mgmt interface. |
For example, if the mgmt interface IP address is 192.168.1.99, you can connect to the GUI of the FPM in slot 3 using the mgmt interface IP address followed by the special port number, for example:
https://192.168.1.99:44303
The special port number (in this case 44303) is a combination of the service port (for HTTPS, the service port is 443) and the slot number (in this example, 03).
You can view the special HTTPS management port number for and log in to the GUI of an FIM or FPM from the Configuration Sync Monitor.
The following table lists the special port numbers to use to connect to each FortiGate-7000 slot using common management protocols.

You can't change the special management port numbers. Changing configurable management port numbers, for example the HTTPS management port (which you might change to support SSL VPN), does not affect the special management port numbers. |
FortiGate-7000 special management port numbers (slot numbers in order as installed in the chassis)
| Slot Number | Slot Address | HTTP (80) | HTTPS (443) | Telnet (23) | SSH (22) | SNMP (161) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | FPM05 | 8005 | 44305 | 2305 | 2205 | 16105 |
| 3 | FPM03 | 8003 | 44303 | 2303 | 2203 | 16103 |
| 1 | FIM01 | 8001 | 44301 | 2301 | 2201 | 16101 |
| 2 | FIM02 | 8002 | 44302 | 2302 | 2202 | 16102 |
| 4 | FPM04 | 8004 | 44304 | 2304 | 2204 | 16104 |
| 6 | FPM06 | 8006 | 44306 | 2306 | 2206 | 16106 |
For example, to connect to the GUI of the FIM in slot 2 using HTTPS you would browse to https://192.168.1.99:44302.
To verify which module you have logged into, the GUI header banner and the CLI prompt shows its hostname. The System Information dashboard widget also shows the host name and serial number. The CLI prompt also shows slot address in the format <hostname> [<slot address>] #.
Logging in to different modules allows you to use FortiView or Monitor GUI pages to view the activity of that module. Even though you can log in to different modules, you can only make configuration changes from the primary FIM; which is usually the FIM in slot 1.
