Availability of commands and options
Some FortiOS CLI commands and options are not available on all FortiGate units. The CLI displays an error message if you attempt to enter a command or option that is not available. You can use the question mark ‘?’ to verify the commands and options that are available.
Commands and options may not be available for the following reasons:

All commands are not available on all FortiGate models. For example, a hardware switch can be configured only on models which have the corresponding hardware switch chipset.
Hardware configuration
For example, settings like mediatype would only be available on units with SFPs.
FortiOS Carrier, FortiGate 5K/6K/7K, FortiGate with LTE, etc.
Commands for extended functionality are not available on all FortiGate models. The CLI Reference may not include all commands.
