CLI Console |
The CLI console is a terminal window that enables you to configure the FortiManager unit using CLI commands directly from the GUI, without making a separate SSH, or local console connection to access the CLI. When using the CLI console, you are logged in with the same administrator account that you used to access the GUI. You can enter commands by typing them, or you can copy and paste commands into or out of the console. Click Detach in the CLI Console toolbar to open the console in a separate window. Note: The CLI Console requires that your web browser support JavaScript. |
