FortiTelemetry-100G hardware agent

FortiTelemetry-100G agent performs monitoring tasks and sends logs to the cloud, managed by the FortiTelemetry Controller through the control and provisioning of wireless access points (CAPWAP) protocol.

This topic includes the following sections:

• Initial configuration of the agent

• Starting the agent

• Troubleshooting

Initial configuration of the agent

The FortiTelemetry-100G agent automatically starts upon device boot-up.

The FortiTelemetry-100G defaults to using port1 for connection with the FortiTelemetry Controller and requires an additional port for internet connectivity to execute monitoring tasks. By default, port1 is in DHCP mode. Only port1 can be used for CAPWAP connecting to the FortiTelemetry Controller (FortiGate).

You can use the FortiTelemetry console to configure network and system settings.

Display options in the FortiTelemetry console

You can use the help command in the FortiTelemetry console to view available commands.

Configure network settings

The following CLI commands can be used to configure network settings:

set portN-ip <IP/netmask>	Configure the IP address with the subnet mask information for the port. By default, port1 is used for connection with FortiTelemetry Controller.
set portN-ip <dhcp>	Set the port to receive its IP configuration via DHCP.
set default-gw <IP>	Configure the gateway IP address.

Configure the date, time and timezone

The following CLI commands can be used to configure the system time and timezone:

set date	Configure the system date.
set time	Configure the system time.
set timezone	Configure the timezone.

Starting the agent

To start the FortiTelemetry-100G agent:

1. Access the FortiTelemetry console.

2. Use the status command to view the current status of the FortiTelemetry-100G agent, including the serial number and system time.

Troubleshooting

You can use the exec ping and traceroute commands to troubleshoot network issues on the FortiTelemetry-100G.
