Fortinet Command Line Portal

Always having official and thorough reference is handy for admins. we do spend so much time to find the complete reference of commands and options to configure or troubleshoot or device other than their brands, currently, I am involved mostly with networks that equipped with Fortinet devices and need to find appropriate and fast command and options for doing my everyday job. Fortinet has great reference resources as well as community and I would say excellent support. recently they just announced CLI portal which is great idea, simple and integrated interface to find commands. currently, they are running BETA version and also available only for FortiOS 5.4 and I would say not complete resource but I’m pretty sure during the month ahead they will continue to work and publish more stuff. I really like the idea.

Right now there is 4 main category for Config (Only FortiOS 5.4), Execute, Get and Diagnose which you can look for command manual. as I said a long way to find everything, but a really good start.

for example, i have searched for OSPF but got no result, but find the IPSec config. good stuff.

I’m really interested in diagnosing as most of the task are to troubleshoot and looking much forward to see more in this field.

Good knowledge helps to improve and good reference helps to improve knowledge.
