Connecting to the web-based manager or CLI
To configure, maintain, and administer the FortiMail unit, you need to connect to it. There
are three methods for these tasks:
• using the web-based manager, a graphical user interface (GUI), from within a current
web browser
• using the command line interface (CLI), a command line interface similar to DOS or
UNIX commands, from a Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet terminal
• using the front panel’s LCD display and control buttons on some models that are
equipped with LCD displays and control buttons
If you are connecting for the first time, or if you have just reset the configuration to its
default state, or have just restored the firmware, access to the CLI and/or web-based
manager is not yet configured, and you must access it using the default settings.
In that case, you can use the following procedures to connect.
After you have connected, you can use the web-based manager or CLI to configure basic
network settings and access to the CLI and/or web-based manager through your network.
Connecting to the web-based manager
To connect to the web-based manager using its default settings, you must have:
• a computer with an Ethernet port
• a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or greater, or a recent
version of Mozilla Firefox, with Adobe Flash Player 10 or greater plug-in
• a crossover Ethernet cable
Note:
Executing a shutdown command will shut down the board’s operating system. The
board itself will still receive power from the chassis and indicator lights on the board may
remain lit after a successful shut down operation.
