Administration Guide

Getting started

Getting started

Use the CLI for initial device configuration. You can enable SSH access on the port1 administration interface or any other administrative port set through the CLI command including RAID. You can also connect to the CLI using the console port. Some troubleshooting steps also use the CLI.

Use the GUI to configure and manage FortiNDR from a web browser on a management computer. We recommend using Google Chrome.

To connect to the FortiNDR GUI:
  1. Connect to the port1 management interface using the following CLI commands:
    config sys interface
        edit port1
        set ip x.x.x.x/24
    end
  2. In a web browser (Chrome recommended), browse to https://192.168.1.88.

    The GUI requires TCP port 443.

  3. Use admin as the name and leave the password blank. Click Login.
