Getting Started

Use the CLI or console into hardware appliances for initial device configuration. You can enable SSH access on the port1 administration interface or any other administrative port set through the CLI command. 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.

Only admins with SuperAdminProfile priveleges can SSH to use the CLI.For information, see Admin Profiles.

To connect to the FortiNDR GUI:

1. Connect to the port1 management interface (default 192.168.1.88) 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.

Only Super Admin users can access the CLI using SSH. For more information, see Admin Profiles.
