Technical Tip: Get the public IP of the WAN connection from the CLI
| Description | This article describes how to obtain the WAN IP from the FortiGate CLI. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | Run the following command in the CLI:
diagnose sys waninfo ipify
This will grab the public IP of the default connection from https://api.ipify.org.
If multiple WAN connections are in place and it is necessary to obtain the public IP for a specific one, run the following:
diagnose sys waninfo ipify <interface_name>
If multi-VDOM is used, the command must be run on global VDOM: config global
This is useful when the FortiGate is behind NAT and the public IP of the WAN connection(s) is not known. Related article: |
