Technical Tip: Object color codes of firewall address object for CLI

The color codes are shown below:

• 1 is black.
• 2 is blue.
• 3 is green.
• 6 is red and so on.

The below can be found in the FortiGate GUI itself under the address object.

But, when performing bulk configuration from the CLI, it is helpful to know which color code is matching with which colors.

The following diagram shows the codes and color names that are available.

Sample CLI configuration for each color code:
