Hi FortiManager is installed as vm at vmware. When I enter command "show system interface", the output is like below. We cannot see port 1 - 5 status since it show it too fast. Please see the below. What command can we use to show port 1 - 5 status? or show one page by one page. Thanks

Hey davidy,

You can also have the CLI show interfaces one at a time:
#show system interface port1
#show system interface port2
#show system interface port3
...

 

Also, you can scroll in VMware console with key shortcuts:
SHIFT+Page Up scrolls up
SHIFT+Page Down scrolls down

This can be a bit cluncky in my experience; you're paging through instead of really scrolling through, but it does let you go back to earlier output.

I hope it helps!

Great! it works. Thanks

 

BTW, do we have some command to save it?

Some command to save the console output?

Not that I'm aware of - if you use putty or a similar program, you can save the output to a file, but I'm not aware of an option in VMware, my apologies.

There might be one I'm unaware of, I'm no VMware expert.
