Hi, Guys,

The terminal server (A RJ45 jack) is configured for connecting the console port of the Forti600E, but I can not find the console port, as the attached.

Please advise the way to configure the Fortigate console port, thx a lot.

Have you tried looking at the actual device? or the datasheet as I will link here: https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/FortiGate_600E.pdf

It's just to the left of the interfaces on your GUI screenshot.

I think OP is looking for a way to "configure" the console port in GUI. You can configure only from CLI under "config sys console". I think only baud rate can be changed form the default 9600. The rest is data-8bit/stop-1bit/parity-none/flow control-none and fixed. Below is my 50E's settings:

fg50e-utm (console) # show full config system console set mode line set baudrate 9600 set output more set login enable set fortiexplorer enable end
