Hello All,

 

If we are managing switches over fortilink thru Fortigate, are we still able to SSH / telnet into the switches to make some changes like multicasting IGMP querier set up on the Switches?

 

Thanks

    I am answering my own question here. The CLI from within GUI of FortiGate works to allow us make any changes (advanced functionality that is not available thru the GUI). I though have not yet been able to validate if I can do a serial console, which I believe will, when I get to have access to physical equipment in couple of days, but likely SSH or telnet is not available. I will come back as soon as I am able to validate.
