Description | This article describes how to change the baud rate of the FortiGate serial port. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.0 and above. |
Solution |
FGT# config system console FGT(console) # set baudrate ? 115200 115200 19200 19200 38400 38400 57600 57600 9600 9600
In FortiOS version 7.2.10 and onwards, the command to change the baud rate directly from the CLI is no longer available. Instead, it can be changed by accessing the configuration menu during the boot process. Follow these steps:
[1]: 9600
Example:
Please stand by while rebooting the system. FGT50B-HD (18:34-05.06.2008) Ver:04000005 Serial number:FG50BH3G09600253 RAM activation Total RAM: 512MB Enabling cache...Done. Scanning PCI bus...Done.
