Description
This article describes how to check interface information (e.g link status) via CLI
There are times when it is required to check interface link status via the command line interface (CLI) only.
Scope
FortiGate interface management.
Solution
Use the command indicated in the related document to list the FortiGate's physical network interface's information such as IP address, physical link status, speed, and duplex mode:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/cli-reference/790821/system-interface-physical
The original command # get system interface shows more details on interface's information. Furthermore, the output shows all logical interfaces such as SSL VPN, VPN, VLAN, and software switch interfaces.
FGT #get system interfac
Example output:
