CLI help (intro) ?

[rb400]

I am trying to help a local newbie (or two) with FGT CLI.

I could not find any CLI basic documents.

Any suggestions to show someone: command hierarchy, navigation hints, structure, and FAQs?

Thanks in advance !!!

Thanks Patrick.  They need something more basic that informs the uninformed the hows and whys...this manual tells them the whats.

Hi,

well maybe I missed the point

http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/1087/fortigate-install-system-admin-50.pdf

is a good overview. It's not a "why IP" or "how IP routing works" but 250 pages is not to much ;)

http://docs.fortinet.com/fortigate/admin-guides holds lot pdfs that give more detail to certain concepts. But I think you know that link so it might not be what you like to find :(

Cheers, Patrick
