Hi, guys,

 

I am new to Fortigate device; 

In Juniper SRX device, I am using some CLI admin tools, such as traceoptions... etc.

 

If any CLI fortinet tools, thx

There is plenty of cli options on FrtiOS. What do you want to do?

Hi, SW,

 

Any built-in tools( CLI or WebGui ) for capturing packet, or automated administration tools ?

Due to the tools like, fortigate-cloud, Forti-analyzer....need license

Yurisk

Automated administration - REST API for all the devices. You don't need any additional license for that.

Packets capture - you can do it via GUI (on Fortigates with harddisk) or on CLI (any model) - look at  

diagnose sniffer packet <tcpdump syntax for matching here>

For logs - you can export logs in Syslog format for free.

But as Sebastian said - a lot depends on your use cases, what are you trying to achieve ?

OP

 

The fortigate matches juniper SRX in similar fashion.

 

 

Most of the traceoption  are our diag debug application.

 

The junos monitor flow is our diag sys session

 

request ike-debug again is our "diag debug application ike"

 

So junos and fortios have the same function just difference in doing it. PM me direct if you have a particular issues or if you have a junosSRX command that you want to do in  FortiOS , just raise it in this channel.
