Connecting To The Fortios Cli Of The Fim Module In Slot 1 - Fortinet FortiGate-7030E System Manual

FortiGate-7030E System Management Module
By default when the chassis first starts up Console 1 is connected to the FortiOS CLI of the FIM module in slot 1 and
Console 2 is disconnected.
The default settings for connecting to each console port are: Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits
1, and Flow Control None.
The FIM and FPM modules use the standard FortiOS CLI. The SMC SDI CLIs are described in this chapter.
You can use the console connection change buttons to select the CLI that each console port is connected to.
Press the button to cycle through the FIM and FPM module FortiOS CLIs and disconnect this console.

Press and hold the button to connect to the SMM SMC SDI CLI. You can also cycle through each module's SMC
l
SDI CLI if they are enabled.
The console's LEDs indicate what it is connected to. If no LED is lit the console is either connected to the SMM SMC
SDI console or disconnected. Both console ports cannot be connected to the same CLI at the same time. If a console
button press would cause a conflict that module is skipped. If one of the console ports is disconnected then the other
console port can connect to any CLI.
If you connect a PC to one of the SMM console ports with a serial cable and open a terminal session you begin by
pressing Ctrl-T to enable console switching mode, then you can do the following:
Press Ctrl-T multiple times to cycle through the FIM and FPM module FortiOS CLIs (the new destination is
l
displayed in the terminal window). If you press Ctrl-T after connecting to the FPM module in slot 6 the console is
disconnected. Press Ctrl-T again to start over again at slot 1.
Press Ctrl-R multiple times to cycle through the FIM and FPM module SMC SDI CLIs if they are enabled (the new
l
destination is displayed in the terminal window). After cycling through all of the enabled SMC SDI CLIs the next
press of Ctrl-R disconnects the console port.
Once the console port is connected to the CLI that you want to use, press Enter to enable the CLI and log in. The

Each module, including the SMM, includes an SMC SDI console. These consoles are used for
low level programming of the module using an IPMI tool and are disabled by default. You can
enable serial access to individual module SMC SDI consoles from the SMM SMC SDI CLI
using the command serial set sdi enable <slot> . During normal operation you
may want to access the SMM SMC SDI CLI, you shouldn't normally require access to
individual module SMC SDI consoles.
