Shelf manager command line interface (CLI)
You can use the shelf manager CLI to communicate with the intelligent management
controllers of the chassis, with boards in the chassis, and with the shelf manager itself.
The CLI is an IPMI-based set of commands that can be accessed directly or through a
higher-level management application or a script. Using the CLI, you can access
information about the current state of the chassis including current board population,
current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall chassis health.
Connecting to the shelf manager CLI using the console port
You can connect to the shelf manager CLI using the shelf manager RS-232 RJ-45 console
port. To connect this console port to a management PC you must use the Fortinet shelf
manager console adapter (FGSMC ADPTR 1). You cannot connect a standard null-
modem console cable to the shelf manager console port.
