CLI basics
The FortiBridge CLI functions the same as the FortiOS v2.80 CLI. For information
about the CLI structure, how to get command help, how to use command
completion, and other CLI features, see the FortiOS v2.80 FortiGate CLI
Reference Guide.
Connecting to the FortiBridge CLI using SSH or Telnet

• Connecting to the FortiBridge CLI using SSH
To connect to the FortiBridge CLI using Telnet, see “Connecting to the FortiBridge

Setting administrative access for SSH or Telnet
To configure the FortiBridge unit to accept SSH or Telnet connections, you must
set administrative access to SSH or Telnet for the FortiBridge interface to which
your management computer connects.
To use the CLI to configure SSH or Telnet access
1 Log into the CLI.
2 Use the following command to configure an interface to accept SSH connections:
config system interface
edit <name_str>
set allowaccess ssh
end
Where <name_str> is the name of the FortiBridge interface to be configured to
accept SSH connections. Internal means the FortiBridge INT 1 interface. External
means the FortiBridge EXT 1 interface.
