Administrative Access:
o Configure protocols that administrators can use to access interfaces on the FortiGate.
o This helps secure access to FortiGate by restricting access to limited number of protocols.
o It helps to prevent users from accessing interfaces that you do not want them to access.
o You should configure administrative access when you're setting the IP address for a port.
Go to Network > Interfaces Create or edit an interface. In the Administrative Access section,
select which protocols to enable for IPv4 and IPv6 Administrative Access.
HTTPS Allow secure HTTPS connections to the FortiGate GUI through this
interface. If configured, this option is enabled automatically.
HTTP Allow HTTP connections to the FortiGate GUI through this interface.
This option can only be enabled if HTTPS is already enabled.
PING Interface responds to pings. Use to verify installation and for testing.
FMG-Access Allow FortiManager authorization automatically during the
communication exchanges between FortiManager and FortiGate
devices.
CAPWAP Allow FortiGate wireless controller to manage wireless access point
such as FortiAP device. Control & Provisioning of Wireless AP protocol.
SSH Allow SSH connections to the CLI through this interface.
SNMP Allow a remote SNMP manager to request SNMP information by
connecting to this interface.
FTM FortiToken Mobile Push (FTM) access.
RADIUS Accounting Allow RADIUS accounting information on this interface.
FortiTelemetry Communicates info between FortiClient & FortiGate, sending status
info to FortiGate & receiving network-access rules from FortiGate.
Security Fabric Allow Security Fabric access. This enables FortiTelemetry and CAPWAP.
Connection
FortiManager:
FortiManager is a central management device that can be used to access and configure
FortiGate devices in your network. It also allows you to deploy FortiGuard across your network.

FortiToken Mobile Push (FTM):
VPN connections to FortiGate might require network authentication that uses a token from
FortiToken Mobile, which is an application that runs on Android or iOS devices. When
configured, you can push the token by clicking the FTM Push button in FortiClient console.
FortiClient Telemetry:
FortiClient Telemetry communicates information between FortiClient and FortiGate, sending
status information to FortiGate and receiving network-access rules from FortiGate.
SSH (Secure Shell):
SSH is network term, which is stands for Secure Shell. SSH provides secure remote access
connection to network devices. Communication between client & server is encrypted. SSH
commonly uses TCP port 22 to connect to devices. SSH, as the preferred management protocol.
SSH provides a secure and reliable mean of connecting to remote devices.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP):
SNMP is term which is stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is used to
monitor and manage devices on your whole networks. It has several uses, from monitoring &
generating alerts to device configuration. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is
the application layer protocol. SNMP is the key protocol used to retrieve information from the
network devices. All SNMP messages are transported via User Datagram Protocol (UDP). SNMP
agent receives requests on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 161.
