Instructions does not work with Fortigate FGT90D?

Hi all, 

New to firewall analyzer. I'm doing a survey for my company who is seeking an alternative to FortiCloud. A bunch of the instructions did not work. I'll set it to underline.

Configuring the FortiGate Firewall

Follow the steps below to configure the FortiGate firewall:

  1. Log in to the FortiGate web interface
  2. Select Log & Report > Log Setting or Log & Report > Log Config > Log Setting (depending on the version of FortiGate)
  3. If you want to export logs in WELF format:
    • Select the Log in WebTrends Enhanced Log Format or the WebTrends checkbox (depending on the version of FortiGate)
    • Enter the IP address of the syslog server
    • Choose the logging level as Information or select the Log All Events checkbox (depending on the version of FortiGate)
  4. If you want to export logs in the syslog format (or export logs to a different configured port):
    • Select the Log to Remote Host option or Syslog checkbox (depending on the version of FortiGate) Syslog format is preffered over WELF, in order to support vdom in Fortigate firewalls.
    • Enter the IP address and port of the syslog server
    • Select the logging level as Information or select the Log All Events checkbox (depending on the version of FortiGate)
    • Select the facility as local7
  5. Click Apply

lease follow the steps to enable the device to send the logs to Firewall Analyzer.

  • Start CLI on the Fortigate firewall.
  • Execute the following commands to enable Syslog:

Enable syslog:

config log syslogd setting<cr>

set server (ip address)<cr>

set status enable<cr>

end<cr>

  • Execute the following commands to enable Traffic:

Enable traffic:

config log syslogd filter<cr>

set severity information<cr>

set traffic enable<cr>

set web enable<cr>

set email enable<cr>
set attack enable<cr>
set im enable<cr>

set virus enable<cr>

end <cr>


I can't type in the IP (using my laptop as a test. Say the IP is 192.168.1.10, to log in the Firewall Analyzer, we go to 192.168.1.10:8500. I also can't do the sets in CLI.

Much help is appreciated.
