Guidelines
Web Administration Ports
HTTP
Specify the port for the HTTP service. Usually, HTTP uses port 80.
HTTPS
Specify the port for the HTTPS service. Usually, HTTPS uses port 443.
Telnet
Specify the port for the Telnet service. Usually, Telnet uses port 25.
SSH
Specify the port for the SSH service. Usually, SSH uses port 22.
Web Administration
Language
Language of the web UI.
The following languages are supported:
• English
• Simplified Chinese
• Korean
• Japanese
The display’s web pages use UTF-8 encoding, regardless of which language you choose. UTF-8 supports multiple languages, and allows them to display correctly, even when multiple languages are used on the same web page.
For example, your organization could have websites in both English and simplified Chinese. Your FortiDDoS administrators prefer to work in the English version of the web UI. They could use the web UI in English while writing rules to match content in both English and simplified Chinese without changing this setting. Both the rules and the web UI will display correctly, as long as all rules were input using UTF-8.
Usually, your text input method or your management computer’s operating system should match the display by also using UTF-8. If they do not, your input and the web UI may not display correctly at the same time.
For example, your web browser’s or operating system’s default encoding for simplified Chinese input may be GB2312. However, you usually should switch it to be UTF-8 when using the web UI, unless you are writing regular expressions that must match HTTP client’s requests, and those requests use GB2312 encoding.
Note: This setting does not affect the display of the CLI.
Timeout
Number of minutes that a web UI connection can be idle before the administrator must log in again. The maximum is 480 minutes (8 hours). The default is 30 minutes.
