Java-based manager overview
The Java-based administration client provides many of the same functions as the Web-based Manager (see
“Using the Web-based Manager”). The Java-based manager is a desktop application and thus has faster performance than the Web-based Manager.
The three primary parts of the FortiManager java-based interface are the Main Menu Bar, the navigation pane, and the content pane. The option also exists to include a Console Pane, which shows all the data sent to and received from the server.
All of the panes are tab based. For more information see
“Tabs”.
| The Java-based manager cannot be used to add devices to the FortiManager system. |
