Management traffic
This local traffic is delivered to the FortiGate unit TCP/IP stack and includes communication with the web‑based manager, the CLI, the FortiGuard network, log messages sent to FortiAnalyzer or a remote syslog server, and so on. Management traffic is processed by applications such as the web server which displays the FortiOS web‑based manager, the SSH server for the CLI or the FortiGuard server to handle local FortiGuard database updates or FortiGuard Web Filtering URL lookups.
