Administrative port settings
In order to improve security, you can change the default port configurations for administrative connections to the FortiGate. When connecting to the FortiGate unit when the port has changed, the port must be included, such as https://<ip_address>:<port>. For example, if you are connecting to the FortiGate unit using port 99, the url would be https://192.168.1.99:99.
To configure the lockout options:
1. Go to System > Admin > Settings.
2. Under Administrative Settings, change the port numbers for HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and/or SSH as needed. You can also select Redirect to HTTPS in order to avoid HTTP being used for the administrators.
When you change to the default port number for HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or SSH, ensure that the port number is unique. If a conflict exists with a particular port, a warning message will appear.
