Remote Assistance
Enabling this function allows Fortinet’s technical support specialist to enter your system for further troubleshooting when assistance is needed. FortiWAN allows technical support specialist to access the Web UI and backend system remotely, so as to assist users promptly upon the occurrence of problems. Remote assistance opens both TCP ports 443 for web UI and 23 for SSH debug.
Note: To enter the backend system via SSH login, a debug patch file is required.
