If you are new to Fortinet products, or if you are new to the CLI, this section can help you to become familiar. In the web UI, you use buttons, icons, and forms, while, in the CLI, you either type text commands or upload batches of commands from a text file, like a configuration script. You can use either interface or both to configure the FortiADC appliance.

The command-line interface (CLI) is an alternative to the web UI.
