Unit Operation
In the Unit Operation widget, an illustration of the FortiGate unit’s front panel shows the
status of the unit’s Ethernet network interfaces. If a network interface is green, that
interface is connected. Pause the mouse pointer over the interface to view the name, IP
address, netmask and current status of the interface.
If you select Reboot or ShutDown, a pop-up window opens allowing you to enter the
reason for the system event.
You can only have one management and one logging/analyzing method displayed for
your FortiGate unit. The graphic for each will change based on which method you choose.
If none are selected, no graphic is shown.

Note: Your reason will be added to the Disk Event Log if disk logging, event logging, and
admin events are enabled. For more information on Event Logging, see “Configuring Event
logging” on page 717.
