The console port on NGAF (Next-Generation Application Firewall) used for two primary functions: out-of-band management and debugging/diagnostic purposes. It allows technicians to access the device CLI for troubleshooting, initial configuration, and advanced diagnostics. To access NGAF using the console port, you'll need to connect a computer to the console port using a console cable, and then use PuTTY/Tera Term to establish a connection. Once connected, you can interact with the NGAF device thru the CLI, executing commands and configuring settings as necessary. However, it's important to note that access via the console port is typically restricted to authorized personnel for security reasons & end users are generally advised to access the device through its networking interface for regular usage.
