What command would you use to view the running configuration on a FortiGate unit?

The command used to view the running configuration on a FortiGate unit is "show full-configuration." This command provides a comprehensive display of the entire current configuration of the firewall, including all settings and options that have been configured. It allows administrators to see what settings are currently active and helps in troubleshooting and validating configurations.

This is important for effective management, as it gives a complete overview of the device's operational parameters. The "show full-configuration" command is particularly beneficial because it ensures that all parts of the configuration, including those that may not be immediately apparent or could have inherited values, are displayed.

Other options, while related to configuration display, either do not exist or do not provide the same level of detail about the active configuration as "show full-configuration." For example, "config display" does not accurately represent an existing command in Fortinet's CLI, and "get running-config" is not a proper command for Fortinet devices. Lastly, "show running" may seem like a common command found in other network appliance contexts, but it does not correspond to any valid command for viewing the running configuration in FortiGate specifically.
