Configuring the modem interface

Network configuration

Viewing modem status

To view the status of the modem connection go to 

System > Network > Modem

.

Modem status is one of the following:

A green check mark indicates the active dialup account.

The IP address and netmask assigned to the modem interface appears on the System 
Network Interface page of the web-based manager.

Backup mode configuration

The modem interface in backup mode backs up a selected ethernet interface. If that 
ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically dials the 
configured dialup accounts. When the modem connects to a dialup account, the 
FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected ethernet interface 
to the modem interface.

The FortiGate unit disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the 
ethernet interface when the ethernet interface can again connect to its network.

For the FortiGate unit to be able to switch from an ethernet interface to the modem 
you must select the name of the interface in the modem configuration and configure a 
ping server for that interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections 
between the modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.

To configure backup mode

1

Go to 

System > Network > Modem

.

2

From the Redundant for list, select the ethernet interface that you want the modem to 
back up.

3

Configure other modem settings as required.
See 

“Configuring modem settings” on page 108

.

4

Configure a ping server for the ethernet interface selected in step 

2

.

See 

“Adding a ping server to an interface” on page 97

.

5

Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface.
See 

“Adding firewall policies for modem connections” on page 111

.

Standalone mode configuration

In standalone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dialup account. The 
modem interface operates as the primary connection to the Internet. The FortiGate 
unit routes traffic through the modem interface, which remains permanently connected 
to the dialup account.

not active

The modem interface is not connected to the ISP. 

active

The modem interface is attempting to connect to the ISP, or is connected to 

the ISP.

Note: 

Do not add policies for connections between the modem interface and the interface that 

the modem is backing up.
