Arping
[Arping] is used to detect the MAC address of a PC. Enter an IP address or host name of target device. Select a port
(WAN, LAN, or DMZ). If WAN port has been selected, specify the WAN link number index. Details of ARP and error
message are out of the scope of this manual; please refer to other documents for more information.

IPv6 Neighbor Table Show & Clear
[IPv6 Neighbor Table Show & Clear] is used to display or clear the IPv6 and MAC address of neighbor servers or
devices. Select a [port] and click [Show], to display the neighbor information of this port. Or select a [port], click [Clear]
to clean up the neighbor information of this port, and confirm the message to clear. After this, a message shows that
neighbor table has been cleared successfully.
Nslookup Tool
[Nslookup Tool] is used to inquire domain name of hosts. Enter a host in Target Domain. Select a host type from
optical [Type] list: Any, A, AAAA, CNAME, DNAME, HINFO, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT; and select a server from
optical [Server] list: Internal DNS, Multihoming, etc. Click [Nslookup] to start the inquiring session, and the domain
name of target host will show in the field. Click [Stop] to halt the session.
Tcpdump
Interface
:
Tcpdump can capture FortiWAN data packets and download captured packets to local host for ana-
lysis and debug. Firstly, select an interface from [Interface] to capture packets. In its drop-down
list, tunnel will display if Tunnel Routing has been configured. Option [Any] enables all interfaces
to capture packets.
Timeout
:
Set [Timeout] value. Once time is over, capture will stop. Lastly, click [Start] to start capturing and
download intercepted packets to local host. It should be noted that FortiWAN does not store the
Tcpdump packets. Click [Stop] to stop capturing.
Setting the system time & date
[Date/Time] lets you configure time, date, and time zone. [Date] follows the year/month/day date format, and [Time]
uses 24-hour time system in the hour:minute:second format. [Time Zone] is represented by continent and city,
[America] and [New York], for example. FortiWAN uses NTP time server for accurate time synchronization, simply by
clicking the [Synchronize Time] button. And other time servers are also included in the drop-down list which can be
added or deleted at your preference.
