Configuring Network Interface (Network Setting)
How to set up your FortiWAN
Basic Setting
WAN Port
:
The physical port (network interface) on FortiWAN used to connect the WAN
link. For the deployment of multiple WAN links on one WAN port, set this field
with the same value for those WAN links. For example, select Port1 for con-
figurations of WAN link1, WAN link2 and WAN link3 for deploying the three
WAN links on WAN port1. Note: The port has to be mapped to [WAN] before-
hand in [VLAN and Port Mapping] (See "
", "
" and "
Configurations for VLAN and Port Mapping
").
Up/Down Stream
:
The WAN link's transfer speed at which you can upload/download data to/from
the Internet e.g. 512Kbps.
Up/Down Stream Threshold
:
Specify upstream/downstream (Kbps) threshold for the WAN link. WAN link
with traffic that exceeds the threshold values will be considered as failed.
FortiWAN’s Auto Routing and Multihoming (See "
Inbound Load Balancing and Failover (Multi-
") use the value while balancing traffic between WAN links if the
Threshold function is enabled. Leave it blank or zero if you do not apply
threshold to the WAN link.
MTU
:
(Maximum Transmission unit) refers to the size of the largest packet or frame
that a given layer of a communications protocol can pass onwards. It allows
dividing the packet into pieces, each small enough to pass over a single link.
IPv4 IP(s) on Localhost
:
The IPv4 addresses that are deployed on localhost (See "
"). IP addresses specified here can be used for NAT to transfer the
source IP address of packets to. The first IP address listed here will be used to
generate the NAT default rules of the WAN link (See "
").
IPv4 IP(s) in WAN
:
The IPv4 addresses that are deployed in WAN (See "
"). Note that hosts in WAN (connecting to WAN port) are invalid to
FortiWAN (access fails) if their IP addresses are not configured here.
IPv4 IP(s) in DMZ
:
The IPv4 addresses that are deployed in DMZ (See "
"). Note that hosts in DMZ (connecting to DMZ port) are invalid to
FortiWAN (access fails) if their IP addresses are not configured here.
IPv4 Netmask
:
The IPv4 netmask that ISP provides.
IPv4 Gateway
:
The IPv4 address of the default gateway.
IPv6 IP(s) on Localhost
:
The IPv6 addresses that are deployed on localhost (See "
"). IP addresses specified here can be used for NAT to transfer the
source IP address of packets to. The first IP address listed here will be used to
generate the NAT default rules of the WAN link.
For FortiWAN V4.0.x, sys-
tem does not generate NAT default rules for IPv6 WAN links, setting
NAT rules manually is required
(See "
").
