How to set up your FortiWAN
Configuring Network Interface (Network Setting)
IPv6 IP(s) in WAN
:
The IPv6 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.
IPv6 IP(s) in DMZ
:
The IPv6 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.
IPv6 Prefix
:
The IPv6 prefix that ISP provides.
IPv6 Gateway
:
The IPv6 address of the default gateway.
Enable SLAAC
:
Check to enable SLAAC.
Subnet
:
The IPv6 subnet deployed on the WAN link.
DMZ Port
:
The DMZ port for the IPv6 subnet.
Enable DHCP
:
Check to enable DHCP.
DHCP Range
:
Specify the range of IPv4 addresses for DHCP to use.
Static Mapping
:
Specify the static mapping between IPv4 Addresses and MAC addresses.
Enable DHCPv6 Service
:
Check to enable DHCPv6.
DHCP Range
:
Specify the range of IPv6 addresses for DHCP to use.
Static Mapping
:
Specify the static mapping between IPv6 Addresses and client IDs.
The SLAAC and DHCPv6 in FortiWAN are designed to work together, which the SLAAC responses router
advertisement (including default gateway and DNS server) to a host and DHCPv6 responses the host an appropriate
IPv6 address.
This topology can be seen where a group of valid IP addresses ranging 211.21.40.32~211.21.40.34 have been given
by ISP and assigned to port1 on FortiWAN. And their default gateway is 211.21.40.254 given by ISP as well.
If there are other hosts deployed on the WAN, then configure their IP addresses in [IP(s) in WAN]. And if there are
hosts deployed on the DMZ, then configure their IP addresses in [IP(s) in DMZ]. Check [Enable DHCP] if hosts in the
subnet in DMZ require DHCP service. And enter the starting and ending address in [DHCP Range]. If any host in the
subnet uses static IP address, then in [Static Mapping], enter its IP and MAC address.
For the details about DHCP, DHCP Relay, SLAAC and DHCPv6, see "
Automatic addressing within a basic subnet
".
