Configurations for a WAN link in Bridge Mode: One Static IP
[Bridge Mode: One Static IP] is used when ISP gives one static IPv4 address to a user. Usually, the IPv4 address a
user obtained is one IP address of a C class IPv4 network; it is indicated by the netmask 255.255.255.0. The default
gateway that ISP assigned is located at ISP’s network, while the ATU-R works in bridge mode. FortiWAN’s Bridge
Mode: One Static IP is suggested to apply for this case. IPv6/IPv4 dual static is supported for FortiWAN’s Bridge
Mode: One Static IP. In the dual static similar as previous case, ISP might provide you a WAN IPv6 subnet and a LAN
IPv6 subnet. You can deploy the LAN IPv6 subnet as a basic subnet in DMZ. Although the deployment is under
FortiWAN’s Bridge Mode, FortiWAN routes packets between WAN and DMZ for the IPv6 subnets. Basic subnets are
not supported for IPv4 network deployed in Bridge Mode. The following topology is widely seen where a user gets one
static IP from ISP.
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 configurations 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] beforehand in [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
