How to set up your FortiWAN
Configuring Network Interface (Network Setting)
Deployment Scenarios for Various WAN Types
This Section provides various network scenarios for the different WAN types and explains how FortiWAN can easily be
integrated into any existing networks.
WAN Type: Bridge Mode with a Single Static IP
Single Static IP is a common and simple WAN network scenario, where the ISP provides a single public static (fixed) IP
for the WAN link. Note: ISP often provides ATU-R, sometimes known as ADSL Modems with bridge model.
In this example it is assumed that WAN port 1 is connected to the bridge-mode ATU-R.
Please refer to the ATU-R User manual provided by your ISP to connect the ATU-R to FortiWAN’s WAN #1. Connect
LAN to FortiWAN’s LAN port via a switch or hub. In this example, FortiWAN’s Port2 is treated as LAN port. Please map
FortiWAN’s LAN port to the Port2 in [System] → [Network Setting] → [VLAN and Port Mapping]. Note: FortiWAN is
treated as a normal PC when connecting to other networking equipments.
WAN configuration:
1. Enter FortiWAN's Web-based UI.
2. Go to [System] → [Network Setting] → [WAN Settings].
3. In the WAN LINK scroll menu, select "1", and choose "Enable" in the Basic Settings.
4. In the WAN type scroll menu, select [Bridge Mode: One static IP].
5. Select [Port 1] in the WAN Port field.
6. Enter the up/down stream bandwidth associated with this WAN link. Example: If the ADSL Line on WAN1 is
512/64, then enter [64] and [512] in the Up Stream and Down Stream fields respectively. Note: The up/down
stream values entered will ONLY affect the BM and statistics reporting. Bandwidth will not increase if the values
are greater than the actual bandwidth.
7. Enter [211.100.3.35] in the Localhost IP field.
8. Enter [255.255.255.0] in the Netmask field.
9. Enter [211.100.3.254] in the Default Gateway IP field.
