Maximum Disk Cache
to 512, 1024, or 2048MB.
The default is 512MB. If your hard disk can accommodate a larger cache, better
optimization performance is possible.

To enable FortiClient WAN Optimization on a FortiGate unit
Because PCs running FortiClient have IP addresses that change often you cannot use
peers to authenticate FortiClient. Instead you can add an authentication group set to
accept any peer. You must also add a passive rule that includes source and destination
addresses that will accept connections from the IP addresses of PCs running FortiClient.
For example, if the PCs running FortiClient are on the Internet the source address could
be 0.0.0.0.
You do not need to add firewall policies to allow FortiClient to participate in WAN
optimization because the FortiGate unit accepts and authenticates WAN optimization
connection attempts depending on configured WAN optimization rules.

Configuring WAN optimization storage
WAN optimization storage is used for storing the web cache and byte cache databases. In
most cases you can accept the default storage configuration for FortiGate units that
support WAN optimization and include internal storage, such as the FortiGate-111C and
FortiGate units with a single width-AMC slot in which you have installed and AMC hard
disk or SAS module.
You only have to configure WAN optimization storage if you have more than one possible
storage location. This can happen on FortiGate models with multiple single-width AMC
slots or if you add one or two iSCSI servers to your WAN optimization configuration. When
you add a second storage location you must configure the FortiGate unit to use this
storage location for web caching, byte caching or both. You configure WAN optimization
storage from the FortiGate CLI.
