How to set up your FortiWAN
Configuring Network Interface (Network 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 Gateway
:
The IPv4 address of the default gateway. This field is mandatory.
IPv6 Gateway
:
The IPv6 address of the default gateway. This field is optional. Ignore it for
IPv4 WAN links or configure it for IPv4/IPv6 dual stack WAN links.
Basic Subnet and Static Routing Subnet
As mentioned previously, FortiWAN’s Routing Mode plays the role routing packets between subnets. For applications
deploying different subnets in FortiWAN’s WAN or (and) DMZ, you are required to complete configuration of the
subnets. There are two majore types of subnets for your options to deploy.
IPv4 / IPv6 Basic Subnet
Basic subnets are subnets connected directly to FortiWAN. According to the location a subnet deployed to, Basic
Subnet (See "
") is divided into:
l
Subnet in WAN: A subnet deployed in WAN.
l
Subnet in DMZ: A subnet deployed in DMZ.
l
Subnet in WAN and DMZ: A subnet deployed in WAN and DMZ. The subnet that is on the same network segment is
implemented by Proxy ARP.
l
Subnet on Localhost (Not support for [IPv6 Basci Subnet])
Among these, [Subnet in WAN and DMZ] is the most general basic subnet for deplyment. You can have multiple basic
subnets for various requirements, such as one subnet in WAN and another subnet in DMZ, or one subnet in WAN and
DMZ and another subnet in DMZ. Note that it is necessary to deploy at least one subnet in WAN or subnet in WAN and
DMZ for a WAN link. you cannot configure a WAN link containing only one basic subnet which is deployed in DMZ. The
field “IP(s) on Localhost” in configuration of Subnet in DMZ is for assigning IP(s) on the DMZ port, not for WAN port. It
