Configuring Network Interface (Network Setting) How to set up your FortiWAN
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
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 "Outbound Load Balancing
and Failover (Auto Routing)" and "Inbound Load Balancing and Failover (Multi-
homing)") 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 Localhost IP :
The IPv4 address that ISP provides (See "Scenarios to deploy subnets").
IPv4 Netmask : The IPv4 netmask that ISP provides.
IPv4 Gateway : The IPv4 address of the default gateway.
IPv6 Localhost IP :
The IPv6 address that ISP provides (See "Scenarios to deploy subnets").
