Configuring Network Interface (Network Setting) How to set up your FortiWAN
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.
User Name : Fill in the Username provided by ISP.
Password : Fill in Password provided by ISP.
Service Name : Fill in service name provided by ISP. Left it blank if ISPs do not require it.
IPv4 Address : Fill in the IPv4 address provided by ISP. Left it blank if ISPs do not require it.
IPv6 Enable : Check to enable IPv6 over PPPoE.
Redial Enable : Since some ISPs tend to turn off PPPoE connection at a certain schedule,
FortiWAN will automatically re-establish every disconnected PPPoE link when
detected. In order to prevent simultaneous re-connection of multiple links, dif-
ferent re-connection schedules can be configured for different WAN links to
avoid conjunction. After reconnection schedule is configured (HH:MM), the sys-
tem will perform PPPoE reconnection as scheduled daily.
Clone MAC Enable : Configure MAC address clone.

Configurations for a WAN link in Bridge Mode: DHCP
[Bridge Mode: DHCP Client] is used when FortiWAN WAN port gets a dynamic IP address from DHCP host. IPv6 is not
supported in this WAN type.
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 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 "WAN link and WAN port", "VLAN and
port mapping" 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
