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
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.
Clone MAC Enable : Configure MAC address clone.
