Automatic addressing within a basic subnet

FortiWAN functions for various network topologies which consists of connectivity of multiple subnets (basic subnet).
Deployments of basic subnets varies for purposes, but they can be simply divided, according to the location, into three
basic types: WAN-sided subnet, DMZ-sided subnet and LAN-sided subnet, which are supposed to connect to the WAN
port, DMZ port and LAN port of FortiWAN. FortiWAN so that services the hosts in the subnets. For this reason,
mechanisms to automatically address the hosts in those basic subnets are provided. FortiWAN's automatic addressing
is designed to serve the hosts in DMZ-sided and LAN-sided subnets. Hosts in WAN-sided subnets can only be
addressed manually. DMZ-sided subnets are divided further into Subnet-in-DMZ, and Subnet-in-WAN-and-DMZ.
FortiWAN's automatic addressing is designed according to IPv4 network and IPv6 network, which is described as
follows:
IPv4 Automatic addressing
FortiWAN provides standard
hosts in the following subnets or IP range:
DMZ Side
LAN Side

Basic Setting is the necessary settings for a WAN link, such as
download bandwidth , threshold , netmask , gateway and the localhost IP , to
enable data transmission on a WAN link. The setting fields varies on the WAN types.
: Basic Subnet is the configuration for the subnets deployed on a WAN link. You decide
the subnet type (or ignore it) according to your various requirements and the network
ISP provides.
: If there are subnets, which are called static routing subnets, connected to a basic sub-
net, it's necessary to configure the static routing for external accessing to the static
routing subnets.
