FortiGate-800 Administration Guide
Connect to server
Enable Connect to Server so that the interface automatically attempts
to connect to a DHCP server. Disable this option if you are configuring
the interface offline.
Status
Displays DHCP status messages as the FortiGate unit connects to the
DHCP server and gets addressing information. Select Status to refresh
the addressing mode status message.
initializing
No activity.
connecting The interface is attempting to connect to the DHCP server.
connected The interface retrieves an IP address, netmask, and other settings
from the DHCP server.
failed
The interface was unable to retrieve an IP address and other
information from the DHCP server.
PPPoE
If you configure the interface to use PPPoE, the FortiGate unit automatically
broadcasts a PPPoE request. You can disable connect to server if you are configuring
the FortiGate unit offline and you do not want the FortiGate unit to send the PPPoE
request.
FortiGate units support many of the PPPoE RFC features (RFC 2516) including
unnumbered IPs, initial discovery timeout that times and PPPoE Active Discovery
Terminate (PADT).
Figure 7: PPPoE settings
User Name
The PPPoE account user name.
Password
The PPPoE account password.
Unnumbered IP
Specify the IP address for the interface. If your ISP has assigned you a
block of IP addresses, use one of them. Otherwise, this IP address can be
the same as the IP address of another interface or can be any IP address.
Initial Disc
Initial discovery timeout. The time to wait before retrying to start a PPPoE
discovery. Set Initial Disc to 0 to disable.
Timeout
Initial PADT
Initial PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate (PADT) timeout in seconds. Use
this timeout to shut down the PPPoE session if it is idle for this number of
timeout
seconds. PADT must be supported by your ISP. Set initial PADT timeout to
0 to disable.
Distance
Enter the administrative distance for the default gateway retrieved from the
PPPoE server. The administrative distance, an integer from 1-255,
specifies the relative priority of a route when there are multiple routes to the
same destination. A lower administrative distance indicates a more
preferred route. The default distance for the default gateway is 1.
