FortiGate-60 Installation Guide Version 2.80 MR8 Configuring the modem interface The FortiGate-60 includes the option of an external modem for use as either a redundant interface or a standalone interface in NAT/Route mode. • In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
Note: Do not add firewall policies for connections between the ethernet interface that the modem replaces and other interfaces. To operate in standalone mode Go to System > Network > Modem. From the Redundant for list, select the ethernet interface that the modem is replacing. 01-28008-0018-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
Configuring the modem interface Configuring modem settings Configure other modem settings as required. “Configuring modem settings” on page Make sure there is correct information in one or more Dialup Accounts. Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface. “Adding firewall policies for modem connections” on page Select Dial Up.
Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Standalone mode To connect to a dialup account Go to System > Network > Modem. Select Enable Modem. Make sure there is correct information in one or more Dialup Accounts. Select Apply if you make any configuration changes. 01-28008-0018-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
Configuring the modem interface Defining a Ping Server Select Dial Now. The FortiGate unit initiates dialing into each dialup account in turn until the modem connects to an ISP. Modem status is one of the following: not active The modem interface is not connected to the ISP. active The modem interface is attempting to connect to the ISP, or is connected to the ISP.
You can configure firewall policies to control the flow of packets between the modem interface and the other interfaces on the FortiGate unit. For information about adding firewall policies, see the FortiGate Administration Guide. 01-28008-0018-20050128 Fortinet Inc.
