Technical Tip: Info about build-in speed-test-server

FortiGate v6.2 and above.

Users should be aware that it is not possible to configure custom servers under:

config system speed-test-server

This config is built-in and cannot be modified.

To see which servers are currently present, run:

execute speed-test-server list

Or for more details:

show sys speed-test-server

If empty, run:

execute speed-test-server download

And when the download is completed, then re-run:

execute speed-test-server list

Or:

show sys speed-test-server

Note:
The FortiGate has to be connected to FortiGuard and able to reach either the AWS or Google speed test servers.

To use and test with the above, an 'SD-WAN Network monitor' license is needed. If the FortiGate does not have a valid SD-WAN Network Monitoring License, the following error will be generated:

Failed to get a valid SD-WAN Monitoring (SWNM) license to execute speed test.
Command fail. Return code 25

Interface speedtest

Note: The WAN link needs the 'Role' to be set as 'WAN' to work.
