Troubleshooting Tip: How to manually Switch a SIM Card on FortiGateRugged-50G-5G-POE

By default, the device comes with an automatic switch based on set parameters. Hence, to do a manual switch, make sure the following settings are disabled:

config system 5g-modem

    config sim-switch

        set by-sim-state disable 

        set by-connection-state disable

        set by-link-monitor disable

end

Once these settings are disabled, run the command:

execute 5g-modem sim-switch

The SIM card switch may take a few seconds. Run the diagnose system 5g-modem sim-info to check the results.
