Description This article describes correctly interpreting bandwidth reading in FortiManager SD-WAN Monitor in the table view.
Scope FortiManager.
Solution
  1. When accessing the SD-WAN Monitor pane under Device Manager -> Monitors -> SD-WAN Monitor -> Table View, the user may notice there is a 0 bps value over the actual Upload/Download bandwidth value under the Upload and Download column.

  1. The user may suspect that the 0 bps value shown is a visual error. However, it represents the Estimated Bandwidth parameters (Upstream and downstream) from the FortiGate network interface configuration. This is not an error. The mandatory configurations to reflect this value in the FortiManager are both Role and Estimated Bandwidth settings in the FortiGate. The Estimated bandwidth can only be reflected in the FortiManager if the interface role is selected as 'WAN'.

GUI:

CLI:

 

config system interface
    edit <interface>
        set estimated-upstream-bandwidth <bandwidth> <--Integer value from <0> to <4294967295> kbps.
        set estimated-downstream-bandwidth <bandwidth> <--Integer value from <0> to <4294967295> kbps.
        set role wan
        end
    next
end
