90D BGP Setup

Question

Currently we have a setup which is as follows..

ISP Modem -> Router (BGP; running in bridged mode) -> Fortigate 90D

I would like to remove the router as it is redundant, all it does it bridge the traffic and there is no QOS or anything, from what I can tell the 90D can do more and supports BGP anyway. I didn't setup the router (and nor did the ISP) but we are getting a lot of packet loss when using VOIP and ideally I want to remove the router from the setup as essentially it is just acting like a switch in the middle.

In terms of setting up the Foritgate to use BGP, are there any step\guides available. Most of the examples I have seen are for a dual ISP setup. We have one ISP which uses BGP and we have a number of public IPs that are used for different services.

The details given to me by our ISP are...I have changed the values

LAN IP subnet. 60.100.190.200/28

Usable IPs. 60.100.190.200-210/28

WAN IP. 60.100.2.81/30 (Router ID)

WAN VLAN. 1500

BGP Local AS: 12345

BGP Neighbor IP. 60.100.2.82 (Peer)

BGP remote AS: 123

BGP Password: 12345

From what I can tell I will need to do most of the setup in the CLI as a password needs to be specified along with the VLAN.

Any help is much appreciated.

The BGP setup on FortiGate is really easy. We use this all the time.

The VLAN is part of the interface setup - BGP doesn't care.

config router bgp set as 12345 set router-id 60.100.2.81 config neighbor edit "60.100.2.82" set description "My BGP peering" set remote-as 123 set password 12345

set activate6 disable // in case this is an

set send-community6 disable // IPv4 only setup

next end config network edit 1 set prefix 60.100.190.200/28 next end end end
