FortiGate 101F PPPoE on UK vDSL using Draytek 167 in Bridge Mode

Hi All,

I'm looking for advise on configuring a backup internet connection using vDSL.

I have a Draytek 167 which I plan to set to bridge mode and perform the PPPoE authentication on the FortiGate.

I have a single /32 public ip address.

 

Any thoughts on this?

The ISP is Andrews and Arnold.

Not much thought to put on unless your vDSL provider is using a VLAN.
1. Put your vDSL route/modem in bridge/modem mode like in this video:

2. configure your 101F's wan port with PPPoE via either GUI or CLI.

@Toshi_Esumi Pretty much just that.

Just need to work through "link-monitor" config to failover to WAN2 when WAN1 is unavailable.
