Hello
I want to connect my fortinet 40f to the bell canada fiber in pppoe without going through the
bell modem. I have a connection error. I spoke with the bell technician and he told me that 
I had to configure the vlan 35 and the mtu 1492. The only problem is that he does not know 
the fortinet and I do not know how to configure a vlan 35 and a mtu 1492. 
so can you help me.

Thank you

Michel

Should be simple same as my CLINK/Lumen fiber pppoe over vlan 201. It seems to detect MTU automatically so I never configured it but so far no performance issue and speed test shows exactly what I subscribed to.

config system interface edit "ClinkVl201"

set vdom "root" set mode pppoe set allowaccess ping set username "xxxxxxxxxx@qwest.net" set password xxxxxxxxxx set interface "wan1" set vlanid 201 next end fg50e-utm (ClinkVl201) # get | grep mtu detected-peer-mtu : 1492 mtu-override : disable

If you want your internet connection not to go through Bell modem, ask their support to setup the modem in Bridge mode then your FortiGate will have the public IP under PPPoE instead of a private.
You can add the VLAN under the interface through GUI or use following CLI command.
config system interface
    edit VLAN_35
        set vdom root
        set interface internal
        set type vlan
        set vlanid 100
        set mode static
        set ip x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
        set allowaccess https ping
    end

Here is the KB for the GUI/CLI to change MTU:
