Two suggestions:

1- make absolutely sure you have the password correct (i.e., paste it)

2- some ISPs deliver on a VLAN, that is, tagged. If your modem doesn't remove tags this might be the issue.

Aslo check for other ports and try wan connection.

Hello Siddhanth, 

Thank you for your reply 

1- Yes, password is correct

2- ISP is tagging on VLAN7 , same VLAN tagging works on Cisco. 

 

Do you see anymore issue? or the only option is to check by changing port ?

Can you share "show sys int wan2" and "show sys int wan2.7", after masking username/ENC password of course.

set role wan
next

edit "wan2.7"
set vdom "root"
set mode pppoe
set allowaccess ping https fgfm
set device-identification enable
set monitor-bandwidth enable
set role wan
set username xxxxxxxxx
set password xxxxxxxx
set interface "wan2"
set vlanid 7

end


config router static

First, remove pppoe from wan2. Only thing you want to configure is changing the default dhcp to static so that it won't pull any IP on the non-tagged interface. Leave the rest unchanged.

VLAN 7 interface seems to be ok.

If it still doesn't work, sniff packets at "wan2.7" if you can see any meaningful traffic. If not, sniff it at "wan2" interface to see if it's actually tagged with VLAN 7. Below is the output on my 40F. All traffic is tagged with VLAN 201 (Lumen).

fg40f-utm (root) # diag sniffer packet wan
interfaces=[wan]
filters=[none]
pcap_lookupnet: wan: no IPv4 address assigned
1.483471 802.1Q vlan#201 P0
1.483484 802.1Q vlan#201 P0
1.483591 802.1Q vlan#201 P0

1.842814 802.1Q vlan#201 P0
1.845574 802.1Q vlan#201 P0

It seems like there might be an issue with PPPoE configuration on the Fortigate 60F, possibly related to interface settings or credentials. Double-check the configuration to ensure accuracy and try troubleshooting the PPPoE setup.

Observe these steps to invalidate a PPPoE interface on WAN2.7:

  1. Access the web interface of your router or other network equipment.
  2. Go to the section for WAN2.7 configuration.
  3. Search the PPPoE settings for a "Disconnect" or "Invalidate" option.
  4. To end the PPPoE connection on WAN2.7, select this option.
  5. When prompted, affirm the activity.

The PPPoE interface can be invalidated to cut off the connection and unplug it from the internet. If you want to troubleshoot or modify the settings on your network's WAN2.7 interface, you might need to do this.
