Question

lost connectivity after restart

After restarting our Fortigate 60C, I found that it does not automatically reconnect to WAN1. The interface shows as being up, but no traffic passes through. I have to mark the interface as administratively down, then bring it back up again. After that, everything works fine. We' re running v4.0,build0441,110318 (MR3), standalone, in NAT mode. Could someone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this? Specifically, which events should I be logging to catch the problem? System Activity? Anything else?

    Have you tried setting the speed and duplex to a hard code as opposed to auto? It may be as simple as that. Unfortunately you' ll have to bounce it to test...

    You should also point out that it matters what the ISP has set as well. I would check with your provider to see what there port is set to that you are plugging your WAN1 into. If there is a mismatch between you and the ISP' s internet device, you will still see issues.

    Figured it out! I had an incorrect distance setting in one of the interfaces, so the failover wasn' t working correctly. Not sure exactly why it only manifested itself after a reboot, but I changed the value and now everything works fine. Thanks for your help, though!
