Question

OID for transport?

We have a bunch of branch office fortinets in the field (don't know the model as the MSP rebrands them) running version 6.4 . Each gateway is using wan1 and wan2 in an active/standby mode. is there a way via snmp to see which wan path is currently active? basically we want to find out immediately when the primary goes down (typically fiber or cable) and it fails over to the secondary (cell).  Many thanks.  Jeff

thank you for you response.  i walked that oid already and found that both wan1 and wan2 are up all the time.  let's assume a cable modem for WAN1 and cell for WAN2.  if i disconnect the cable feed into the cable modem, WAN1 interface would stay up, but path selection would start routing on WAN2.  So that OID wouldn't work for this - is there an OID that is specifically related to path selection?
