FortiGate Next Generation Firewall utilizes purpose-built security processors and threat intelligence security services from FortiGuard labs to deliver top-rated protection and high performance, including encrypted traffic.
This article describes how to configure the 'speed test' feature and the 'speed test schedule' feature to enable automated measurements at scheduled times.
Scope
FortiGate v7.4.x and above.
Solution
It is possible to schedule the speed test to run at a specific time every day and apply the results to the 'Estimated Bandwidth' field.
Via CLI:
Use the settings below to configure the FortiGate speed test feature:
config system interface
edit portxxx <----- WAN interface. set monitor-bandwidth enable end
config system speed-test-schedule edit "portxxx" set schedules "Every-Day" <----- Previously created schedule profile. set update-inbandwidth enable <----- Ignore interface's inbandwidth shaping set update-outbandwidth enable <----- Ignore updating interface's outbandwidth shaping.
next end
The speed test will run every day at a specific time, but the value obtained in the test is not automatically populated in the 'Estimated bandwidth' field, making it necessary to select 'Apply results to estimated bandwidth'.
