Description | This article describes what action to take when the HQIP test shows error 'Please check wired cables or switch device's settings SEND/RECV below threshold (<80%)'. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.2.X. |
Solution |
The first symptom is found when the ping test to the LAN interface has some packet lost, for example, ping lost to FortiGate interface default IP:
C:\Users\Helio>ping -t 192.168.1.99 Reply from 192.168.1.99: bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=255
The HQIP test shows interface link being detected:
Interface MAC Linkage CurrentSpeed CurrentDuplex SettingSpeed Default(Supported)
Network Interface Detection - [[ PASS ]]
But when the HQIP doing an interface loopback test, the below error is found:
Interface | Packets / Checked | Pkt/s | kBytes | kB/s | Drop/Err/Crc |
It is important to confirm the network cables are working fine before any test. If such an error is found, due to hardware damage, the solution is to RMA FortiGate. |
