PPPoE up time

[fernet17]

Hello,

how can I see the up-time of a PPPoE connection? I can't find it, neither in the GUI nor with the CLI. Fortios knows this, doesn't it?

Thanks!

I don't think FortiOS is counting timer for UP or DOWN on any interfaces. Only way to know interface's uptime, I think, is to look back the last UP event log and calculate the time from the event to now.

Two thoughts:

1- have you checked the SNMP MIB?

2- if you attach a DynDNS hostname to the PPPoE port, you could check the date of the last change with the DynDNS provider (that's the way I do it as nearly all our PPPoE lines are forcibly reconnected once per day).

Hello,

thanks a lot for your creative input!

I'd have expected that the Fortios knows the PPPoE connection time.
