Performance SLA for WAN links

[BensonLEI]

Hi, guys,

I am using Fortigate 400E and 600E with the FortiOS v6.4.2 and v6.4.4.

Any idea to create Performance SLA for one WAN link ( If I do not create SDWAN group ), or how to monitor the SLA of one WAN link ?

thanks a lot

Hi, SARAJ,

The above KB is configuring performance SLA under virtual-wan-link ( SDWAN).

I am finding advice/recommendation of performance SLA setup for one Link without sdwan ( virtual-wan-link ), thx ?

With regards

Hello Benson,

Looking at your requirement. You can use link-monitor feature (CLI only) on the FortiGate.

This will not work completely as the performance SLA, but it will show you the information on how the link is performing using the command "diagnose sys link-monitor status"

[size="2"]diagnose sys link-monitor status Link Monitor: 0, Status: alive, Server num(1), Flags=0x1 init, Create time: Fri Feb 12 01:52:09 2021 Source interface: port1 (3) Source IP: 10.10.0.21 Interval: 500 ms  Peer: 8.8.8.8(8.8.8.8)         Source IP(10.5.21.50)         Route: 10.5.21.50 ->8.8.8.8/32, gwy(10.5.31.254)         protocol: ping, state: alive                 Latency(Min/Max/Avg): 5.334/5.543/5.450 ms [size="2"]                Jitter(Min/Max/Avg): 0.002/0.122/0.050                 Packet lost: 0.000%[/size][/size][size="2"]                 Number of out-of-sequence packets: 0                 Fail Times(0/5)                 Packet sent: 104, received: 104, Sequence(sent/rcvd/exp): 105/105/106[/size]

Here, you can see the Latency, Jitter and Packet loss on the link.
