Run the diagnose traffictest between two Fortigate

Hello, I am able to run the "diagnose traffictest" command from the Fortigate to a Linux machine wihin my network, but I would like to test the throughput between two fortigate firewalls that are connected over SD-WAN. can I run this command on one fortigate as a server and the other as a client?

 

Regards.

This is probably what you're looking for. However, this test, or even with your Linux machine, would measure the throughput of network inbetween the iPerf3 server and the client. Not the FGT itself. To measure including those two FGTs, you have to set the server and client BEHIND the FGT on each side and measure it THROUGH both FGTs.

You should download the latest iPerf3 if you want to test the throughput between two FortiGate.

PC to PC:

Server: iperf3 -s

client: iperf3 -c <serverIP> -i 10 -P 10 -f m -b 0 -t 60

Back to what you are trying to do - it is NOT possible to run iperf with Fortigates as client and server on both ends.
