Problem with LinkMonitor

Helo, I am with problem with link monitor in the FGT 100D 5.2.9. I did in of all, but the FGT no identify link is down.

 

Test:

### I disconnected the cable in the port1

 

# config system link-monitor edit "Link1" set srcintf "port1" set server "8.8.8.8" "200.221.2.45" set timeout 5 set failtime 3 set recoverytime 3 set update-cascade-interface disable next edit "Link2" set srcintf "wan1" set server "8.8.8.8" "200.221.2.45" set timeout 5 set failtime 3 set recoverytime 3 set update-cascade-interface disable next edit "Link3" set srcintf "wan2" set server "8.8.8.8" "200.221.2.45" set timeout 5 set failtime 3 set recoverytime 3 set update-cascade-interface disable next end

dumb questions

 

1: is port1  really up

 

2: does it have a  routes install on it

 

3: can you set the source-ip and next-hop

 

4: have  query the logs and the logdesc 

 

e.g

 

 execute  log  filter  field  logdesc "Link monitor status"

 execute  log  filter  cat 1

 execute log dis

1: is port1  really up

--- Now It is UP, but when it down the status no change.

 

2: does it have a  routes install on it

---- Yes, It has. I have 3 links and that link has very router.

---- in the test up I executed the command line "execute route restart". after I remove the cable in the port1.

 

3: can you set the source-ip and next-hop

---- Excuse, but I didn't understand. Do you want a test "execute ping-options source" ?

---- Look bellow, Is that?

4: have  query the logs and the logdesc

I asked to remove the network cable, again. --- At Interface/port1 was change status down. --- At Log/System has the log "Link Monitor: Interface port1 was turned down --- At linkMonitor the status UP

 

as the interface port1 is not status down in link Monitor, the firewall doesn't move the session to other port.

hmm...

 

Can you ensure logging is enabled for appliance and retest. Also it would not hurt to ensure that pings are being sent from  src x.x.x.x to the targets

 

CLI

 

diag sniffer packet port1 "src host XXX.XXX.XXX.170 and dust host 8.8.8.8" 4

 

If you have no  packets being sent and on the same  interval, the LinkMon is not functional. With out a logged event  that makes it harder to isolate if the monitor is working 100%

yes that was a typo ;)

 

So what does the diag sys link status show now?

 

On the  monitor, when when you disable the  link does it show a failure and logged event ?

 

 

e.g

 

cmd cli

 

execute  log   filter  reset

execute  log  filter  view-lines  1000

exec  log filter field logdesc "Link monitor status"

exec  log filter  category  1

execute  log  display

 

 

It should show the monitor dying and restarting

 

Make sure to re-exec a "execute  log   filter  reset" after your finish.
