Adding a Ping Server
Adding a ping server is required for routing failover for the modem in redundant mode. A ping server confirms the connectivity to an Ethernet interface.
To add a ping server to an interface
1Go to System > Network > Interface.
2Choose an interface and select Edit.
3Set Ping Server to the IP address of the next hop router on the network connected to the interface.
4Select the Enable check box.
5Select OK to save the changes.
Dead gateway detection
The FortiWiFi unit uses dead gateway detection to ping the Ping Server IP address to make sure the FortiWiFi unit can connect to this IP address.
Modify dead gateway detection to control how the FortiWiFi unit confirms connectivity with a ping server added to an interface configuration. For information about adding a ping server to an interface, see above.
To modify the dead gateway detection settings
1Go to System > Network > Options.
2For Detection Interval, type a number in seconds to specify how often the FortiWiFi unit tests the connection to the ping target.

4Select Apply.
Adding firewall policies for modem connections
The modem interface requires firewall addresses and policies. You can add one or more addresses to the modem interface. For information about adding addresses, see the FortiGate Administration Guide. When you add addresses, the modem interface appears on the policy grid.
You can configure firewall policies to control the flow of packets between the modem interface and the other interfaces on the FortiWiFi unit. For information about adding firewall policies, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.
