Interface
System network
DDNS
Enable or disable updates to a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. When the FortiGate
unit has a static domain name and a dynamic public IP address, select DDNS Enable
to force the unit to update the DDNS server each time the address changes. In turn,
the DDNS service updates Internet DNS servers with the new IP address for the
domain.
Dynamic DNS is available only in NAT/Route mode.
Ping server
Add a ping server to an interface if you want the FortiGate unit to confirm connectivity
with the next hop router on the network connected to the interface. Adding a ping
server is required for routing failover. See
“To add or edit a static route” on page 152
.
The FortiGate unit uses dead gateway detection to ping the Ping Server IP address to
make sure that the FortiGate unit can connect to this IP address. To configure dead
gateway detection, see
“To modify the dead gateway detection settings” on page 90
.
Administrative access
Configure administrative access to an interface to control how administrators access
the FortiGate unit and the FortiGate interfaces to which administrators can connect.
You can select the following administrative access options:
Connect to server
Enable Connect to Server so that the interface automatically attempts to
connect to a PPPoE server. Disable this option if you are configuring the
interface offline.
