Backup mode configuration
The modem interface in backup mode backs up a selected ethernet interface. If that
ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automatically dials the
configured dialup accounts. When the modem connects to a dialup account, the
FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected ethernet interface
to the modem interface.
The FortiGate unit disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the
ethernet interface when the ethernet interface can again connect to its network.
For the FortiGate unit to be able to switch from an ethernet interface to the modem
you must select the name of the interface in the modem configuration and configure a
ping server for that interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections
between the modem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
