Heartbeat/Fortigate
![]()
Hi all,
does anybody has already made a connection with a fortigate, with the wan interface using pppoe (this interface is connected to my ISP, so it is getting a dynamic IP address). I got a sixxs tunnel, with address in 6in4 with heartbeat mode (i choosed this because the firewall is at the top of my network).
I tried the doc in the wiki but it's not working. I tried lot of differents tricks, but i never was able to get it work.
If someone did this, could it be possible to have a configuration example.
Regards,
Olivier Martin
Heartbeat/Fortigate
Unless somebody implemented Heartbeats on this Fortigate it won't work as the tunnel will not be active without proper heartbeats arriving at the PoP.

I actually have a Tunnel running over a PPPoE Link (that gets a new IP daily).
The only thing is that you need to run something on your LAN that does the Heartbeat (like a Unix stattion that runs that daemon).
In essence you can follow the example on http://www.sixxs.net/wiki/Fortigate
Some notes though:
- I am using a current FortiOS 4.2 (Patch1)
- in additon to the example i needed to specify the "carrier" Interface
(off this, PPPoE runs && SIT Tunnel runs). After creating the "SIT Interface"
change this Interface and add the underlying PHY.
config system interface
edit "sixxs"
set type tunnel
config ipv6
set ip6-allowaccess ping
end
set interface "wan1" <-------!!!!
next
end
- If you use PPPoE and get Dynamic IPs assigned, you cannot specify a SRC-IP for yout SIT-Tunnel. So i have it on 0.0.0.0
config system sit-tunnel
edit "sixxs"
set destination <POP v4 address>
set ip6 <Your v6 address>
set source 0.0.0.0
end
- I will push to get Heartbeat integrated into FortiOS, so that no external "Hearbeat Client" is needed. Earliest for this would be FortiOS 4.3 though.
