FortiGate 90D WAN failover

Hi there

I've been trying to find instructions on how to setup a FortiGate 90D in dual WAN failover mode, but haven't seen anything. Could you please help me out with the setup, or point me to a relevant thread?

 

My H/W is a FortiGate 90D running on v5.6.0 build144, and two ADSL lines connected to the WAN ports via ethernet cable from the ISP's default modem/router

 

Thanks for your help

This is about setting up load balancing. I need to do a failover configuration

If it's just an Internet failover, this is the typical failover setting with different priorities on two default routes and link-monitor.

It can be use as failover only, under Load Balancing Algorithm, select Session and prioritize the WAN1 interface to serve all traffic (WAN1 = 100 and WAN2 = 0).

The advantage of using SD-WAN is that you do not have to use the same duplicate policies.

You can use the Basic Failover, that'll do the trick too.
