Fortigate 4G-Huawei E8372 4G Wingle dongle modem not detected issue

[dineshkumar]

Hi Team I  have a FortiGate 621B firewall with FortiOS 5.2.5 build 701 and trying to bring it up to internet link through the Huawei E8372 4G Wingle dongle based connectivity, but FortiGate has not detected the 4 g dongle. I tired with fnsys cat /proc/bus/USB/devices command to find the product id and vendor id configured in 3g-modem custom configuration. But still not able to detect the 4g dongle modem. If anyone worked on this please help.

basically those usb umts modems on a FGT are a pain in the **** :(

You mostly don't know what you get inside and even if you do you cannot be sure because of vendor and product ids.

However I think I had one E8372 4G on a FGT. afair this workis like a usb ethnernet dongle. I have set it up as wwan device using config system lte-modem on cli.
