SD-WAN cloud assisted monitoring speed test

SD-WAN cloud assisted monitoring speed test

FortiManager devices with the FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring Service subscription have the ability to execute a speed test on-demand from the SD-WAN Monitor page. The speed test can be executed on interfaces that have the WAN role.

To execute an SD-WAN speed test:
  1. Execution of speed tests can be performed from the SD-WAN Monitor page.
  2. For devices with a valid license and an interface configured with the WAN role, the Execute Speed Test option is displayed for the interface.
    • If there is a valid route to the cloud server, you will get measured bandwidth when executing the speed test.
    • If there is not a valid route to the cloud server, you will see an error message when executing the speed test.
    • You can perform the speed test up to 10 times per day. Attempts to perform additional speed tests will present an error message.
    • For devices without a valid license, or for devices with a valid license but without an interface configured to the WAN role, the Execute Speed Test option is not displayed.
  3. The results of the latest speed test are displayed on the SD-WAN Monitor pages in Map View, Table View, and when drilling down on a device. You can also see the results in Device Manager > Device Dashboard > SD-WAN Monitor.
