Fortinet FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth & Quality Monitoring, 1-Year (FC-10-F30EG-288-02-12)

The FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL is the cellular version of the 30E, with a built-in LTE modem that often serves as a backup or even a primary WAN at remote sites. That makes link quality measurement especially useful, because a cellular underlay varies far more than a wired circuit. The FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL 1-Year FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring service (FC-10-F30EG-288-02-12) gives the firewall continuous readings of each underlay, wired and LTE alike, so SD-WAN steers traffic onto whichever path is healthiest at the moment. SD-WAN itself is part of FortiOS; this subscription adds the FortiGuard measurement layer. License only, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

The service profiles the quality of every underlay feeding the 30E-3G4G-GBL, including the cellular link:

• Active link measurement: latency, jitter, and packet loss are sampled on the wired WAN and the built-in LTE connection so FortiOS has a live view of each path.
• Bandwidth and quality data: throughput and quality metrics feed SLA targets, which is what lets SD-WAN move sensitive traffic off a degraded cellular link before users notice.
• Carrier accountability: recorded metrics show when a wired ISP or a mobile carrier is underperforming.
• Cloud visibility: link-quality history aids troubleshooting of intermittent connectivity, which is common with cellular WAN.

Who needs it

This is aimed at 30E-3G4G-GBL deployments that lean on the cellular link: pop-up or temporary sites, vehicles and kiosks, or branches that fail over to LTE when the wired line drops. If the device runs a single fixed connection and never uses SD-WAN steering, the monitoring service adds little.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and bound to the specific FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL by serial number. Once active, FortiOS uses the measurement data across the full twelve-month term. Nothing ships, and the device is required before activation.

One service or a broader subscription

This line measures the links; it does not inspect the traffic crossing them. Protection for the 30E-3G4G-GBL still comes from its FortiGuard subscriptions, the UTP or Enterprise bundle, with intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering. Underlay monitoring complements that rather than replacing it. The 30E-3G4G-GBL is an older E-series model, so factor a move to a current cellular-capable G-series FortiGate into longer-term planning; the same SD-WAN monitoring carries across when you do.
