Fortinet FortiWiFi 60E-DSL SD-WAN Underlay Monitoring, 1-Year (FC-10-FW60F-288-02-12)

SD-WAN can only steer traffic well if it knows the real state of each link, and a branch’s broadband rarely advertises when it is degrading. The 1-Year FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring Service for the FortiWiFi 60E-DSL (FC-10-FW60F-288-02-12) gives the firewall that visibility: it actively measures the bandwidth and quality of the underlay WAN connections so the 60E-DSL can make better path decisions. It is a subscription tied to one FWF-60E-DSL, delivered electronically, with nothing to ship.

What this service covers

SD-WAN Underlay monitoring feeds the FortiWiFi 60E-DSL continuous measurements of its transport links for the term:

• Active bandwidth measurement: the actual throughput available on each WAN link is sampled, rather than assumed from the contracted rate.
• Link-quality metrics: latency, jitter, and packet loss are tracked so the firewall sees degradation as it happens.
• Better path selection: SD-WAN steering and SLA decisions draw on measured conditions, improving how sessions are routed across links.
• Underlay awareness: the service watches the underlying transport, the foundation every overlay tunnel and application policy depends on.

Who needs it

This service suits sites where a FortiWiFi 60E-DSL runs SD-WAN across more than one link, such as a primary broadband line with an LTE or secondary circuit for failover, and where application performance depends on choosing the healthiest path. If a branch has a single, stable connection and no real path choice to make, the value is smaller.

Activation and delivery

The subscription is issued electronically and registered to one FortiWiFi 60E-DSL by serial number. Once applied, the device begins measuring its underlay links and SD-WAN decisions use that data for twelve months. Nothing ships.

Where this fits, and a note on the platform

Underlay monitoring is an SD-WAN telemetry service, separate from the FortiGuard security bundles and from the management services. It pairs naturally with FortiGate Cloud (FC-10-FW60F-131-02-12) for visibility and with FortiAnalyzer Cloud (FC-10-FW60F-585-02-12) for retained analytics. The FortiWiFi 60E-DSL is a previous-generation platform; this license keeps an installed unit’s SD-WAN decisions well-informed while you plan an eventual move to the FortiWiFi 70G line.
