Check the system status
Check the hardware performance
Check the High Availability state
Check the session table of the firewall

2.0 Check the interface settings

Check the state, speed and duplexity an IP of the interfaces
Check the ARP Table

3.0 Check the Routing Table

Check the matching route

4.0 VPN Troubleshooting

Change the tunnel state
Check the tunnel state
Check packet counters for the tunnel

5.0 sniffertrace

6.0 View logging on cli

Viewing the logs

7.0 Backup and Restore

8.0 Other troubleshooting commands (advices from the visitors)

1.0 Check the basic settings and firewall states

Check the system status

to see the actual software version, operational mode, HA, etc and the system time:

myfirewall1 # get sys status

Check the hardware performance

to see what is the state of the cpu and the uptime:

myfirewall1 # get system performance status
CPU states: 0% user 0% system 0% nice 100% idle
CPU0 states: 0% user 0% system 0% nice 100% idle

Uptime: 24 days,  11 hours,  25 minutes

to see the high cpu eaters, in case of high cpu usage:

myfirewall1 # get system performance top

Check the High Availability state

to get the High Availability state info with get command:

myfirewall1 # get sys ha status
Model: 311
Mode: a-p
Group: 0
Debug: 0
ses_pickup: enable
Master:254 myfirewall1 FG311B1111111111 0
Slave :128 myfirewall2 FG311B1111111112 1
number of vcluster: 1
vcluster 1: work 10.0.0.1
Master:0 FG311B1111111111
Slave :1 FG311B1111111112

with show command the configuration:
(it is worth use the full-configuration to see all the default settings)

In the example I set the followings:

  • the hearbeat goes on port5 and with backup on port6
  • stateful failover is enabled
  • the priority in Ha for this cluster unit (The fortigate has a default setting for priority, there will be only one master if you do not set it on the cluster members. This is cool.)
  • and the monitored ports: port4, port6, port6
myfirewall1 # show full-configuration system ha
config system ha
    set group-id 0
    set group-name "FGT-HA"
    set mode a-p
    set password ENC 
    set hbdev "port5" 20 "port6" 10
    set route-ttl 10
    set route-wait 0
    set route-hold 10
    set sync-config enable
    set encryption disable
    set authentication disable
    set hb-interval 2
    set hb-lost-threshold 6
    set helo-holddown 20
    set arps 5
    set arps-interval 8
    set session-pickup enable
    set link-failed-signal disable
    set uninterruptable-upgrade enable
    set vcluster2 disable
    set override enable
    set priority 254
    set monitor "port4" "port5" "port6"
    unset pingserver-monitor-interface
    set pingserver-failover-threshold 0
    set pingserver-flip-timeout 60
end

with the diagnose command the state again:

myfirewall1 # diagnose sys ha status
HA information
Statistics
        traffic.local = s:2096712 p:2541238162 b:1972123729708

FG300A3907506630, 0. Master:254 myfirewall1(prio=0, rev=0)

Check the session table of the firewall

the values from the session table of the firewall (the max against the used):

myfirewall1 # diag sys session full-stat
session table:           table_size=65536 max_depth=1 used=2
expect session table:    table_size=1024 max_depth=0 used=0

fqdn_count=00000000
tcp reset stat:
        syncqf=0 acceptqf=0 no-listener=11025 data=0 ses=0 ips=0

Check the sessions

The following list has only one session, that may be a DNS request from 192.168.227.97 to .the dns server 65.39.139.53.
Do not use this command on live system with many traffic, it lists all sessions and that has no sence.

myfirewall # diag sys session list
session info: proto=17 proto_state=01 duration=2214 expire=123 timeout=0 flags=00000000 sockflag=00000000 sockport=0 av_idx=0 use=3

total session 7

You can filter to the session that you looking for (example):

myfirewall1 # diagnose sys session filter src 192.168.227.129
myfirewall1 # diag sys session list
…

2.0 Check the interface settings

Check the state, speed and duplexity an IP of the interfaces

myfirewall1 # get system interface physical
== [onboard]
        ==[internal]
                mode: static
                ip: 192.168.224.65 255.255.255.224
                ipv6: ::/0
                status: up
                speed: 100Mbps (Duplex: full)
        ==[wan1]
                mode: static
                ip: 3.3.3.3 255.255.254.0
                ipv6: ::/0
                status: up
                speed: 100Mbps (Duplex: full)
        ==[wan2]
                mode: static
                ip: 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
                ipv6: ::/0
                status: down
                speed: n/a
        ==[modem]
                mode: pppoe
                ip: 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
                ipv6: ::/0
                status: down
                speed: n/a

Check the MAC and the state of the interfaces. The name of the interface in the example below is internal.

Here you can see following in the output

– Interface name
– MAC
– Link state
– Speed
– Duplex
– MTU
– Packet and Byte counters
– Errors

Check the ARP Table

This contains the permanent and the dynamic ARP entries

myfirewall1 # get system arp
Address           Age(min)   Hardware Addr      Interface
4.4.4.66	  0          00:08:da:52:33:b6 	port4
4.4.4.74	  16         00:21:9b:94:38:44 	port2
4.4.4.131	  0          00:00:0c:07:ac:23 	port6
4.4.4.150	  1          00:09:0f:09:01:3b 	port6
4.4.3.3		  0          02:00:5e:47:c1:a3  port5

3.0 Check the Routing Table

In this example we route everything through a vpn tunnel, called fortigw-311b:

myfirewall1 # get router info routing-table all
Codes: K - kernel, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, B - BGP
       O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
       * - candidate default

S*      0.0.0.0/0 [5/0] is directly connected, fortigw-311b
S       10.0.0.0/8 [10/0] via 3.3.3.1, wan1
C       3.3.3.0/23 is directly connected, wan1
S       4.4.3.48/32 [10/0] via 3.3.3.1, wan1
S       4.4.3.66/32 [10/0] via 3.3.3.1, wan1, [0/50]
C       192.168.223.17/32 is directly connected, gre1
C       192.168.223.18/32 is directly connected, gre1
C       192.168.224.64/27 is directly connected, internal

Check the matching route

Are you looking for a spesific route in a big database? No problem use the details:

myfirewall1 # get router info routing-table details 10.20.100.10
Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
  Known via "static", distance 10, metric 0, best
  * 3.3.3.1, via wan1

4.0 VPN Troubleshooting

The most significant part for vpn is the time on the devices. The check the time use the following command:

myfirewall1 # get sys status
Version: Fortigate-50B v4.0,build0632,120705 (MR3 Patch 8)

Change the tunnel state

Bring up a vpn tunnel manually. No traffic required.

myfirewall # diag vpn tunnel up phase2-name phase1-name

Shut down a vpn tunnel manually.

myfirewall # diag vpn tunnel down phase2-name phase1-name

Check the tunnel state

If there is no SA that means the tunnel is down and does not work. To see if the tunnel is up we need to check if any SA exist.
To see if the tunnel is up you can use the diagnose vpn tunnel list name or diagnose vpn tunnel dumpsa command.
Tunnel state is down

Tunnel does not exist if there is no output of the commands below:

myfirewall1 # diagnose vpn tunnel list name myphase1
list ipsec tunnel by names in vd 0

with the dumpsa command:

myfirewall1 # diag vpn tunnel dumpsa

The output of the command below shows zero sa (no security association)

myfirewall3 # diagnose vpn tunnel stat
dev=1 tunnel=0 proxyid=1 sa=0 conc=0 up=0

Tunnel state is up

Informations from the output of the command below:
– vpn peers
– encrypted traffic (source and destination)
– traffic counters for encrypted traffic
– SPI for encrypt and decrypt
– Encryption method

In the following output the second tunnel with the name fortigw-311b-wlan-ph2 is down.

myfirewall # diagnose vpn tunnel list name fortigw-311b
list ipsec tunnel by names in vd 0

Check packet counters for the tunnel

To see if the encryption and decryption of the packages works use 2 or more times the diagnose vpn ipsec status or the diagnose vpn tunnel list command and compare the values. On the second and third outputs the counter should show larger number.

5.0 sniffertrace

The basic command is “diagnose sniffer packet”, after that you have to define the interface* (or the keyword any):

myfirewall1 # diagnose sniffer packet
    the network interface to sniff (or "any")

*Looks like you cannot filter explicitly on tunnel interface, you have to use any in that case and define a filter string.

And the tcpdump like filter string (or the keyword none):

myfirewall1 # diagnose sniffer packet any
    flexible logical filters for sniffer (or "none").
For example:  To print udp 1812 traffic between forti1 and either forti2 or forti3
'udp and port 1812 and host forti1 and \( forti2 or forti3 \)'

And the output format you expect (I use always the 4)

myfirewall1 # diagnose sniffer packet any none

1: print header of packets
2: print header and data from ip of packets
3: print header and data from ethernet of packets (if available)
4: print header of packets with interface name
5: print header and data from ip of packets with interface name
6: print header and data from ethernet of packets (if available) with intf name

myfirewall1 # diagnose sniffer packet any none 4
    sniffer count

myfirewall1 # diagnose sniffer packet any none 4 4
interfaces=[any]
filters=[none]

The 2. parameter after “…port6 arp 1? is the number of packets to be sniffered. In this example it is set to 2.

myfirewall # diagnose sniffer packet port6 arp 1 2
interfaces=[port6]
filters=[arp]
0.907592 arp who-has 3.3.3.3 tell 3.3.3.5
1.907597 arp who-has 3.3.3.3 tell 3.3.3.5
myfirewall #

If the sniffer should be analysed with Wireshark, the following pl script should be used:
fgt2eth.pl

6.0 View logging on cli

There are some fields that you wont ever see in webui as in the column setting you cannot choose them. Just an example for this is a false pre-shared key, the field that tells you what the problem is, called “error_reason”.

The buffer size is limited and if the buffer is full the old logs will be overwritten.
To check your buffer size issue the following command:

myfirewall # get log memory global-setting
full-final-warning-threshold: 95
full-first-warning-threshold: 75
full-second-warning-threshold: 90
max-size : 98304

Configure logging

To view the logs on the CLI issue the following commands (it is better to use a syslog server as checking the logs from memory, it is slow).

myfirewall # execute log filter device memory
myfirewall # execute log filter start-line 1
myfirewall # execute log filter view-lines 10
myfirewall # execute log filter category event

Check if that is correct for you.

myfirewall # execute log filter dump
category: event
device: memory
roll: 0
start-line: 1
view-lines: 10

Viewing the logs

In this example we can sse a failed vpn session as the preshared key is not identical on the vpn peers. The logs are not in every cases so talkative, for example the logs for different encryption traffic failure refer to nothing usefull.

Logs for preshared key failure:

myfirewall3 # execute log display

8.0 Other troubleshooting commands (advices from the visitors)

1. List UTM settings from the command line. If VDOMs are not enabled just run the last line [Sameslug].

config vdom
edit ${VDOM_NAME}
show firewall policy

2. This will change a UTM IPS signatures from their default to ALL-PASS or ALL-BLOCK [Sameslug].

config vdom
edit ${VDOM_NAME}
config ips sensor <<< Start here if VDOMs are not enabled
edit ${UTM_IPS_NAME}
config entries
edit 1
set action [pass|block] <<< Here is where you choose to pass|block – use unset action for signature defaults.
end
end
