Create a data plan

You can configure a data plan on the FortiGate with the below parameters:

config extender-controller dataplan

edit Verizon

set modem modem1

set type by-carrier

set carrier Verizon

set apn WE01.VZWSTATIC

set auth NONE

set user

set pwd

set pdn ipv4-only

set signal-threshold 0

set signal-period 0

set capacity 0

set monthly-fee 0

set billing-date 0

set overage disable

set preferred-subnet 32

set private-network disable

When "private network" is enabled, FortiExtender allows the flow of non-NAT'ed IP traffic on to an LTE interface. Otherwise, it does not.
