SMS notification

SMS notification

FortiExtender-201E and 211E support Simple Message Service (SMS). This enables you to configure multiple mobile phone numbers on the FortiExtender to received SMS alerts. Not all receivers can receive SMS notifications. Be sure to adjust the receiver sequence to ensure that the first receiver always gets SMS notifications.

To create receivers:
config system sms-notification
	set notification enable/disable

config receiver
	edit <user1>
		set receiver enable/disable
		set phone-number <mobile phone number, format: +(country code)(phone number)>
		set alert <type of alerts i.e system-reboot,data-exhausted,session-disconnect,etc >
	next
	edit <user2>
		set receiver enable/disable
		set phone-number <mobile phone number, format: +(country code)(phone number)>
		set alert <type of alerts i.e system-reboot,data-exhausted,session-disconnect,etc >
	next
end

The following are the types of alerts that are supported:

config system sms-notification alert
    set system-reboot system will reboot
    set data-exhausted data plan is exhausted
    set session-disconnect LTE data session is disconnected
    set low-signal-strength LTE signal strength is too low
    set os-image-fallback system start to fallback OS image
    set mode-switch system networking mode switched
    set fgt-backup-mode-switch FortiGate backup work mode switched
