Using a FortiCache

Some FortiGate devices don't have sufficient memory or disk space to run a cache service. This feature allows a FortiGate to connect to a FortiCache that has a higher cache capability than most FortiGates.

Syntax:

config wanopt remote-storage

set status {enable|disable}

set local-cache-id <name ID for connection>

set remote-cache-id <ID of the remote device>

set remote-cache-ip <IP address of the remote device>

end

Option Description
status Enable or disable whether the FortiGate uses a remote caching device as web-cache storage. If disabled, uses local disk(s) as web storage.
local-cache-id ID that this device uses to connect to the remote caching device
remote-cache-id ID of the remote caching device that this FortiGate connects to
remote-cache-ip IP address of the remote caching device that this FortiGate connects to.
