Technical Tip: Understanding SCTP Multihoming Configuration Behavior in FortiGate
| Description | This article will demonstrate the configuration behavior of SCTP multihoming in FortiGate. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | Diagram:
Configuration: The dummy IP is configured in case of overlapping networks between the SCTP server and the SCTP client side.
![]() The SCTP client’s initial connection request (INIT) from the client to the server will then be translated to this IP address.
This ensures that the SNATed IP is preserved in the SCTP IP parameter.
![]() Packet Capture: SCTP Client init chunk ingress to the FortiGate.
SCTP Client init chunk engress to the FortiGate.
