Question

Active syslog with non existing ip address

Hi all,

For making some tests, I need to simulate that my logs are from another Fortinet device from another private network. In this case, I want my syslog server to receive logs with an external ip address source

I don't know if it's possible. Is there any NAT policy able to change that source ip ? I tried few examples I've found on internet but I'm always having an error message back : "wrong ip address" (because I don't have any interface with the ip address I want to use)

 

Thank you all !

    If it's only for a test, add a second IP to that interface. I wouldn't leave it there longer than a few hours though if it is a production network.

    Hi @rwpatterson

    Sorry for the delay but i couldn't try your solution before.

    When I'm trying to apply a secondary ip address, I've got a message "Conflicts with 'mgmt1' subnet" but there is no conflict so I guessed it's because I'm using a kind of random ip address for the fortinet right ?
