Hi,

I have two FortiGates and I created an IPsec tunnel between them via IPsec Wizard.

The VPN is working well, but I cannot ping from Fortigate B CLI to a host in the other network.

The ideea is that in network A I have a FortiAnalizer and I want to send logs from Fortigate B to it.

 

Please help!

Thanks!

Kind regards,

    Hey there,

     

    set fortigate self-originates traffic settings and you'll be fine:

    That would be a nice feature request: most often, if no source IP is explicitely specified the LAN IP would be just fine, don't you think? Instead, the source address is chosen by some complicated, internal-only rumble mumble algorithm which I keep forgetting...
