Hi,

I need some help for configuring an IPSec VPN tunnel on a Fortigate that has WAN1 and WAN2, configured as secondary with a bigger distance value.
We need to use WAN2 to configure a site-to-site ipsec, but I'm struggling with let it work; before adding the second connection on WAN2, it was configured on WAN1 without problem.

 

Any tips for me for the configuration?

Thanks!

Hi @enrico_l,

 

I believe you created a new tunnel for WAN2 but it is not coming up? A bigger distance value is controlled by the static route. Please refer to https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.1/administration-guide/432685/manual-redundant-vpn-configuration

No, we have to different internet connections, and we want to use primary for users and normal traffic, the secondary to another company site to share local resources

@enrico_l,

 

Did you create a tunnel for WAN2 for sharing resources? 

 

You need to make sure both WAN interfaces appears in the routing table. You can run this command to check "get router info routing-table all".
