Dear all.

 

I need your support as today I have faced issue with routing. we have lower distance AD for two static route but higher distance is shwoing best route why. please have a look snapshot and provide your opinion what needs to be done.

 

I want to make best route for two networks which are connected to ISP.

192.168.99.0/28

192.168.100.0/28

as per lower distance above the both route should be consider as a best route. and 192.168.145.0/24 should not be considered as a best route because distance is 50.

Kindly go through this article and find the reason why those two routes are considered as inactive.

    Hi Umesh

    The default route on port10 shows "directly connected". Seems a bit strange for me.

    Do you have a secondary IP configured on port10?

    Can you share the a screenshot of your static routes (Network > Static Routes)?

      Hello @Umesh ,

       

      From the screen attached routes towards port1 and port2 are inactive. Do you have SD-WAN configured ? If yes you can check the SLA performance .Also you can check further information in the article :https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-create-a-static-route-on-FortiGate-from-the/ta-p/274122
