Hi All,

 

I have dual wan setup on my fortigate. Is there a way to set the "WAN IP" in the system information that always uses wan1 or wan2 ip? Thanks

 

regards

Jimmy

Hi JimmyKhern,

 

There is, you just need to change the priority of one of the defaults routes. The article: Technical Note : Setting priority on static default routes to create a primary (preferred) and a secondary path explain how to do that.

Hi @JimmyKhern 

 

Could you please show the outputs of this command?

 

# get router info routing-table all

 

You don't have to show all if the table is really long.  I just need the info with the default routes.

Routing table for VRF=0

Hi @JimmyKhern ,

 

Your two default routes have the same distance and the same priority.

 

If you do not want to change the priority, you may try the following:

 

config system fortiguard

set source-ip x.x.x.x  // This is your wan1 interface IP

end
