Hi. Is it possible to view traffic log from internal device to another internal device (for example RDP connection). Currently I am not able to view any traffic from lan to lan. Appreciate your knowledge and information. Thank you.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your question. Do you mean if you can view logs for traffic from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.50 for example (FortiGate is 192.168.0.1)? If this is the scenario then no. If traffic is not passing through FortiGate, there is no way how to log it.

Hey,

 

traffic will be logged when it is passing a policy. If you hit the virtual or hardware switch, that would not need a firewall policy.

You can additionally check what you can get for logging options on the log section (settings).

 

Best regards,

Hi mhrth, 

 

If the devices are connected and reachability is not through Fortigate, then the firewall would not be aware of the connection and would not log the traffic. 

 

What is the topology here?
