Dear All,

I am using FGT400E and I am facing issue with an application named "Tally" which is used for accounting purpose. This application server is installed on a server with IP : 192.168.1.2/24 Port 9999 and working fine in the same network [VLAN 1]. But if i want to shift this server in DMZ with different IP : 195.195.61.2/28 [VLAN 61] and want to access it through IP : 192.168.1.x/24 [VLAN 1] it can't be accessible with the error "Client system is not directly connected to the same LAN where license server is connected. License server cannot serve the license for this client." I researched the application licensing model and find that the application server used the broadcast domain for licensing which is UDP. Do i need a separate cisco router to extend the lan and use ip helper-address ? Please help me to get this connected through fortigate only as i want to use it through other vlan and vpn also.

The quick and dirty answer would be to create a policy from that new subnet just to the server, and enable NAT on the policy. This will force connecting traffic to use the IP interface of the Fortigate which is on the same IP subnet as the server. Place this policy above any others between the two subnets. Policies are used in a top-down first come, first served basis. Best practice is to place the more concise policies at the top and the general ones at the bottom.

Hi, It works. SSL vpn is also an alternate way, just need to assign the same ip range 192.168.1.10-20 for SSL VPN IP Pool and it works too (Now it works globally).
