Missing static route

I have a Fortigate 60D configured with dual ISPs. The goal is to set up basic redundant links (simple active/passive failover). WAN1 is a cable connection with a static IP address WAN2 is a DSL PPPoE I' ve unchecked " Retrieve default Gateway from server" on both interfaces and manually configured static routes: config router static edit 1 set device " wan1" set distance 20 set gateway 109.172.92.1 set priority 10 next edit 2 set device " wan2" set distance 20 set gateway 66.158.128.24 set priority 20 next end The problem is that the Gateway for WAN2 doesn' t show up in the routing table: S* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] via 109.172.92.1, wan1, [10/0] C 10.10.50.0/24 is directly connected, internal C 66.158.128.24/32 is directly connected, ppp1 C 72.10.130.180/32 is directly connected, ppp1 C 109.172.92.0/24 is directly connected, wan1

I' m pretty sure you will only see both routes if the priorities and distances are equal.

According to the docs, only distances have to be the same. EDIT: Tried setting same priority on both interfaces but still no change.

Perhaps the DHCP interface cannot have a static route? Edit***** I' m thinking that the pppoe network connection is handled differently, but don' t ask me for written proof.

You put me on the right track rwpatterson! With the PPPoE, it seems that the Fortigate takes its " distance" parameter from the " interface" screen in the GUI (which is at 5 by default). I set my WAN1 distance to 5 (it was already set to 5 in the " interface" screen, but to 20 in the " route" screen) and I' ve got both now. Thanks for the help.
