Question

multiwan navigation divided into groups

I have configured two WANs on my fortigate 100F.

I wrote two routes to the 0.0.0.0/0 network with the same weight and priority.

one that points to wan1 and one that points to wan2.

and I would like to ensure that the PCs in group 1 navigate with wan1 and those in group 2 with wan2. what should I configure??

if I write two policies to DOC only one works.

You can setup policy route to route specific traffic via specific wan interface

Hi @matteocostanzo ,

 

How do you divide the PCs into two groups? Based on IPs or Users or something else?

 

Please share this info first.

 

If they are based on IPs, you may use the Policy Route:

If they are based on Users or MAC addresses, I don't think we can do it.

BTW, it's called AD (Administrative Distance), not Weight.
