Question

Policy not directing web traffic to WAN2

There's a good chance that I'm going about this the wrong way, but it feels like I'm close to the solution.

 

I have a 60D running FortiOS 5.4. WAN1 is connected to my modem router and WAN2 is connected to a VPN router, which is connected to the Modem Router.

 

Both interfaces are configured identically other than the IP Address.

 

There's then two IPV4 policies

[ul]
  • Policy ID #1, Seq #2 is a catch all for all internal traffic to go to WAN1. 
  • Policy ID #9, Seq #1 has anything incoming from internal with the source of a named address to go out on WAN2[/ul]

    However, the named address is still going out on WAN1, although I can access the VPN router connected to WAN2. If I change Policy ID #9 to deny and WAN1 then internet access is denied to that box. 

     

    What have I missed?

    Did you try creating a policy route for the named source? Here you can define the incoming interface, source, outgoing interface, destination and various protocol options. This should do the trick.

    I've created a policy route with:

    Protocol: Any

    Incoming Interface: internal

    Source addres/mask: 192.168.3.23/255.255.255.255

    Destination address/mask: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

    Action: Forward Tradffic

    Outgoing interface: Wan2

    Gateway address: 0.0.0.0

     

    Still going through WAN1 :\

    Policy routes take precedence over static. You should have a static default route set and use a policy route where necessary. Looks like you are missing the gateway. Set this to the WAN2 interface next hop (ISP router address).
