Question

Redundant Internet without Load-Balancing or Link Aggregration

Hi all,

 

Right now we have HA Fortigate connected to 2 ISPs. We use ISP1 for servers' connection and ISP2 for users (web browsing, email and stuff), so we don't bundle the interfaces for redundancy. We have 2 static routes for 2 ISPs and 2 policies for each ISP to connect to the internet, but in case of ISP2 goes down, we want ISP1 to handle the internet connection for users and vice versa. I read the documentation but couldn't find how to achieve this.

 

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards.

    First make sure Advanced Routing is enabled

    Go to System > Config > Features and make sure Advanced Routing is set to On

     

    Go to Router > Static > Settings and create 2 Link Health Monitors

    Select wan1/wan2, enable health check (ping a server like 8.8.8.8 or your gateway) and enable Update Routing Table when Gateway Detection Status Changes
