Hi

We want to setup site to site vpn between our fgt(200f) and our branch fgt (200e) . Hq fgt version is 7.6 and branch version is 6. We want to connect to only one server from branch and they will connect to one of servers too. In HQ, we have subnet overlapping when i want to insert remote ip but on the branch side they do not have any overlapping problem. How can i solve that?

Hi Rezafathi
Both are same

Its a documentation from the Firmware Release Notes:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.0/administration-guide/426761/site-to-site-vpn-with-overlapping-subnets

It's a KB articles was created by one of Technical Engineer, and tested in our environment

Hi Rezafathi

Follow the kb articles:

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-configure-an-IPsec-tunnel-with-Overlapping/ta-p/242267

Inbound traffic and outband traffic with VIP configuration they have enable NAT  on the Kb articles:


In the Documentation there is not VIP mentioned on the Policy, so it's not added.

Why there is no ip pool configured in kb? Also vip is mentioned on other document.
