Description	This article discusses the Deployment Guide Configuration for FortiGate-VM on OCI in order to reach the internet by port2 to achieve the requirements of the deployment for network production.
Scope	FortiGate-VM.
Solution	Make Sure to follow the Deployment Guide to create the VM-Instance: Once the FortiGate Interfaces are already configured, confirm it is possible to reach the internet by port As a configuration Guide request is needed to reach the internet by port 2, port 1 will be only for management. If the port1 is receiving IP addressing DHCP: By default, there is a default static route that has an administrative distance with a value of 5. So it will run first.  In order to avoid losing the management connection with the FortiGate-M, configure a default route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 with an outgoing interface port2 and change the administrative distance to 5. config static-route     edit 1         set distance 5     end After that, go to interface port1 and change the priority from 1 to 5: config sys interface     edit port1         set priority 5   end
