Description

This article describes how to port forward traffic if the host is behind a VDOM without Internet Access.


Scope

FortiGate 5.2, FortiGate 5.4, FortiGate 5.6 - Single NAT


Solution

This article assumes that the inter-vdom link and policies have already been configured and that the host behind VDOM-A can reach the Internet.

VIP object: 192.168.13.24 mapping to 192.168.25.2

Policy from wan to Inter-vdom link:

Additional Step: Add a Static Route for the inter-vdom link (root-VDOMA0) to the Mapped IP here, 192.168.25.2. It is possible to leave the gateway as 0.0.0.0 or set it as the IP of the inter-vdom link (root-VDOMA1).

Policy configuration on VDOM-A:

Additional Step: Add a Static Route for the inter-vdom link (root-VDOMA1) to 0.0.0.0. It is possible to leave the gateway as 0.0.0.0 or set it as the IP of the inter-vdom link (root-VDOMA0).
