Description This article describes how to troubleshoot traffic denied by an implicit policy when threat ID 131072 appears on the logs.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

The traffic is being denied by policy 0, particularly if it is hitting with LAN to WAN Policy. Verify with the Forward traffic logs if threat ID 131072' is high 30; verify any IP pool configured on the Firewall Policy.

On the Firewall Policy, verify any Dynamic SNAT configured and follow the action plan below:

  1. Change from Use Dynamic IP Pool to Use outgoing Interface Address, and verify the traffic flow.
  2. Do NAT Overload. The range that does not match the Dynamic SNAT Pool; it should work with overload. If the NAT pool gets exhausted with overload again, check with PAT.

Once the IP Pool configuration is changed or set with the correct NAT overload range, the traffic will pass through via the same Policy ID.

In case of multiple outgoing interfaces are referred in firewall policy(SD-WAN) use associate interface under IPPOOL configuration.

So it uses the SNAT from associated interface POOL only.
