| Description | The article describes a solution for the following scenario: FGT external IP [ INTERNAL SERVER ]===[ FortiGate ]==={ Internet } Other external IP The requirement is that all traffic from the Server to the Internet uses a different source IP than the FortiGate public IP. In this case, one or more public (external) IP addresses have been provided by the ISP, and the solution is based on IP Pool. |
| Scope | FortiGate |
| Solution |
Example: The following addresses are used in this example:
CLI Configuration:
config system interface config firewall ippool config firewall policy Verification with a sniffer trace (on HTTP traffic for example). FGT # diagnose sniffer packet any "port 80" 4 The output shows that the traffic egressing through port1 is sourced with the IP address defined the IP Pool and Firewall Policy. |
