Description
This article describes how to configure VXLAN on FortiGate behind NAT device.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
FortiGate 2 is behind NAT in the diagram below; inbound VXLAN traffic over VPN tunnel will be dropped on FortiGate 2 behind NAT without the following configurations.
PC1(.1) – 192.168.100.0/24 - port2-[ FG1 ]-port1-(198.51.100.1) ====
I
(Internet) I VxLAN-over-IPsec tunnel
I
PC2(.2) - 192.168.100.0/24 - port2-[ FG2 ]-port1-(10.0.0.1)-[ NAT ]=(203.0.113.2)
FortiGate 2:
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
edit "VxLan-IPsec"
set interface "port1"
set proposal aes128-sha1
set encapsulation vxlan
set encapsulation-address ipv4
set encap-local-gw4 203.0.113.2 (Address after NAT)
set encap-remote-gw4 198.51.100.1
set remote-gw 198.51.100.1
set psksecret someSecureKey
next
end
For SSL traffic not loading over IPsec over VXLAN, policy MTU should be adjusted as per the traffic:
config system interface
edit <interface>
set mtu-override enable
set mtu 1340
next
end
