Description | This article describes how to fix an issue where traffic fails when 'set inbandwidth' or 'set outbandwidth' is configured on the interface. |
Scope | FortiOS 7.0.11 and above, 7.2.6 and above, 7.4, 7.6, NP7. |
Solution |
This issue only affects NP7 models. Check the model of the FortiGate and confirm if it uses an NP7 processor or not.

Running a sniffer in this case shows that ARP requests are reaching the FortiGate: an ARP reply is seen with an NPU sniffer as well, but the traffic still fails. The ARP reply fails to make it to the FortiGate, causing ARP to fail.
This is a known issue that was identified and documented under bug ID 901621. See the FortiOS v7.2.6 release notes and FortiOS v7.6.0 release notes.
Either of these two workarounds can help resolve the issue.
