GRE tunnel and policy routing (PBR)

Hi,

I'm trying to forward some traffic (PBR) via different interface (GRE Tunnel). When I have a default route via port1 (with better metric) it doesn't work:

 

Local-FortiGate # get router info routing-table all

The PBR is ignored:

When I remove the route via port1:

 

Local-FortiGate # get router info routing-table all

       O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

the PBR works fine:

and traffic is sent via E-LD7 GRE tunnel. Any idea why?

Don't send the distance higher for the 0/0 route into the tunnel. But set it 10 and also set the priority number higher(priority is lower) like 10. Then both show up in the routing-table then your PBR would work.

Much better now:

 

Local-FortiGate # get router info routing-table all

I modified the PBR a bit and only TCP should be matched:

 

config router policy
    edit 1
        set input-device "port3"
        set srcaddr "LOCAL_SUBNET"
        set dstaddr "REMOTE_SUBNET"
        set protocol 6
        set output-device "E-LD7"
    next
end

 

and when I tested it ICMP was sent via port1:

 

id=20085 trace_id=30 func=print_pkt_detail line=5517 msg="vd-root:0 received a packet(proto=1, 10.0.1.10:1->10.0.2.10:2048) from port3. type=8, code=0, id=1, seq=165."

and TCP traffic via GRE:

Thank you!
