Hi All,
I pretty new to Fortigate, so appreciate all the advise i can get.
I have a setup whereby i' ll need to route traffic to a different route if the WAN link is down.
WAN----FortiGate---Internal Network
So all traffic for 172.0.0.0/8 will be routed to the WAN route.
IF the WAN router MPLS fails, i' ll need the FortiGate to route the traffic back to the Internal Network, where it will take another route out.
This is what i came up with:
IP/Mask Gateway Device Distance Dead Gateway
172.0.0.0/8 MPLS router VRRP IP Port 1 (outside) 5 WAN Router MPLS IP
172.0.0.0/8 Internal Network IP Port 2 (inside) 10 n/a
So all 172.0.0.0/8 traffic route to MPLS router VRRP IP with distance of 5 till the dead gateway (WAN Router MPLS IP) is unreachable, then it route to Internal Network IP.
But then when the dead gateway (WAN Router MPLS IP) is reachable back, all 172.0.0.0/8 traffic will route back to the MPLS router VRRP IP.
Will this work, or is there any other better way to do it.
Thanks,
Subash
