DHCP request failed after inserting Fortigate (Transparent Mode)

Hi Guys,

 

As per subject above, does dhcp broadcast is blocked by fortigate?.

Based on Fortigate KB, transparent mode will not change or interrupt existing network configuration.

 

Static IP is required in order  for client behind Fortigate to access internet, appreciate if someone can clarify or guide recommended setting for Transparent mode. Thanks

 

Testing Configuration/ Enviroment:

ADLS Modem (DHCP Enable) -> Fortigate (Transparent Mode) -> Notebook

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue with a 60E in transparent mode. I've got a Virtual Wire Pair setup.

 

I've set the broadcast forward to enable on both the interfaces and still doesn't issue DHCP.

 

Is someone able to help me?

 

Thanks
