I have a FortiGate 100e device in which I have taken out one LAN port and set WAN role on it. I have assigned a /30 subnet IP address to the port. The port is up and I can PING it from other zones. However, I cannot PING the remote IP address of the /30 subnet. Execute traceroute shows the only hop as 127.0.0.1. I have deployed ANY-ANY policy from LAN to the above interface but PING from LAN workstation to remote /30 IP address gets DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE reply from firewall. I am at my wit's end. Please help.

is the remote IP address in the arp table?
get sys arp
is the IP 127.0.0.1 configured on the firewall?
'get sys arp' is not showing the port in question. I ran 'diag sniff packet <port> 4' which is only showing arp requests. No arp replies. But when I connect the cable to a laptop it works. Btw, this is an Internet link with publicly available IP. Is there some problem with FGT ARP request which makes the next-hop ignore the ARP request?
No, 127.0.0.1 is not configured on the FGT. Firmware version is v5.6.4

there might be if the configuration isnt correct
if you connect a laptop you say it works, you connect the laptop to the same interface on the internet modem / router?
do you configure an IP on the laptop or use DHCP?
what is the one LAN port configuration?
can you share some of the arp request sniffer output?
also please upgrade, 5.6 is not supported any more. not going to fix this, but just a good idea.
Yes I'm connecting the same cable and assigning the same IP (x.y.z.189/30) manually on the FGT-100E and laptop. The LAN port members were port1 to port16 initially. I took out port15 and port16 to assign WAN role.

Next-hop IP is x.y.z.190/30 . I have tried commands like 'set arpforward enable' and 'set l2forward enable' to no avail. WAN1 and WAN2 ports are working fine.

I have another ISP link on port15 and it is having the same issue.
you seem to be sending out or receiving LACP traffic on port16, is port16 part of a link aggregate? or is the ISP router doing LACP? please turn that off for now.
also be sure you turn everything back to default which you have been changing, in the end it might not work because of all the non standard settings.
No, I haven't configured port16 as member of any aggregate. I can't do anything about the ISP end config but given that it works on laptop it shouldn't be an issue.
After testing various configurations I always revert to the default/standard state.
I feel that somehow it has got to do with the fact that port16 was extracted from LAN group. That was the time when it was part of any aggregate. I read that FortiOS v5.4 onwards the internal-switch-mode is 'interface' by default so I just had to de-member it from LAN group. The device is suffering from some kind of 'LAN hangover' if I may put it that way. I have tried rebooting the device also. Nothing works.

lets try to get the exact setup right because you talk about port16, but also mention port15, share the config on wan1 and you arp requests show lan in arp who-has 10.11.50.10 tell 10.11.50.77 which isnt the subnet for lan at all.
how many interface does the ISP router / modem have? please only connect one form the FortiGate.
are you using the copper or SFP part of port16? do you have a SFP inserted?
keep it simple to start with and don't make changes to default configuration. just wondering are you able to factory reset this FortiGate and start over?
parallel to that, please try this, connect port16 to the ISP router / modem.

thanks for all the output, i don't see anything what looks wrong except these:

you should not see LACPDU on a non link aggregate interface. the fact that it works on the laptop surprises me but perhaps something is configured for it or it auto reacts in a way the ISP router / modem likes better.
the ISP router / modem doesn't have another interface to use?
can you request the ISP to provide an interface on the device without LACP?
if you want to and have the time you could create a link aggregate on the FortiGate, make port16 a member of it and see if that gets a working situation. that does require removing the IP from port16, removing the firewall policy and the route. then putting them back on the link aggregate.
