FortIoS 6.2.4 - SD-WAN Rules for self-originating traffic

Hi, we are having issues with DHCP Relay configured on FortiGate Firewall wish SD-WAN interface. We need to apply SD-WAN rules for DHCP relay traffic which is originated from Firewall using LAN interface IP but since 6.2.2, self-originating traffic does not match SD-WAN rules according to this document:

Is there any way to force the FortiGate to apply SD-WAN rules for self-originating traffic? Thanks.

 

EDIT: Just to clarify, the issues we are having related to DHCP Relay are about DHCP request being sent through a different interface than we need (we are trying to force this traffic to go out through an interface with worse cost in SD-WAN virtual link) but the rule is not being applied for this traffic. So the issue is not really related to DHCP relay but SD-WAN rules not being applied to local traffic.

Did you set the relay ip under the interface from cli?

 

config sys interface

   edit port1

      # interface that you are relaying from

      set dhcp-relay ip x.x.x.x

 

end

Hi, I did it from GUI but the result is the same:

 

config system interface edit "port1" set vdom "root" set dhcp-relay-service enable set ip 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 set type physical set alias "LAN" set snmp-index 1 set dhcp-relay-ip "10.10.20.4"

 

The thing is that I need that the traffic originated from 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.20.4 match a SD-WAN rule I have created for this traffic but this does not work. I think it is due to this change:

Thanks for answer.

Self originating traffic should never match a SDWAN rule from my understanding. Why would you want that?

Hi amorales,

I solved a similar problem when implementing SD-WAN last year in version 6.2.3 - self originated traffic from FGT (DNS, FortiGuard, etc.) I received a statement from the TAC:

 

Hello,

we finally find it. Now it works properly.

We deleted default route to sd-wan and add subnets according to RFC 1918

 

All manuals and KB state that the default route is set to the SD-WAN interface - but in this case this is probably not entirely true.

So instead of one default route to SD-WAN, I have set up two with the same distance and added static routes to LAN subnets at branches:
