How to set wan ip to always uses wan1 ip address

[JimmyKhern]

Hi All,

I have dual wan setup on my fortigate. Is there a way to set the "WAN IP" in the system information that always uses wan1 or wan2 ip? Thanks

regards

Jimmy

Hi @JimmyKhern 

Could you please show the outputs of this command?

# get router info routing-table all

You don't have to show all if the table is really long.  I just need the info with the default routes.

Hi @JimmyKhern ,

Your two default routes have the same distance and the same priority.

If you do not want to change the priority, you may try the following:

config system fortiguard

set source-ip x.x.x.x  // This is your wan1 interface IP

end

Hi JimmyKhern,

There is, you just need to change the priority of one of the defaults routes. The article: Technical Note : Setting priority on static default routes to create a primary (preferred) and a sec... explain how to do that.
