Inter-VLAN routing issues - FortiGate

Hello everyone,

 

Before implementing the following configuration in production I'm testing it out in GNS3 and I'm facing issues with Inter-VLAN routing. I have configured FortiGate to act as router-on-a-stick.

 

  1. I have created VLAN 100 and VLAN 200 on the switch and allowed it over the trunk interface that is connected to the FortiGate. Configured the ports connecting the end devices as access ports.
  2. Created same VLANs on the FortiGate and attached it to the interfaces that is connected to the switch.
  3. Created the required Firewall polices, VLAN 100 -> VLAN 200 and VLAN 200 -> VLAN 100.
  4. From device in VLAN 100, I'm able to ping the VLAN 100 SVI IP address and the SVI IP address on VLAN 200. But unable to reach the other device in VLAN 200 and vice-versa.
  5. Packet sniffer on FortiGate shows that It is receiving the packet on VLAN 100 interface but it is not sending it out of VLAN 200 interface. 

Please, find the attached images for the reference. I believe I'm not missing anything here. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you

 

 

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 

 

Hey everyone,

 

This is important I guess,

 

I just replaced the new FortiGate running FortiOS 7.2 with ForiOS 6.4.9. And, Inter-VLAN routing is happening now without any problem.

 

I have same configuration in place like the one that I had earlier.

 

Is this a bug or anything in 7.2 release? Can the Fortinet staff confirm this please?

 

Please find my updated screenshots:

Hi Chethan,

 

I tested this on a 7.2 device and it is found to work, so issue should be local to your environment only.

Hello,

 

It was a virtual environment and I believed the issue is to local to my system. 

It is working fine with a physical FortiGate.

 

What firmware are you currently running?

 

Thank you.
