I setup two Fortigate 60E's to connect over an elan circuit. the interfaces are hardware switches
DR_ELAN - ELAN2\ip 192.168.50.3/24
HQ_ELAN - ELAN2\192.168.50.1/24.
I connected them both and they both show up\full 1000, bit I cannot ping or traceroute or anything
Traceroute:
DR_ELAN--> execute traceroute 192.168.50.1
DR_ELAN # execute traceroute 192.168.50.1
traceroute to 192.168.50.1 (192.168.50.1), 32 hops max, 3 probe packets per hop, 72 byte packets
1 127.0.0.1 <localhost> 2998.414 ms !H 2995.406 ms !H 2999.901 ms !H
HQ_ELAN --> execute traceroute 192.168.50.3
HQ_ELAN # execute traceroute 192.168.50.3
traceroute to 192.168.50.3 (192.168.50.3), 32 hops max, 3 probe packets per hop, 72 byte packets

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
Thank you in advance
Hm !H in the output of traceroute means "Host unreachable". So probably you have some routing issues?
Maybe a diag debug flow might provide additional info...

How did you configure the interface ELAN2? Can you show the config part (text)?
Do you have each site on a different VLAN, or one big VLAN for all sites?
If your ELAN is VLAN based then this would have to be set up in the interface.
