Hi
I have a strange problem which I could not understand what exactly cause this issue I have a Fortinet 90D Firewall and I have 2 ISP connections for redundancy ISP 1 is connected to WAN1 and ISP 2 is connected to Internal Port 14 I have done all the static routes and Policies settings right but here is still a problem, in the internal VLAN I have 3 servers:
server 1 and 3 have access to internet through WAN1 but not through Internal port 14
server 2 has access to internet through Internal Port 14 but not through WAN1
All the settings for all servers have been done the same can you please help me how I can fix this issue to give access to all the servers through both interfaces.

hi,
and welcome to the forums.
It seems you are using 2 default routes with the same distance and priority, one for wan1 and one for port14. The FGT will now send traffic from even source addresses through one WAN port and that from odd source addresses through the other. This is called ECMP (equal cost, multiple paths).
If you only want to set up port14 as a backup link (and not for load sharing) then increase the route priority for the secondary default route. You can only do this in the CLI:
config route static
edit 2
set priority 200
next
end You may need to adapt your actual setup like the route #. Keep the distance parameter equal to be able to see both routes in the Routing Monitor.
