Routing Issue on FortiGate 7.2.8

Hi,

I'm simulating FortiGate 7.2.8 in PNet and I found an issue with forwarding packet or maybe routing issue.

The topology as attached below

Topology.jpg

 

 

The R7 and R8 are able to ping the IP in FortiGate interface.

R7#ping 20.20.20.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 20.20.20.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/2 ms
R7#ping 10.10.10.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/5 ms

 

R8#ping 10.10.10.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
R8#ping 20.20.20.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 20.20.20.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
Router#

 

But whenever the R7 ping to R8 or vice versa, the ping is RTO.

R8#ping 20.20.20.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 20.20.20.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

 

In FortiGate, the firewall policy already configured

config firewall policy
    edit 1
        set srcintf "any"
        set dstintf "any"
        set action accept
        set srcaddr "all"
        set dstaddr "all"
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
end

 

config system interface
    edit "port1"
        set vdom "root"
        set ip 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.240
        set allowaccess ping
        set type physical
        set snmp-index 1
    next
    edit "port2"
        set vdom "root"
        set ip 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.240
        set allowaccess ping
        set type physical
        set snmp-index 2
    next
end

 

Since the network is directly connected on FortiGate, I believe that I don't need to specify any static route.

Is there anything missing from FortiGate configuration?

Any suggestion?

Hello @arie_arie ,

 

It seems your FortiGate configuration is correct. 

 

In my opinion, R7 and R8 ip's not pingable. Can you try to ping from FortiGate to Router?

 

execute ping 20.20.20.2
execute ping 10.10.10.1

If you have found a solution, please like and accept it to make it easily accessible to others.

Hi,

It's replied. Also I have configured default route on both routers.

Hi Arie

Indeed it is strange.

In my lab (lower FOS release) same scenario as yours gives this log:

id=20085 trace_id=10 func=vf_ip_route_input_common line=2581 msg="find a route: flag=04000000 gw-10.20.0.5 via port2"

...

It seems your FG stops at the first line ("find a route") and recreates a new session every ping packet.

Another detail is I'm not sure if the gw-0.0.0.0 is normal in your log.

id=65308 trace_id=1 func=__vf_ip_route_input_rcu line=1990 msg="find a route: flag=00000000 gw-0.0.0.0 via port1"

Do you have any configured VIP?

Hi,

 

No, I don't configure any VIP.

Btw, in version 7.2 does it need purchased license on FortiGate so that the FGT can forward the traffic? I just random thought.

I haven't tried on lower version yet, will be try later.

 

Thanks

Hi, 

I just tried on lower version and the ping is success between routers. Here is the version that success, with same configuration as before.

I don't know why the version 7.2.8 can't forward the packet. Maybe because of invalid license?

Hello @arie_arie ,

 

It definitely seems to be related to licensing status.

Probably due to this:

FortiOS 7.2.1 introduces a new permanent trial license, which requires a FortiCare account. This trial license has limited features and capacity. See VM permanent trial license for details.
