I have created a two IPSec tunnel for two ISPs between FGT1 and FGT2 as Site to tunnel with SDWAN Enabled.
Both Tunnels are added as members in SDWAN zone. Static route is configured with the remote site networks in both the sites. In bound and outbound policy from LAN to SDWAN zones and vice versa is in place in both FortiGates. Have place LAN PCs behind both the FGTs
Ping is working from FGT2 LAN PC to FGT1 LAN PC. But vice versa(FGT1 LAN PC --> FGT2 LAN PC) is not working where as if I use ping from FortiGate using execute ping-options source <LAN interface IP> it is reaching remote site.
Phase1 and Phase2 are up for the tunnel in both the fortigates.
Topology
LAN PC[192.168.170.20]--FGT1 ------------------FGT2 ----------------LAN PC[192.168.160.20]
ping 192.168.160.20 ---> 192.168.170.20 -Working
ping 192.168.170.20 ---> 192.168.160.202 - Not Working
Same If I try through performance SLA in FGT is working. Can you help me why ping from FGT1 PC to FGT2 PC is not working.

Hi,
Can you start a debug on FGT2 with destination 192.168.160.202, while pinging with source 192.168.170.20 and see if the packets are reaching the other side?
diag debug ena
diag debug flow filter saddr 192.168.170.20
diag debug flow filter daddr 192.168.160.202
diag debug flow trace start 100
diag debug disable
When you initiate a ping from fortigate it is local traffic and doesn't follow sd-wan rules or policy. It will use static routing preferences. Sd-wan rules are nothing but policy routes. Make sure the correct sequence is applied to the rules. The tunnel rule should be above the generic rule. Ensure no policy route is configured for this traffic under network--policy route
verify routing --- get router info routing-table details <destination ip>
in the sdwan sla -- define the source IP
config system sdwan
config health-check
edit <name> <----- Health Check name.
set source <IP address> <----- source-IP to be used for the health check.
end
And then verify the debugs
