Hi. I am Practicing a simple Lab in which I am using a FortiGate Firewall. The Topology is pasted Below;
I created a policy on firewall to allow ping from local-PC to e0/1 interface of router. I have configured FortiGate interfaces, done static routing on both firewall and on Router. I also created a policy on FortiGate to allow access but still I am unable to ping. What can be the reason??
Yes. After removing 192.168.44.1 gateway I can ping 10.0.1.254 (firewall port3 IP) and 10.200.2.254 (R3's e0/1 IP). However, now i cannot access firewall via GUI.
As you can see in snapshots, I can ping firewall from PC but unable to login into firewall via GUI. I have already executed commads "set allowaccess http https ping" on port3 of firewall
From which IP you cannot connect to FG GUI.
And what you mean by "unable to login via GUI"? Do you mean the login page is not displayed or you have an error message when you enter credentials?
From which IP you cannot connect to FG GUI: 10.0.1.254
And what you mean by "unable to login via GUI"? Do you mean the login page is not displayed or you have an error message when you enter credentials? Login page is displaying but when i enter user name: admin and password:.... and press login button same login page is dispalyed again.

Can you login via console and check if there is any trustedhost config under admin "config system admin"?

I mean from which PC (source) you are trying to connect to FG GUI?
Also please try open the GUI using a private browser window.
I mean from which PS (source) you are trying to connect to FG GUI? 10.0.1.20/24
Also please try open the GUI using a private browser window. Yes i am trying in private browser
This PC is on the same subnet as FortiGate, so it is not a routing issue.
As suggested by @srajeswaran it is probably due to trustedhosts config.
oky Thankyou AEK. much appreciated support. My major problem has been solved. Thankyou again. I will recheck rest of issues.
