Description This article describes that the destination server end always shows the source client's IP as FortiGate Transparent VDOM's mgmt IP, it should see the source host IP address in the transparent network topology (same subnet on ingress and egress network).
Scope FortiGate v7.2.
Solution

Network topology in FortiGate Transparent mode:

Source IP :163.27.3.39

Destination IP: 34.83.44.187

 

163.27.3.39 - x3(163.27.3.0) - FortiGate (Transparent mode) - x4(163.27.3.0) - 34.83.44.187 

 

Investigate the session details by the commands below:

 

diagnose sys session filter dst 34.83.44.187  <-----  destination IP address.

diagnose sys session filter src 163.27.3.39     <----- Source IP address.

diagnose sys session list
