Adding a default route

Add a default route to configure where the FortiGate unit sends traffic destined for
an external network (usually the Internet). Adding the default route also defines
which interface is connected to an external network. The default route is not
required if the interface connected to the external network is configured using
DHCP or PPPoE.
To add a default route
Go to Router > Static.
If the Static Route table contains a default route (IP and Mask set to 0.0.0.0),
select the Delete icon to delete this route.
Select Create New.
Enter the Destination IP and netmask.
