Note: Any 2 routes in the routing table must differ by something other than just the gateway to
be simultaneously active. If two routes added to the routing table are identical except for their
gateway IP addresses, only the route closer to the top of the routing table can be active.
Note: Arrange routes in the routing table from more specific to more general. To arrange routes
in the routing table, see
Use the following procedure to add routes when operating the FortiGate unit in
Transparent mode.
1 Go to System > Network > Routing.
2 Select New to add a new route.
3 Enter the Destination IP address and Netmask for the route.
4 Enter the Gateway IP address for the route.
5 Select OK to save the new route.
6 Repeat these steps to add more routes as required.
The routing table shows the destination IP address and mask of each route you add
as well as the gateways and devices added to the route. The routing table also
displays the gateway connection status. A green check mark indicates that the
FortiGate unit has used the ping server and dead gateway detection to determine that
it can connect to the gateway; a red X means that a connection cannot be established.
A blue question mark means that the connection status is unknown. For more
information, see
The FortiGate unit assigns routes by searching for a match starting at the top of the
routing table and moving down until it finds the first match. You must arrange routes in
the routing table from more specific to more general. The default route is the most
general route. If you add a default route, it should be at the bottom of the routing table.
1 Go to System > Network > Routing Table.
