Outgoing Interface Select the name of the interface through which packets affected by
the policy will be routed.
Gateway Address Type the IP address of the next-hop router that the FortiGate unit can
access through the specified interface. A value of 0.0.0.0 is not
valid.
A routing policy is added to the bottom of the routing table when it is created. If
you want one policy to be used in preference to another, you may want to move it
to a different location in the routing policy table.
The option to use one of two routes happens when both routes are a match, say
172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0 and 172.20.120.0/255.255.255.0. If both of these routes
are in the policy table, both can match a route to 172.20.120.112 but the second
one is a better match. In that case the best match route should be positioned
before the other route in the policy table.
Using the CLI, you can assign priorities to routes. In the case of two matches in
the routing table, the priority will determine which route is used. This feature is
only available through the CLI.
