Failover & Load
Balance Method
Source based The FortiGate unit load balances sessions among ECMP routes based on the
source IP address of the sessions to be load balanced. This is the default
load balancing method. No configuration changes are required to support
source IP load balancing.
Weighted The FortiGate unit load balances sessions among ECMP routes based on
weights added to ECMP routes. More traffic is directed to routes with higher
weights.
After selecting weight-based you must add weights to static routes. See
"Configuring weighted static route load balancing" on page
Spill-over The FortiGate unit distributes sessions among ECMP routes based on how
busy the FortiGate interfaces added to the routes are.
After selecting spill-over you add route Spillover Thresholds to interfaces
added to ECMP routes. See
balancing" on page
The FortiGate unit sends all ECMP-routed sessions to the lowest numbered
interface until the bandwidth being processed by this interface reaches its
spillover threshold. The FortiGate unit then spills additional sessions over to
the next lowest numbered interface.
For more information, including the order in which interfaces are selected,
see "Configuring spill-over or usage-based ECMP" on page

Route Select the Expand Arrow to display or hide the IPv4 static routes. By default
these routes are displayed.
This is displayed only when IPv6 is enabled in the GUI.
IPv6 Route Select the Expand Arrow to display or hide the IPv6 static routes. By default
these routes are hidden.
This is displayed only when IPv6 is enabled in the GUI.
IP/Mask The destination IP addresses and network masks of packets that the
FortiGate unit intercepts.
Gateway The IP addresses of the next-hop routers to which intercepted packets are
forwarded.
Device The names of the FortiGate interfaces through which intercepted packets are
received and sent.
Distance The administrative distances associated with each route. The values
represent distances to next-hop routers.
