Figure 99: Making a router the default gateway
To route outbound packets from the internal network to destinations that are not
on network 192.168.20.0/24, you would edit the default route and include the
following settings:
• Destination IP/mask: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
• Gateway: 192.168.10.1
• Device: Name of the interface connected to network 192.168.10.0/24
(for example, external).
• Distance: 10
The Gateway setting specifies the IP address of the next hop router interface to
the FortiGate external interface. The interface behind the router (192.168.10.1) is
the default gateway for FortiGate_1.
In some cases, there may be routers behind the FortiGate unit. If the destination
IP address of a packet is not on the local network but is on a network behind one
of those routers, the FortiGate routing table must include a static route to that
network. For example, in Figure 100, the FortiGate unit must be configured with
static routes to interfaces 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.11.1 in order to forward
packets to Network_1 and Network_2 respectively.
