Redirect Fortigate traffic into tunnel

Hello,

Two Fortigate are linked by an IPSec Tunnel. LAN traffic passes well through the tunnel, but the fortigate cannot communicate with a syslog server located on the other site. How to specify to sent this local traffic into the tunnel ?

Hi Eric

Check phase 2 selector if it includes the FG sending IP address as well as syslog server address.

After that check with diag sniffer command on both FG nodes if the syslog traffic is correctly flowing through the tunnel.

Hi @EricS,

 

To connect to a syslog server over IPsec tunnel, you need to specify the source-ip. Please refer to https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Syslog-server-over-IPSEC-VPN-and-sending-V...

Thanks for your fast answer. The phase 2 contains the site LAN Subnet and the SSLVPN subnet.

I launched the sniffer, the traffic is sent from the public IP.

 

9.270438 8x.xxx.xxx.x3.24957 -> 192.168.xxx.20.514: udp 941

Instead of adding public IP, specify the private source IP as shared by @hbac
