Source address option related to an interface and not to specific IP

[virtualj]

Hi to all,

it should be so usefull if instead of source-ip option we can use source-intf. For big installation with many branch the source-ip is always different and is not scriptable, but it is assigned always to the same interface. For example:

config log fortianalyzer setting

set source-ip port1

end

config system dns

set source-ip wan1

end

config system ntp

set source-ip loopback

end

The source-ip option is very usefull when you have VPN and the fortigate do not choose the correct source-ip to start the connections.

I agree being able to specify an interface instead of an ip would be very useful and more flexible.  One of the few things I miss from working with ZyXEL gear.

I would contact your SE or sales rep to pass this on as a feature request.
