Network interfaces and routes

Azure DHCP preconfigures the interfaces as shown.

Additionally, there are also two static routes:

  • Azure uses the 168.63.129.16 address for various services. Having this route in place allows the FortiGate-VM to respond.
  • There is also a route out port2 (also the trusted/internal interface) with the VNET prefix as the destination. This provides a route to any additional subnets that may be created.

In the routing monitor, there are connected routes to the two subnets and a default route out port1 (the untrusted/public interface). Azure DHCP also provides this default route.

The "InsideSubnet-routes..." route table forces Internet-bound traffic to egress through the FortiGate port2 interface. If other subnets are created, add this route table to those subnets to provide the same egress filtering.
