Load balancer routes

Load balancer routes

If your FortiGate is accepting connections via a load balancer (LB), you must additionally configure routes to the health probes' IP ranges on each interface receiving traffic. This prevents the reverse path forwarding check from blocking the health probes. The IP ranges are different for different LB types. Google documents the ranges. For the internal LB, the ranges are 35.191.0.0/16 and 130.211.0.0/22.

The 0.0.0.0/0 route on the external interface covers the ranges that the external network LB uses.
