Policy routing enhancements in the reply direction

Policy routing enhancements in the reply direction

When reply traffic enters the FortiGate, and a policy route or SD-WAN rule is configured, the egress interface is chosen as follows.

With auxiliary-session enabled in config system settings:

  • Starting in 6.4.0, the reply traffic will not match any policy routes or SD-WAN rules to determine the egress interface and next hop.
  • Prior to this change, the reply traffic will match policy routes or SD-WAN rules in order to determine the egress interface and next hop.

With auxiliary-session disabled in config system settings:

  • The reply traffic will egress on the original incoming interface.
