Configuration overview Transparent mode VPNs<br />

If there are additional routers behind the FortiGate unit (see Figure 29 on page 178) and<br />

the destination IP address of an inbound packet is on a network behind one of those<br />

routers, the FortiGate routing table must include routes to those networks. For example,<br />

in Figure 29, the FortiGate unit must be configured with static routes to interfaces A and<br />

B in order to forward packets to Network_1 and Network_2 respectively.<br />

Transparent VPN infrastructure requirements<br />

The local FortiGate unit must be operating in transparent mode.<br />

The management IP address of the local FortiGate unit specifies the local VPN<br />

gateway. The management IP address is considered a static IP address for the local<br />

VPN peer.<br />

If the local FortiGate unit is managed through the Internet, or if the VPN peer connects<br />

through the Internet, the edge router must be configured to perform inbound NAT and<br />

forward management traffic and/or encrypted packets to the FortiGate unit.<br />

If the remote peer is operating in NAT mode, it must have a static public IP address.<br />

A FortiGate unit operating in transparent mode requires the following basic configuration<br />

to operate as a node on the IP network:<br />

The unit must have sufficient routing information to reach the management station.<br />

For any traffic to reach external destinations, a default static route to an edge router<br />

that forwards packets to the Internet must be present in the FortiGate routing table.<br />

When all of the destinations are located on the external network, the FortiGate unit<br />

may route packets using a single default static route. If the network topology is more<br />

complex, one or more static routes in addition to the default static route may be<br />

required in the FortiGate routing table.<br />

Only policy-based VPN configurations are possible in transparent mode.<br />
