Example static route to an internal destination
Figure 12 shows a FortiGate unit where the FDN is located on an external subnet and
the management computer is located on a remote, internal subnet. To reach the FDN,
you need to enter a single default route that points to the upstream router as the next
hop/default gateway. To reach the management computer, you need to enter a single
static route that leads directly to it. This route will point to the internal router as the
next hop. (No route is required for the DNS servers because they are on the same
layer 3 subnet as the FortiGate unit.)
