Configuring the routing table
The routing table shows the destination IP address and mask of each route that you
add, as well as the gateways and devices added to the route. The routing table also
displays the gateway connection status. A green check mark indicates that the
FortiGate unit has used the ping server and dead gateway detection to determine that
it can connect to the gateway. A red X means that a connection cannot be established.
A blue question mark means that the connection status is unknown. For more
information, see
“Adding a ping server to an interface” on page 146 .
The FortiGate unit assigns routes using a best match algorithm based on the
destination address of the packet and the destination address of the route. To select a
route for a packet, the FortiGate unit searches the routing table for a route that best
matches the destination address of the packet. If a match is not found, the FortiGate
unit routes the packet using the default route.
To configure the routing table
1 Go to System > Network > Routing Table.
2 Choose the route that you want to move and select Move to to change its order in
the routing table.
3 Type a number in the Move to field to specify where in the routing table to move the
route and select OK.
4 Select Delete to delete a route from the routing table.
