Examine routing table contents
The first place to look for information is the routing table.
The routing table is where all the currently used routes are stored for both static and dynamic protocols. If a route is in the routing table, it saves the time and resources of a lookup. If a route isn’t used for a while and a new route needs to be added, the oldest least used route is bumped if the routing table is full. This ensures the most recently used routes stay in the table. Note that if your FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, you are unable to perform this step.
If the FortiGate is running in NAT mode, verify that all desired routes are in the routing table: local subnets, default routes, specific static routes, and dynamic routing protocols.
To check the routing table in the web-based manager, use the Routing Monitor — go to Router > Monitor > Routing Monitor. In the CLI, use the command get router info routing-table all.
