Using policy routing you can configure the FortiGate unit to route packets based on:

Source address

Protocol, service type, or port range

Incoming or source interface

The FortiGate unit starts at the top of the policy routing list and attempts to match the packet with a policy. The policy route supplies the next hop gateway as well as the FortiGate interface to be used by the traffic.
