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 142.
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.
