Hello,
I use RUT240's with my FortiGate firewalls to provide 4G fallback internet access at remote sites. As the firewall needs direct access to the Internet, I setup the RUT240 in 'Passthrough' mode, with the firewall using DHCP to receive the public IP of the RUT240.
Due to needing a more powerful router, with gigabit ports, I purchased a RUTX09 to use as direct replacement for the RUT240.
Even though I have configured the RUTX09 the same as the RUT240, I cannot get Passthrough to work. The FortiGate never receives an IP from the RUTX09 and eventually times-out. However, If I connect a RUT240 to the same firewall, Passthrough works as expected.
I have factory reset, flashed and tested Passthrough on the RUTX09 with all available version 7 firmwares. In all cases, the result is the same: No DHCP address assigned to the FortiGate.
Looking at the GUI of both firewalls, on the RUT240, a static DHCP reservation called 'passthrough' has been created and a SNAT rule called "Enable_Mobile_Passthrough" is also added. Neither of these are created on the RUTX09.
Please can someone help?
Thanks Mark
