      And that is what it will do. Not sure what you are doing wrong. Maybe a testing flaw.

      Policy routing pretty much just works.

      What is the source IP address you are testing from? How are you testing?

      Are you getting any alerts at the top of the dashboard that the filter rules can't load or anything?

        Has anyone verified that the vlan setup on lagg0 is working as intended?

              Hardware does not matter in this case.

                @derelict i use the pres network to test, making tracert and compare. I also observe the traffic on both wan and wan2.

                  @derelict said in Policy base routing not working traffic is not forwarded to specified gateway and always go to the default gw:

                  What is the source IP address you are testing from? How are you testing?

                  You did not answer that question. What is the Source IP address of the host you are testing from? I am really not asking for these details to waste your time. Honest.

                  We need to figure out what you are doing wrong - from a distance - and if we ask for details it's because we are trying to figure out where the mistake you made is. Because if there was not a mistake made, it would be working.

                    Thank you for helping i appreciate it guys. The source ip address is the vlan 8 which is the vlan of pres. And testing using traceroute example to google.com to see where i am passing through.

                    During the testing also i run streaming on vlan 8 and then compare it with vlan 5 and 4 to view the usage traffic.

                    By the way i replied on this question.

                    Thanks again.

                      Sigh - looking for the actual host IP address of the host you are testing from, not the interface.

                        Hi Derelicit,

                        On vlan 8 i sometime use the 10.10.8.26 to check if its going through WAN.

                        Thank you,

                          Did you clear the firewall states between running tests?

                          Do you see any alerts shown on the dashboard indicating the ruleset might not loading as expected?

                            Hi guys,

                            Thank you for the support. I finally manage to find the issue and resolve it.

                            The problem was in my L3 switch since i configure the svi on it and then forward all traffic to fw " 0.0.0
                            0 0.0.0.0 10.10.2.1" Doing this the fw always sees that the packets came in a single vlan.

                            Again thank you
