When configuring a static route on FortiGate, what does the destination represent?

When configuring a static route on FortiGate, the destination represents the network or IP address to which the traffic will be forwarded.

To configure a static route on FortiGate, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the FortiGate web interface or connect to the FortiGate CLI.
2. Navigate to the routing section or enter the routing configuration mode.
3. Identify the destination network or IP address for which you want to configure the static route.
4. Specify the destination network or IP address in the appropriate field. This can be a specific IP address or a network address in CIDR notation.
5. Determine the next-hop or gateway IP address that will be used to reach the destination network.
6. Enter the next-hop or gateway IP address in the corresponding field.
7. Configure any additional parameters, such as the interface through which the traffic should be routed or any specific routing options.
8. Save the configuration changes and apply them to the FortiGate device.

By configuring a static route with the correct destination, you can ensure that traffic is properly routed to the intended network or IP address.
