Question 470
A site-to-site FortiGate shows tunnel interface vpn-hq as selected route and established IKE/CHILD SAs. `diagnose debug flow` says `Denied by forward policy check`. Why is the traffic blocked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An established route and SA do not override firewall policy; the flow debug identifies the permission stage explicitly.
Incorrect Answers
A live SA contradicts a Phase 1 negotiation-failure explanation.
The recorded deny occurs during local forwarding-policy evaluation.
Changing encryption cannot make an implicit local firewall deny into a permit.
