Description
This article describes the reasons why policy lookup is not happening correctly.

Solution
Few of the reasons for policy lookup is not happening correctly from GUI are:





1) Wrong source and destination interface given in policy.
Verify this with the routing and sniffer commands as below

- Check the routes of both src and destination with the below command
# get router info routing-table details 0.0.0.0
Sniff the traffic on FortiGate to know the incoming interface of the traffic flow.

# diag sniffer packet any “ host x.x.x.x “ 4 0 l      <----- x.x.x.x being the IP address.
2) Most of the cases there could be a policy route in place for the same traffic customer is looking for, due to which the traffic will be hitting a different policy or a implicit policy.

So it is suggested to check PBR before looking for the policy lookup from GUI.
