Virtual IP has the following options.

Go to Firewall > Virtual IP.

Select Create New.

Enter a name for the virtual IP.

Select the virtual IP External Interface from the list.
The external interface is connected to the source network and receives the packets to 
be forwarded to the destination network. You can select any firewall interface or a 
VLAN subinterface. You can set the virtual IP external interface to any FortiGate 
interface. 

 contains example virtual IP external interface settings 

and describes the policies to which you can add the resulting virtual IP.

Select Static NAT.

Enter the External IP Address that you want to map to an address on the destination 
network.
For example, if the virtual IP provides access from the Internet to a web server on a 
destination network, the external IP address must be a static IP address obtained 
from your ISP for your web server. This address must be a unique address that is not 
used by another host and cannot be the same as the IP address of the external 
interface selected in step 

. However, the external IP address must be routed to the 

selected interface. The virtual IP address and the external IP address can be on 
different subnets.

Enter the Map to IP address to which to map the external IP address. For example, 
the IP address of a web server on an internal network.

Select OK.

Enter the name to identify the virtual IP. Addresses, address groups, and 

virtual IPs must all have unique names to avoid confusion in firewall 

policies.

External Interface Select the virtual IP external interface from the list.
Type

Select Static NAT or Port Forwarding.

Enter the external IP address that you want to map to an address on the 

destination network. To configure dynamic port forwarding, set the external 

IP address to 0.0.0.0. 

Enter the external service port number that you want to configure port 

forwarding for. (Port forwarding only.)

Enter the real IP address on the destination network.

Enter the port number to be added to packets when they are forwarded. 

(Port forwarding only.)

Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) that you want the forwarded packets to 

use. (Port forwarding only.)

Note: The firewall translates the source address of outbound packets from the host with the 
Map to IP address to the virtual IP External IP Address, instead of the firewall external address.
