For FortiGate to work correctly in NAT mode with LAN and DMZ interfaces, both must have a role assigned (A) and an IP configured (D).

    No, The role isn’t mandatory — a route must exist if the network is directly connected.

7.6 Study Guide Page 10:
"In NAT mode, FortiGate routes packets based on layer 3, like a router. Each of its logical network interfaces has an IP address, and FortiGate determines the outgoing or egress interface based on the destination IP address and entries in its routing tables."

Role is not necessary - helpful, but not necessary.

When a FortiGate operates in NAT mode, it functions as a Layer 3 device (router/firewall). Therefore:

Each connected interface must have an IP address assigned

The LAN and DMZ interfaces require IP addresses so FortiGate can route traffic between networks and apply security policies.

Each interface automatically creates a directly connected route

Once an IP address is configured on an interface, FortiGate adds a connected route for that subnet into the routing table. These routes are required for proper packet forwarding.
