Removing existing configuration references to interfaces

Remove or redirect any existing configuration references to interfaces that you want to use as SD-WAN members. This includes the default Internet access policy that’s included with many FortiGate models. You must do this before you configure the interfaces as SD-WAN members.

Redirecting the routes and policies to reference other interfaces avoids your having to create them again later. After you configure SD-WAN, you can reconfigure the routes and policies to reference the SD-WAN interface.

Remove interface references in routes – GUI
  1. Go to Network > Static Routes.
  2. Select each route that references the ports that you want to use for the SD-WAN interface.
  3. Select Delete.
  4. Select OK.
Remove interface references in routes – CLI

config router static

delete <sequence_number>

end

where <sequence_number> is the sequence number of the static route that you want to delete.

Remove interface references in security policies – GUI
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy.
  2. Select each policy that references the ports that you want to use for the SD-WAN interface.
  3. Select Delete.
  4. Select OK.
Remove interface references in security policies – CLI

config firewall policy

delete <policy_id>

end

where <policy_id> is the ID number of the policy that you want to delete.
