SD-WAN

SD-WAN

An SD-WAN is a virtual interface that consists of a group of member interfaces that can be connected to different link types. The FortiPortal unit groups all physical member interfaces into a single virtual interface, which is the SD-WAN interface. SD-WAN simplifies your network configuration because you configure a single set of routes and firewall policies and apply them to all member interfaces. You also configure various types of criteria that the FortiPortal unit then uses to select the best links for your network traffic.

The SD-WAN works only with ADOM 6.0 or higher in a per-device management mode.

You can configure an SD-WAN for a group of interfaces or for an ADOM. After you configure the SD-WAN, you can monitor the performance of SD-WAN interfaces and identify unhealthy devices.

To edit an SD-WAN configuration, you must have both read-write permission for SD-WAN and read permission for the interface.

Use the SD-WAN dropdown menu on the Device Manager tab to perform the following tasks:
