Prerequisites for SD-WAN configuration

After the FortiGate NVAs for the vWAN hub and FortiGate units for branch locations are configured and managed by FortiManager, you are ready to use FortiManager to configure a new SD-WAN region. FortiGate NVAs are the hub, and branch FortiGates are the spokes in the SD-WAN configuration.

Following are the prerequisites to configure SD-WAN:

• FortiGate NVAs for the vWAN hub and FortiGate units for the branch locations have been added to FortiManager as managed devices.
  • The FortiGate units have an active connection to FortiManager.
• vWAN FortiGate NVAs have a default configured for the external port.
  • In this document, port1 is the external port.
• ISP links and other interfaces have been configured on all devices.
  • ISP routing is configured where branches have proper routes to reach the FortiGate NVAs for the vWAN hub.
  • LAN and other directly connected networks have been assigned.
