Create firewall policies to allow users on the branch office networks to access the data center networks. Security profiles can be enabled on these firewall policies to inspect layer 7 traffic.

Policies to allow traffic from the branch office to the data center networks:

  • Source interface: Internal interface
  • Destination interface: SD-WAN interface
  • Source Address: Branch networks
  • Destination Address: Data center networks
  • Action: Accept
  • Schedule: Always (or define a more restrictive schedule)
  • Service: Allowed services
