Configuring a basic SD-WAN deployment
A basic SD-WAN deployment uses static routing and the WAN interfaces on the FortiGate. One possible use for a basic SD-WAN deployment to configure redundant Internet connectivity for your network. This allows you to load balance your Internet traffic between multiple ISP links and provides redundancy for your network’s Internet connection when your primary ISP is unavailable.
To configure a basic SD-WAN deployment, complete the following steps:
- Removing existing configuration references to interfaces
- Creating SD-WAN interfaces
- Configuring SD-WAN load balancing
- Creating a static route for the SD-WAN interface
- Configuring security policies for SD-WAN
- Configuring link health monitoring
- Configuring SD-WAN rules
The Redundant Internet with SD-WAN recipe provides an example of a basic SD-WAN deployment.
