Configuring FortiExtender

As mentioned in Uses cases and topologies, we will manage the FortiExtender with the FortiGate.

In this mode, the FortiGate creates a virtual interface of type fext-wan that represents the LTE link and can be added as an SD-WAN interface.

Following is an overview of how to configure FortiExtender:

1. Define the FortiExtender configuration by using a CLI template. See Configuring FortiExtender with CLI templates.
2. Create a normalized interface for FortiExtender. See Creating a normalized interface for FortiExtender.
3. Add the FortiExtender interface to an existing SD-WAN template. See Adding FortiExtender to an SD-WAN template.
4. Install the FortiExtender configuration to FortiGate. See Installing FortiExtender configuration to FortiGate .
