Creating an SD-WAN template (Hub)

An SD-WAN template is used to deploy the SD-WAN configuration. As part of creating an SD-WAN template, you will define SD-WAN zones, and add members to the zones.

This SD-WAN configuration does not cover Hub-to-Edge traffic (sessions originated behind the Hub). As a result, if such traffic exists, it will be handled by the traditional routing, disregarding the health of the overlays towards the Edge devices. If it is desired to let SD-WAN select the optimal path for Hub-to-Edge traffic, please follow the steps detailed in Signaling SLA status to hubs.

To configure an SD-WAN template:

1. In FortiManager, go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > SD-WAN Templates, and click Create New.

   

2. In the Name box, type Hub-Template.
3. Create SD-WAN zones named overlay and underlay:
   1. Under Interface Members, click Create New > SD-WAN Zone.

      

   2. In the Name box, type overlay, and click OK.

      

      The SD-WAN zone named overlay is created.

   3. Repeat this procedure to create an SD-WAN zone named underlay.

   Keep the zones empty at the moment.

4. Create SD-WAN Members for this template, assigning them to the appropriate SD-WAN Zones, as follows:

   Interface Member	SD-WAN Zone
   UL_INET	underlay
   EDGE_INET	overlay
   EDGE_MPLS	overlay

   1. Under Interface Members, click Create New > SD-WAN Member.

      

      The Create New SD-WAN Interface Member dialog box is displayed.

   2. In the Interface Member list, select UL_INET, and in the SD-WAN Zone list select underlay, and click OK.

      

   3. Create the remaining interface members.
   4. Click OK.

      The interface members are created.

      

5. Click OK to save the SD-WAN Template.

   No further configuration is required in the SD-WAN Template on the Hub at the moment.
