Gateway components

The SD-WAN gateway can provide one or multiple services:

  • Act as the IPsec dialup server for branch locations
  • Provide centralized routing information and orchestrate dynamic branch-to-branch communication (ADVPN)
  • Protect the datacenter resources and private workloads by utilizing FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall services
  • Provide remote internet breakout for branch locations

Like other SD-WAN architectures, the core functionality of the gateway is to provide connectivity and routing information between branch locations and private resources in the datacenter or the cloud
