Using the default route via underlay

Using the default route via underlay

If RIA functionality is not required, it is enough to only keep the default route by way of the "underlay" zone only:

  • Edge-to-Internet traffic will be able to breakout locally, using this default route.
  • Edge-to-Hub and Edge-to-Edge traffic will use the specific routes learned through BGP.

No other routing configuration is needed.

Note

If any other destination exists that must be reached through the overlays (either Internet destination or a legacy site outside the SD-WAN solution), you must ensure that a valid route to that destination exists through the required overlay. This route can be either learned dynamically or configured statically.
