SD-WAN passive health check configurable on GUI 7.0.1

SD-WAN passive WAN health can be configured in the GUI.

  1. Go to Network > SD-WAN and select the Performance SLAs tab.

  2. Edit an existing health check, or create a new one.

  3. Set Probe mode to Passive or Prefer Passive.

  4. Configure the remaining settings as needed.

    The SLA list shows the probe mode in the Detect Server column, if the probe mode is passive or prefer passive.

Probe packets can only be disabled in the CLI and when the probe mode is not passive.
