SD-WAN hub
In a hub and spoke topology, the hub is the central termination point for devices in a corporate region. In the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Solution, the hub serves two main purposes:
- Inter-site connectivity (IPsec server): Front-end connections from spoke devices to private resources
- Routing (BGP and/or P2 selectors): Centralize routing and facilitate ADVPN connections for spoke-to-spoke traffic
The SD-WAN hub is traditionally hosted near private resources or services that other locations need to access. Examples include:
- Headquarter (HQ) locations
- Datacenters
- Large campuses
- Public cloud providers
