SD-WAN hub

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
