SD-WAN components
SD-WAN can be broken down into three layers:
-
Management and orchestration
-
Control, data plane, and security
-
Network access
The control, data plane, and security layer can only be deployed on a FortiGate. The other two layers can help to scale and enhance the solution. For large deployments, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer provide the management and orchestration capabilities FortiSwitch and FortiAP provide the components to deploy an SD-Branch.
