Template prerequisites and network planning

Before creating the SD-WAN overlay template, the following prerequisites and network planning steps should be completed:

Prerequisites
  • Import the FortiGate devices that will make up the hub and branch devices into FortiManager. See Add devices.
  • Configure the ISP links and other interfaces on your imported devices.
  • Create a device group for your branch devices. See Device groups
Network planning
  • Allocate the overlay network address space. By default, the template uses 10.10.0.0/16.
  • Allocate the loopback IP address space. By default, the template uses 172.16.0.0/16.
  • Select an AS number for BGP for the new SD-WAN overlay region. By default, the template uses 65000.
