    SD-WAN Devices

    SD-WAN Devices

    You can view and manage SD-WAN devices in SD-WAN Manager > Devices.

    FortiGate devices must be added to SD-WAN Manager before they can be used in SD-WAN overlay templates. Once SD-WAN management is enabled for a device, the device can no longer be managed through the Device Manager, and all device management is instead performed in SD-WAN Manager > Network > Devices.

    The SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard functions similarly to the FortiManager Device Manager. For more information on using features included in the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard, see Device Manager.

    To add existing devices to the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard:

    1. Add the FortiGate device(s) to FortiManager. See Add devices

    2. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups, and select one or more authorized FortiGate devices from the table.

    3. From the toolbar, select More > Enable SD-WAN Management.

      • A message is displayed that SD-WAN management was successfully enabled for the selected device(s).

      • The devices are grayed out in the Device Manager indicating that they have SD-WAN management enabled. Links to the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard and the device database are displayed when selecting a device with SD-WAN management enabled from the Device Manager.

    4. Go to SD-WAN Manager > Network > Devices. The selected devices are now visible in the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard.

    To add model devices to the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard:

    1. Go to SD-WAN Manager > Network >Devices or Device Manager > Devices & Groups.

    2. Click Add Device > Add Model Device.

    3. Enable the Managed by SD-WAN Manager toggle.

    4. Configure the remaining settings as required. See Adding offline model devices.

    5. Click Next. The device is created in the FortiManager database.
    6. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
    To remove devices from the SD-WAN Manager Devices dashboard.

    1. Go to SD-WAN Manager > Network > Devices or Device Manager > Device & Groups.

    2. Select the FortiGate device(s) to be removed from SD-WAN management in the table.

    3. From the toolbar, click More > Disable SD-WAN Management.

      • A message is displayed to confirm that the device has been removed from SD-WAN management.

      • The selected devices are removed from the SD-WAN Manager > Network > Devices dashboard and can now be managed in the Device Manager.
