SD-WAN Templates

SD-WAN Templates

You can view FortiManager templates used for SD-WAN configuration under SD-WAN Manager > Templates.

This section includes the following templates.

Template type

Description

Template Groups

Create and assign template groups for use in SD-WAN configurations. You can assign the template group to one or more devices or VDOMs or to a device group.

For more information, see Template groups.

IPsec Tunnel

IPsec templates are used to standardize IPsec tunnel configurations for consistency and scalability. Templates may be applied to one or more individual devices, or device groups. ADOM-level metadata variables are used to facilitate the templates being assigned to multiple FortiGates, and the tunnel interfaces may be mapped to normalized interfaces to be used in SD-WAN configurations.

For more information, see IPsec tunnel templates.

BGP

FortiManager includes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) templates allowing you to provision BGP settings across multiple FortiGate devices.

For more information, see BGP templates.

Static Route

You can provision static routes to FortiGate devices by using a static route template.

For more information, see Static route templates

CLI

You can create CLI templates and assign them to devices. You can also create CLI template groups of multiple CLI scripts, and assign the CLI template group to devices, instead of assigning individual scripts to devices.

For more information, see CLI templates.
