FortiGate SD-WAN Feature License

Does the SD-WAN feature for FortiGate (600E for example) requires per year license?

Good Day,

 

The base SD-WAN feature set is built in. No specific licensing is required (though you should have FortiCare as a minimum).

Some features such as the orchestrator do require a subscription license, but they aren’t an absolute requirement for the solution.

 

 

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Orchestrator allows organizations to simplify centralized deployment and establish automation to save time and respond more quickly to business demands. A centralized orchestrator can provide intuitive workflow for business policies to strategize distribution of applications, and other traffic across and between branch offices. With Automated VPN overlay bring-up, meshed connectivity across regional hubs and branch offices especially in larger SD-WAN deployments is easily managed with minimal overhead. Enhanced analytics for WAN link availability, performance SLAs and application traffic in runtime, and historical stats allow the infrastructure team to troubleshoot and quickly resolve network issues.
