Hello, I'm wordering if I setup a client with best pratice. Three months ago I setup an SDWAN with two IPSec VPN on Fortigate with another vendor (Forcepoint), It works well as far as I know. (We did some faiolver tests). Forcepoint do support active/aclive VPN (all route is active at same time on FIB), so I just think "that is possible". Today someone told me "There is no SDWAN within different vendor".

Someone here did this type of deployment before?

Hi roni_lucas,

Yes, it is possible to deploy SD-WAN with different vendors. While it is recommended to use the same vendor for both the SD-WAN solution and the firewall, it is still possible to integrate SD-WAN with a different firewall vendor.

However, it is important to ensure compatibility and proper configuration between the two vendors to ensure seamless operation.
