Hello people, I´m deploying SD-WAn feature a environment with 120 spokes ( FGT60D 6.0.9 version ) and a Hub ( FGT100F 6.2.4).

I have heard that isn´t the best pratical or no recommend anable SD-WAN on HUB device. 

some tip administrators is sd-wan only on spokers and no on hub.

So I wonder about that question, Can I anable SD-WAN feature on HUB ? In my environment  the most traffic is from spoker to hub but there are some traffic from Hub to Spoker.

Any tip about is welcome

    Hi maiconp340,

    Interesting. I'm about to configure a hub with many spokes as well. I did not know that it wasn't a good practice to deploy SD-WAN in the hub. Can you let me know where you found this information? also, are you looking at configuring AD-VPN?

     

    The following KB article has some good information.

    Hello Aads Thank you,

    Your doc explains about only ADVPN and Dialup VPN, no about SD-WAN.

    But yes, I´m using DiaulVPN on my HUB.

     

    look at the doc follow

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1amSELOpZxCs5S9-g0n7M88QriOCWwpvV/view?usp=sharing

     

    It´s claim only SD-WAN on spokers and not o HUB I have ever heard from some frieds Networkers admin too.

    So I should like know whether anybody already SD-WAN feature on HUB.

    Do you have much spoke to spoke traffic, if it's very limited do you need advpn. Asking myself this question at the moment and I think the answer for me is no, apart from an odd phone call, no traffic between spokes.
