Sdwan - IPsec - FexExtender

Hello,


I’m currently working with SD-WAN over IPsec, using a FortiExtender (FEX) with LTE connectivity.

Since LTE does not provide a static default gateway, I’m unsure how to properly configure the “Local Gateway” setting.


What should be defined in the Local Gateway field in this scenario?


Thanks in advance.

if  your FEX does dhcp on the interface connected to the FGT you do not need to enter a gateway at all.

if it is setup static the gateway of the sdwan member is the local ip of your FEX.
