The following snippet summarizes the SD-WAN Multi-Datacenter (Primary/Primary) architecture and deployment guide for Enterprises. To view the complete guide, go to Multi-Datacenter (Primary/Primary) Enterprise SD-WAN.
Multiple datacenters (primary/primary gateways)
In this design, branch SD-WAN devices now have two (or more) gateways at separate geo-redundant locations from which to steer traffic. Both hub devices are primary instead of active/passive. This design is common where hub devices provide remote access to different resources.
- Example 1: HUB1 in HQ, HUB2 in Datacenter
- Example 2: HUB1 in Datacenter, HUB2 in AWS
- Example 3: HUB1 in AWS, HUB2 in Azure
Deployment procedures
Following is a summary of the steps required to configure SD-WAN using FortiManager:
- Configure the overlay using the SD-WAN overlay template. See Creating an overlay template.
- Assign metadata values to branch devices. See Assigning meta data values to branch devices.
- Configure SD-WAN rules. See Configuring SD-WAN rules.
- Create normalized interfaces. See Creating normalized interfaces.
- Create policy packages and firewall policies for hub and branch devices. See Creating policy packages and firewall policies.
- Install policy packages to devices. See Installing policy packages.
- Verify the SD-WAN configuration. See Verifying the SD-WAN configuration.
