NFR Beta FOS 6.4 - SD-WAN – Feature Enhancement - Multiple SD-Interface in one VDOM instead one SD-WAN

Dear Fortinet Community

I am looking for more support of my New Feature Request within the FortiOS 6.4 Beta - NFR: Multiple SD-Interface in one VDOM instead one SD-WAN.

It would be good to have the possibility to have multiple SD-WAN Interfaces in one VDOM. – Maybe the right name would SD-Zone.

So, you can have one SD-WAN for the Internet-Traffic and one or multiple VPNs combined in a SD-VPN. At the ende everything is the same, it's a Software Defined Routing and Traffic Management.

The concept today is mixing WAN and VPN in one SD-WAN with the result of losing the clear structure. Without a clean structure you loosing the overview and you getting a worser security.



Please register yourself for the Beta Program and support this request.
This will streamline the SD-WAN and brings back the clear view between WAN and VPN.

for have multplie sdwan interfaces by appliance, do i need create vdoms and every vdom i can have 1 sdwan? is it right?
faridulalam_FTNT

Yes, SD-WAN interface per VDOM.
If you have 5 VDOM in a single appliance, then you can create 5 SD-WAN interface.

The NFR (New Feature Request) requested by Marcus, Multiple SD-WAN interface in each VDOM for multi-purpose activity.

Constant dropping wears the stone. - the feature request was implemented in 6.4.1 - thanks Fortinet - Happy !!

SD-WAN zones

In FortiOS 6.4.1, SD-WAN member interfaces are grouped into SD-WAN zones. These zones can be used in firewall policies. Individual SD-WAN members can no longer be used directly in policies.

In the CLI:

  • config system virtual-wan-link has been replaced with config system sdwan.
  • virtual-wan-link option in static route has been renamed sdwan.
  • diagnose system virtual-wan-link has been replaced with diagnose system sdwan.
config system sdwan
config zone # <== new
 edit "virtual-wan-link" # <== default zone
        next
edit "overlay" next end config members edit 1
set interface "port1" #<== in default zone
        next
        edit 2
            set interface "MPLS-VPN"
            s
et zone "overlay" # <== new
        next
    end
end


Previously, SD-WAN members could be used directly by policies. Upon upgrading to 6.4.1, an SD-WAN zone upg-zone-<interface-name> will be created for each member that is defined directly in a policy.
