Technical Tip: Unable to add SD-WAN Zone member or individual wan member in either firewall or Local-in policy

[rishab444]

Description	This article describes the scenario when getting the node_check_object fail error while setting up the interface under local-in-policy.
Scope	FortiGate. v7.4.6+
Solution	When the interface is set under local-in-policy, the error 'node_check_object fail! for intf portX' is faced. Or when trying to create a firewall policy with the wan interface of the SD-WAN member does not show up:                                                                              This is an expected behavior in v7.4.6 and above when the interface is part of a Zone under interfaces as seen below: To overcome and proceed to create the local-in-policy, it is necessary to refer to the Zone itself in the Local-in-policy as seen below: This is useful, especially in environments with multiple WANs that are put together in a WAN-Zone/Untrust-Zone.
