Technical Tip: Identity based routing with SD-WAN

Purpose
This article describes different route groups to different internet interface.

Scope
The scope of this article is to allocate different group internet over different internet interface, for example :
  1) salesgrp via wan1
  2) usrgrp via wan2
  3) hrgrp via port1

Diagram
Network diagram:
   1) mgmt - 10.40.1.181/20 (internal network)
   2) wan1 - 10.5.17.181/20 G/w 10.5.31.254 (ISP1)
   3) wan2 - 10.46.1.181/20 G/w 10.46.6.114 (ISP2)
   4) port1 - 10.45.1.181/20 G/w 10.45.6.114 (ISP3)

All these ISPs are bound to SD-WAN, and have a default route configured to the 'sd-wan' interface

Verify all the 3 ISP routes are static as follows:
get router info routing-table all
Create SD-WAN policies by binding correct group to correct ISP interface as follows:
config system virtual-wan-link
config service
        edit 1
            set name "salesgrp"
            set mode priority
            set dst "all"
            set src "all"
            set groups "salesgrp"
            set health-check "ping"
            set priority-members 1    <-- wan1 interface
        next
        edit 2
            set name "usrgrp"
            set mode priority
            set dst "all"
            set src "all"
            set groups "usergrp"
            set health-check "ping"
            set priority-members 3    <-- wan2 interface
        next
        edit 3
            set name "hrgrp"
            set mode priority
            set dst "all"
            set src "all"
            set groups "hrgrp"
            set health-check "ping"
            set priority-members 2    <-- port1 interface
        next
    end
end



Expectations, Requirements
Configure the FSSO with advanced mode by monitoring 3 groups (salesgrp, usrgrp and hrgrp), bind these FSSO group on FortiGate local groups:
config user adgrp
    edit "CN=salesgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
        set server-name "fsso_lab"
    next
    edit "CN=usrgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
        set server-name "fsso_lab"
    next
    edit "CN=hrgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
        set server-name "fsso_lab"
    next
end
config user group
edit "salesgrp"
        set group-type fsso-service
        set member "CN=salesgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
    next
    edit "usergrp"
        set group-type fsso-service
        set member "CN=usrgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
    next
    edit "hrgrp"
        set group-type fsso-service
        set member "CN=hrgrp,CN=Users,DC=dubailab,DC=lab"
    next
end
Create identity base route policies via CLI as below
config firewall identity-based-route
    edit "salesgrp"
        config rule
            edit 1
                set gateway 10.5.31.254
                set device "wan1"
                set groups "salesgrp"
            next
        end
    next
    edit "usergrp"
        config rule
            edit 1
                set gateway 10.5.63.254
                set device "wan2"
                set groups "usergrp"
            next
        end
    next
    edit "hrgrp"
        config rule
            edit 1
                set gateway 172.31.176.254
                set device "port1"
                set groups "hrgrp"
            next
        end
    next
end
Create 3 firewall policies from mgmt to sd-wan for 3 groups as follows:
config firewall policy
    edit 1
        set name "sd-wan"
        set uuid e778ea7e-e27d-51e8-b054-5827c114cd1d
        set srcintf "mgmt"
        set dstintf "virtual-wan-link"
        set srcaddr "all"
        set dstaddr "all"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
        set groups "salesgrp"
        set identity-based-route "salesgrp"
        set nat enable
    next
    edit 2
        set name "usrgrp"
        set uuid f7a773e8-e27d-51e8-ae6b-dabe4bf69ca1
        set srcintf "mgmt"
        set dstintf "virtual-wan-link"
        set srcaddr "all"
        set dstaddr "all"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
        set groups "usergrp"
        set identity-based-route "usergrp"
        set nat enable
    next
    edit 3
        set name "hrgrp"
        set uuid 08d6bf2a-e27e-51e8-23f5-2a1301abe096
        set srcintf "mgmt"
        set dstintf "virtual-wan-link"
        set srcaddr "all"
        set dstaddr "all"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
        set groups "hrgrp"
        set identity-based-route "hrgrp"
        set nat enable
    next
end

Note: Different group on different interface browsing can be achieved with these configurations.

Configuration
config system virtual-wan-link
    set status enable
    config members
        edit 1
            set interface "wan1"
            set gateway 10.5.31.254
        next
        edit 2
            set interface "port1"
            set gateway 10.45.6.114
        next
        edit 3
            set interface "wan2"
            set gateway 10.46.6.114
        next
    end
    config health-check
        edit "ping"
            set server "8.8.8.8"
            set members 2 1 3
        next
    end
    end
