Technical Tip: Moving an Interface that has existing references to SD-WAN zone using Integrate Interface feature

[Nivedha]

Description	This article explains how to use the integrated interface feature to move the interface that has references to the SD-WAN zone.
Scope	FortiGate v7.x.
Solution	Before FortiGate v7.x: Moving an interface to SD-WAN was a lengthy and manual process. The 'integrate' feature was not available, requiring to: Delete all references to the interface (for example: IPSec tunnels, and static routes). Move the interface to SD-WAN. Manually recreate all the deleted references. After FortiGate v7.x (using port1 as an example): The process is much simpler and more efficient thanks to the 'integrate' feature. How to move port1 to SD-WAN using the new method: Note: port1 currently has five references:  Four references across two IPSec tunnels. One reference in a static route. Prerequisite : Enable the SD-WAN feature on the firewall before migrating to the default SD-WAN zone.  From CLI: config system sdwan     set status enable end To move the interface to SD-WAN: Select Integrate Interface: Select Migrate to SD-WAN zone: Select the SD-WAN zone.  Check the references options (replace the instance or delete the entry). The interface will be moved to the SD-WAN zone.                                                                Delete the default static route on port1 and change it to SD-WAN zone. It is required when multiple interfaces are added to the zone.
