[YBKruthi]

Description	This article describes workaround steps to follow if an issue appears with the SD-WAN interface that is not visible after upgrading to version 7.2.5/7.4.0.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	Run into cosmetic issue post upgrade to version 7.2.5/7.4.0. Problem Description:  Unable to see 'virtual-wan-link' as a valid source/destination Interface when editing or creating firewall policy from GUI:  SD-WAN zone is not showing up in Network -> Interfaces from GUI. Editing and creating a firewall policy with 'virtual-wan-link' as the source/destination interface is possible from CLI: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- set name "WIFI-AMI-Visiteurs_To_WAN" set uuid 7e66ed90-9000-51ec-ed04-a16404ef4b41 set srcintf "AMI-Visiteurs" set dstintf "virtual-wan-link"   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< set action accept set srcaddr "AMI_WIFI_AMI_Visiteurs" set dstaddr "all" set schedule "always" set service "ALL"  set utm-status enable set ssl-ssh-profile "certificate-inspection" set av-profile "default" set webfilter-profile "default" set dnsfilter-profile "default" set logtraffic all set nat enable -------------------------------------------------------------------- Condition: The issue is specific to Hardware devices and is not observed on virtual machines.  This is a cosmetic bug scenario that will not affect the production traffic. However, creating new policies on GUI will not show the SD-WAN interface to be mapped under the destination. There are no concerns with the CLI and is functional. Even it will be possible to see the SD-WAN interface. Workaround: Creating a new dummy SD-WAN zone, virtual-wan-link will be visible and possible to be configured in firewall policy from GUI: ------------------------------- config system sdwan     config zone         edit "DUMMY"     next end -------------------------------- The dummy zone is visible under SD-WAN zones. However, is not mapped under any firewall policy. Post the above change, it will be possible to see all the lost SD-WAN interfaces available on the GUI under the firewall policy. Permanent Solution: This cosmetic bug is resolved with the upgrade to version 7.2.6/7.4.1
