| Description | This article describes the behavior of the SD-WAN Rules configured in Manual mode when the Performance SLA for the interface is failing. |
| Scope | FortiOS. |
| Solution |
The manual strategy does not require the configuration of a performance SLA. However, performance SLA rules can be configured to monitor the members' status. If all Performance SLA health-checks indicate that an interface is dead, even if this interface is used in a manual mode SD-WAN Rule, this SD-WAN rule will be void.
config system sdwan end config members set zone "virtual-wan-link" next config health-check config service
When the Performance SLA is failing, the interface is marked as dead:
diagnose system sdwan health-check
The SD-WAN rule is disabled:
diagnose system sdwan service Service(1): Address Mode(IPV4) flags=0x200
To avoid this behavior, one of the following options can be applied:
This behavior can cause issues when there are multiple rules, and in some of them, the SLA is configured. However, it is also necessary to have rules in manual mode that are always matched. For example, to tag the traffic.
