Description | This article describes the behavior of traffic selection when multiple zones and members are configured in the rules of an SD-WAN. |

Solution |
From FortiOS 7.0.1 onward, SD-WAN functionality supports multiple SD-WAN zones. In previous versions, only SD-WAN member configuration could be used to prioritize traffic flow.
SD-WAN zone priority allows the user to match zones to specific rules. For example, if the user has rule 1 and rule 2, and has zone A and zone B, the user can match traffic from zone A to rule 1 and traffic from zone B to rule 2.
This article explains the behavior in different scenarios with multiple zones and member priorities.
1) A single zone is configured in a rule
For example, set priority-zone "A".
Traffic will match this zone and obey the priority order of zone members in a top-down flow.
Service(2): Address Mode(IPV4) flags=0x200 use-shortcut-sla Gen(1), TOS(0x0/0x0), Protocol(0: 1->65535), Mode(priority), link-cost-factor(latency), link-cost-threshold(10), heath-check(doodle) Members(3): 1: Seq_num(1 port1), alive, latency: 17.554, selected 2: Seq_num(3 port2), alive, latency: 17.477, selected 3: Seq_num(4 port4), alive, latency: 17.925, selected Internet Service(1): Microsoft-Skype_Teams(327781,0,0,0) Src address(1):
2) Multiple zones are configured in rules, but no members
For example, set priority-zone "A""B".
Traffic will match and prioritize the zone configured on top/configured first (zone A in this example), followed by its members, then the next zone (zone B), then its members, and so on.
3) Multiple zones and multiple members configured in rules
For example, set priority-zone "A""B" and set priority-members 4 3 1.
In this case, traffic only follows member order (top to bottom) priority and bypasses the zone priority.
