FortiGate SDWAN with BGP HUB-HUB

I'm new to configuring sdwan with bgp, I've worked on both separately very well but have found it difficult to integrate them together. The scenario is as follows:
I want SDWAN communication between 2 Fortigate with 4 site to site ipsec VPNs and BGP routing. Neither of the 2 is hub or spoke so the ADVPN functionality I think does not fit in my scheme. Basically it would be a SPOKE-SPOKE or HUB-HUB communication if we see it in some way.

 

FGT 1 -------- 4 VPN in SDWAN --------------- FGT2

 

The idea is that it works as it does with static routing; when a link is degraded by packet loss it switches to the next link and vice versa when the primary link improves it returns the traffic.

I have tried to follow the guide below:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/sd-wan-self-healing-with-bgp/559415/overview

 

But most of the documentation you find refers to HUB-SPOKE or ADVPN. I have tried to make adjustments to make it HUB-HUB but the configuration has not worked for me.

Does anyone have any recommendations or guidelines?

Hi @sirma504 ,

To achieve this requirement, we may need to refer couple of documents. There may not be a single document that fully explain each detail step.

 

Firstly, regarding to the 4 site-to-site IPsec tunnels and BGP routing, we can follow below document:

 

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Dynamic-routing-BGP-over-IPsec-tunnel/ta-p...

 

Then, to add each IPsec tunnel interface to the SDWAN zone, we can follow below document:

 

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Add-an-existing-IPsec-VPN-tunnel-to-SD-WAN...

 

Further more, for the SDWAN outgoing interface selection based on the packet loss, we can use the strategy of 'Best Quality' in the SDWAN rule as mentioned below:

 

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.4/administration-guide/22371/best-quality-strategy

 

Regards,

George
