Policy based routing vs SD-WAN Rules

[Ballzack]

Good day.

I cannot find any information on this. I would like to know if policy routes take preference over SD-WAN Rules. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Since PBR (policy Based Routing) is done prior to static routing,  You can define the PBR to match your traffic and route the packets through the port you want (one you have in the SD-WAN group)

There is a discussion on this cookbook page http://cookbook.fortinet....nt-internet-sd-wan-56/

Hi,

Have you figured it out?

even I'm wondering if SD-WAN rules have more priority than policy routes.

Thanks

Hi,

A PBR configuration has more precedence over an SDWAN rule configuration.

Hi Team,

policy routes >> sd wan rules and then comes routing table(get router info routing-table details)

This is the routing behavior in fortigate firewall

Here's a KB article with a very nice diagram describing the route lookup flow.

And yes, PBR is evaluated before SD-WAN rules.
