Hello community, I am thinking about implementing a FortiGate device in my network. However, due to the topology of the network, I have questioned whether or not to replace my Core Router directly with a FortiGate. What has been your experience? Regards.

Hi @ULL1903 ,

 

You can either replace the Core Router with the FortiGate or use the Core Router as the next hop/Default Gateway for FortiGate.

If you let the core router terminating those three circuits and act as a gateway device to the internet, you wouldn't be able to set up SD-WAN to control traffic between them.
