Sdwan manual mode

Hi

 

I have 2 wan links in a sdwan zone. I also created a sla check to 8.8.8.8 and selected the manual mode on policy. So if one wan link fails the defined sla, is that going to failover to other wan link automatically?

Hi @rezafathi

 

Under Performance SLA, make sure 'Update static route' is enabled and yes, it will failover automatically.

yes it is.

Manual means that it will use the devices in the given order and not do any load balancing. If you have a sla check defined for the rule so it can detect a failing wan it will use the next interface in the row.

So yes it ewill do failover.

Hello,

 

Wen you set up an SLA check to monitor a specific IP (like 8.8.8.8, Google's DNS), it's used to continuously assess the performance of the WAN links. If the SLA threshold (like packet loss, latency, or jitter) defined in the SLA check is breached on one of the WAN links, the SD-WAN  can take action based on the policies set.

 

Thanks
