We currently have two ISPs setup as an SD-WAN on a Fortigate 200 in an HA pair. We need to add a third ISP, but we do not want to make the third ISP a part of the SD-WAN. The third ISP will be used exclusively for a specific internal VLAN and a specific type of traffic.
That is, we need to direct a specific VLAN out the third ISP. The specific VLAN only should go out the "third WAN."
I found another forum post that seems to indicate that this is possible:
https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Support-Forum/Multiple-WANs-for-separate-LANs/m-p/95377#M95287
The VLAN is currently going out our SD-WAN.
If I have it correct that such a setup is possible, what are the steps?
1) Add ISP to the Fortigate.
a) Configure an available port with info for ISP.
2) Create a Firewall policy for VLAN to go out ISP #3.
3) Create a Policy Route to direct WAN traffic from the specific VLAN out ISP #3
Does this sound right? Any other considerations/concerns?
Hi @peter-supply ,
I am not sure whether you have VDOM or not. Anyway, if 3 default routes are in the same place (VDOM, same routing table) , make sure that they have the same AD.
The rest of them seems good to me.
We do not use VDOM. Do you have any recommendations as to how the Policy Route be setup? Thanks.
Let's call the interface facing the VLAN "VLAN-Interface", the VLAN is called "VLAN-subnet".
The Source Interface is "VLAN-Interface";
The Destination interface is the interface connecting ISP#3;
Source address is "VLAN-subnet";
Destination address is all.
