FortiGate SD-WAN Configuration Step-by-Step with Performance SLA,
n this comprehensive tutorial, I will show you how to configure SD-WAN on a FortiGate Firewall from scratch. If you are managing a network with multiple ISP links and want to ensure zero downtime, this video is for you!
We will use a real-world lab topology featuring two different ISPs (Airtel and RCOM) to demonstrate how traffic automatically switches during a link failure.
What you will learn in this video:
SD-WAN Fundamentals: Why we need it and how it saves costs.
Interface Setup: Configuring WAN1 (Airtel) on Port3 and WAN2 (RCOM) on Port4.
SD-WAN Zones & Members: How to group multiple internet links together.
Performance SLA: Setting up health checks using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) to monitor link quality.
SD-WAN Rules: Directing traffic based on latency, jitter, or packet loss.
Static Routing & Policy: The correct way to route traffic through the SD-WAN interface.
Failover Testing: Watch what happens when we manually disconnect a link!
Topology Details:
LAN: 172.18.0.1 (Port 2)
ISP 1 (Airtel): 192.168.0.107 (Port 3)
ISP 2 (RCOM): 10.0.137.14 (Port 4)
Management: 192.168.146.251 (Port 1)
