Adding SD-WAN Rules

To add an SD-WAN rule

1. Navigate to Network | SDWAN > Rules.

2. Click the Add SDWAN Rule icon. The Add SDWAN Rule dialog is displayed.

   

   The Interface and Disable rule when the interface is disconnected to delineate the two settings options are dimmed and cannot be edited. The Interface option is populated with the SD-WAN group name associated with the Path Selection Profile (PSP) you select.

3. Enter a meaningful name in the Name field.
4. From Source, select the source address object for the static route or select Create new Address object to dynamically create a new address object. The default is Any.
5. From Destination, select the destination address object or select Create new Address object to dynamically create a new address object. The default is Any.
6. Choose the type of rule:
   • Service (default)
   • App

     Application Control Licensing is required for application-based rule.

7. If you selected Service, select a Service Object from the drop-down. For a generic static rule that allows all traffic types, simply select Any (the default).
8. If you selected App, select an App Match Object from App Object drop-down.

   "Application List" or "Application Category List" Match Objects used here are created at Object | Match Objects > Match Objects.

   

9. From Path Profile, select a Path Selection Profile.

10. Enter the Metric (weighted cost) for the route. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 254.

    Lower metrics are considered better and take precedence over higher metrics (costs).

11. Optionally, enter a Comment for the route policy. This field allows you to enter a descriptive comment for the new static route policy.
12. To permit acceleration on the route policy, enable Permit Acceleration.
13. Click Advanced.
14. Optionally enter a TOS value in the TOS (Hex) field. The maximum value is FF. If the TOS and TOS Mask fields are not configured, a value of 0 is used.
15. Enter the same value in the TOS Mask (Hex) field.
16. To manually specify an administration distance:

    1. Deselect Auto. This option is selected by default.

       The Admin Distance field becomes available.

    2. Enter the administration distance in the Admin Distance field.
17. Click Add.
