About SD-WAN Rules
SD-WAN Rules bring Path Selection Profiles and routing criteria together to provide dynamic path selection. SD-WAN Rules combine a Path Selection Profile with either a Source and/or Destination and/or Service Object/Group or a specific Match Object of type "Application List" or "Application Category List" which determines the outgoing path dynamically based on the Path Selection Profile's parameters. If there is more than one path qualified by the Path Selection Profile, the traffic is automatically load balanced among the qualified paths. If none of the paths are qualified by the Path Selection Profile and the backup interface in the profile is not configured or is down, the rule is disabled.
SD-WAN Rules can also be configured or viewed from the Policy | Rules and Policies > Routing Rules page. The Network | SDWAN > Rules page, however, only shows the SD-WAN Rules and only allows configuration of SD-WAN-type rules.
