Create a Default Route to the SD-WAN Interface

Create a default route to an SD-WAN interface you created in order to bring up the firewall.
If you are using a service route to access Panorama, to bring up the firewall you must create a default route that points to an SD-WAN interface you created.
Auto VPN creates a virtual SD-WAN interface named sdwan.901 for DIA and creates a virtual SD-WAN interface named sdwan.902 for VPN tunnels. Auto VPN also creates its own default route that uses the sdwan.901 interface as its egress interface and uses a low metric, so that the sdwan.901 interface is preferred over the default route you created.
  1. Select the Template you are working on.
  2. Select NetworkVirtual Routers and select a virtual router, such as sd-wan.
  3. Select Static Routes and Add a static route by Name.
  4. For Destination, enter 0.0.0.0/0.
  5. For egress Interface, select one of the logical SD-WAN interfaces you created to bring up the firewall.
    The egress interface you select can be any logical SD-WAN interface except sdwan.901 or sdwan.902.
  6. For Next Hop, select None.
  7. For Metric, enter a value greater than 50, so that this default route is not preferred over the default route that Auto VPN creates with a low metric.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Select Commit and Commit and Push your configuration changes.
  10. Commit your changes.
  11. Repeat this task for other templates on firewalls that use a service route to access Panorama™.
