What’s new
This section identifies new features and enhancements available with SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA 6.4.1 r4.
For information about what's new in FortiManager 6.4, see the FortiManager 6.4 New Features Guide.
SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA now supports the following FortiGate models:
l FortiGate 40F
l FortiGate 40F-3G4G
These FortiGate models support a special WAN interface named wwan. After inserting a 3G or 4G SIM card into the
slot, the device can connect to the Internet through telecommunication operators.
The wwan interface only supports ISP link type of LTE. Other settings link a normal WAN interface.
SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA now supports the following FortiGate models:
l FortiGate 60E-DSL
l FortiGate 60E-DSLJ
These FortiGate models include a built-in DSL (ADSL/VDSL) modem. The DSL port is recognized as a special WAN
interface named dsl.
For these FortiGate models, a special WAN port named dsl is available in t he Device/Profile > Network > WAN page.
SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA now supports the following FortiWiFi models:
l FortiWiFi 60E
l FortiWiFi 61E
These models include a built-in dual-band, dual-stream access point with internal integrated antennas, and provide
speedy 802.11ac wireless access.
The settings of built-in WiFi interface are the same as other managed AP settings.
For these FortiWiFi models, a built-in AP template is available in Profile > Network > LAN > Switch/AP page.
Support to create an aggregate interface for WAN ports. Add an aggregate interface first, and edit it to add interface
members.
Aggregate LAN interface was introduced in the SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA 6.4.1.r3 release.
Support dual Hub devices in one region to improve system availability and stability. A device can be added to a region as
one of the following role types:
l Primary_Hub
l Secondary_Hub
l Edge
Edge devices will establish dialup or site-to-site overlay links with both hubs in the same region, and forward outbound
traffic through all these overlay links by auto-generated or custom business rules. Overlay links to the primary hub have
higher priority.
The primary and secondary hubs in one region also establish full-mesh, site-to-site overlay links with both hubs in other
regions. Traffic between regions can be forwarded through these links, and links between primary hubs have higher
priority.
In addition, the primary and secondary hub in the same region establishes site-to-site overlay links with each other.
When incoming traffic reaches the primary hub and finds that all links between the hub and the target edge device are
down, traffic is forwarded to the secondary hub through these links and a LAN port, when a new option named Connect
to Peer Hub is configured on both hubs. Then the incoming traffic is forwarded to the target edge device subnet when
overlay links between the edge and the secondary hub are available.
FortiGate HA AP mode
FortiGate HA (high availability) provides redundancy of the FortiGate network if devices failover. The FortiGate device
with a higher node priority is considered the primary device of the HA cluster.
With this new feature, you can add new model devices as HA clusters, and configure existing devices into HA clusters in
AP mode by using the + Model Device or Import Devices pages.
Both FortiGate devices must use the same firmware version to be added to the HA cluster.
This feature supports to establish overlay links between devices, even if both devices are behind a NAT gateway. This
feature is useful when FortiGate devices are set up in Cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, AliCloud, and so on.
When Use VIP for VPN connection is enabled, and a VIP address is configured on a WAN port, IPsec tunnels will be
established with the VIP address instead of the intranet IP address.
Sometimes FortiGate devices need replacement. When you replace a FortiGate device, the new FortiGate has a new
serial number. FortiManager lets you execute the device serial number replacement and reclaim the FGFM tunnel.
After this procedure, the new FortiGate device continues working in both FortiManager and SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA
without adding it again.
Additional enhancements
SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA 6.4.1 r4 also includes the following additional enhancements:
l Improve performance of retrieving monitoring data from FortiGate
l Improve performance of installing in parallel from multiple ADOMs
l Add custom column for device table and other tables with many attributes
l Make SYNC logs formatted and readable
This section highlights some of the operational changes that administrators should be aware of in SD-WAN Orchestrator
MEA 6.4.1 r4.
l FortiSwitch profiles on page 9
l Interface configurations not imported on page 9
FortiSwitch profiles
If SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA prompts an exception when changing the profile of a device as reported in issue 064530,
check if the two profiles meet the following conditions:
1. Compare VLANs in interface FortiLink with these two profiles, and check if there are VLANs that own same VLAN
ID.
2. Compare VLANs in same interface (except interface FortiLink) with these two profiles, and check if there are VLANs
that own same name, but have different VLAN IDs.
3. Compare VLANs in different interfaces (except interface FortiLink) with these two profiles, and check if there are
VLANs that own same name.
Workaround:
1. Make sure the device is synchronized, and then enable the override device LAN setting.
2. Release resources (for example, IP pool, DHCP server, and so on) used by VLANs (except default, video, voice,
rspan, onboarding, quarantine) in interface FortiLink.
3. Release resources used by VLANs that meet condition 2 above, and then delete these VLANs.
4. Release resources used by VLANs that meet condition 3 above, and then delete these VLANs.
5. Disable Switch/AP configuration in Device LAN setting page.
6. Wait 5-10 minutes until device’s configuration state becomes Modified, and then trigger a manual deployment.
7. When device is synchronized, change profile.
8. After changing the profile, disable override device LAN setting.
When adding a FortiGate to SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA, you choose what profile to apply. The profile settings include a
First Online Action option that specifies how to manage the device configuration when the FortiGate comes online for
the first time. When First Online Action is set to RETRIEVE_CONFIG, configuration settings from FortiGate are
retrieved to SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA.
Before you install configuration changes to FortiGate, it is recommended to review the retrieved configuration and
confirm what pre-configured settings were retrieved. Then you can adjust settings in the device configuration before
clicking the Sync button to install configuration changes to FortiGate.
For example, the following conditions must be met for SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA to retrieve and retain pre-configured
WAN interfaces on FortiGate:
1. In the SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA profile assigned to FortiGate, the WAN interface must be enabled.
2. In the SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA profile assigned to FortiGate, the mode for the WAN interface must be the same
as the mode pre-configured for the WAN interface on FortiGate. For example, both must be set to static.
3. If the WAN mode is static on FortiGate, an SD-WAN member configuration must exist on SD-WAN Orchestrator
MEA and reference the WAN port, and the gateway IP must be set for the SD-WAN member.
Every enabled WAN interface in SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA generates an SD-WAN interface member configuration on
FortiGate, and the gateway option is required when the mode is static. If gateway information doesn't exist in FortiGate,
SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA does not retrieve the interface settings because the settings are considered incomplete and
ignored.
Upgrade of SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA 6.4.1 r3 to 6.4.1 r4 is supported.
You must be in a 6.4 ADOM to access SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA.
When you upgrade FortiManager from 6.4.2 to 6.4.3, SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA upgrades automatically to 6.4.1 r4.
Alternately you can leave FortiManager running 6.4.2 and manually upgrade SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA to 6.4.1 r4.
