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 IPv4 DIA and a virtual SD-WAN interface named sdwan.9016 for IPv6 DIA. It 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 (IPv4) and sdwan.9016 (IPv6) interface as its egress interface and uses a low metric, so that the sdwan.901 (IPv4) interface and sdwan.9016 (IPv6) interface are preferred over the default route you created.
  1. Select the
    Template
    you are working on.
  2. Select
    Network
    Virtual Routers

    , enter ::/0.
  6. 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, sdwan.902, or sdwan.9016.
  7. For
    Next Hop
    , select
    None
    .
  8. For
    Metric
