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.
