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.

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.90x (where the x starts from 2) 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. SD-WAN plugin 3.2.0 and later versions support
IPv6 interfaces and IPv6 tunnels.
When you configure Auto VPN using Panorama™, it creates the default route
configuration, in which case you don’t have to create and configure the default
route. For all other cases, use the following workflow to create a default route
pointing to the SD-WAN DIA virtual interface that was created earlier.
- Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.Select the Template you are working on.Select and select a virtual router, such as sd-wan.(SD-WAN plugin 3.1.0 and earlier versions) Select Static Routes and Add a static route by Name.(SD-WAN plugin 3.1.0 and earlier versions ) For Destination, enter 0.0.0.0/0.(SD-WAN plugin 3.2.0 and later versions) Select Static Routes.(SD-WAN plugin 3.2.0 and later versions) Select IPv4 or IPv6 and Add a static route by Name.(SD-WAN plugin 3.2.0 and later versions) For an IPv4 Destination, enter 0.0.0.0/0. For an IPv6 Destination, enter ::/0.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.For Next Hop, select None.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.Click OK.Select Commit and Commit and Push your configuration changes.Commit your changes.Repeat this task for other templates on firewalls that use a service route to access Panorama.
