Hi, I have never used Fortigate FW with VMware SD-WAN. It may be  PFS setting. Have you tried "no PFS" setting?

Hi guys, I have a problem with IpSec VPN between Velocloud gateway and Fortigate (VM fortigate on OCI, fortigate 200E, 80E, and 500E appliance). In both cases the VPN isn't established correctly. Do you have the same problem or something similar? In the case of VPN between Velocloud Gateway and Fortigate VM there is a mismatch with the SPI parameter

Good day, So if I configure it as a routed port (and assign the correct VLAN to it), and add a secondary interface (and add the correct VLAN to it), how do I program the opposite Cisco switch interface (switched)? in a trunk mode or what? 
Hi, Which page did you have trouble with? Is it P.94? Regard

Good day, At a branch, I have configured the active 510 GE4 as DHCP client (routed port mode). This works (as expected) by bringing the Edge to the network and it shows up in Orchestrator. The problem is in GE3: I have configured this port as switched trunk, and added two VLANs that I have already configured with static IP addresses, each representing a different WAN. How can I add default gateways for each VLAN so it can communicate with the internet. I added default routes as can be seen in the attached screenshot but will the Edge be able to identify which CLAN is connected with which route? Also will it use it to build overlays? After I have done this, the Edge still shows as having one link, meaning the VLANs did not register as WAN links. Am I missing something here?   Just to confirm one thing, I can ping both VLAN IP addresses from outside.  This means the default routes worked. However Orchestrator still shows the edge have only one link rather than 3

Good day, I was trying to setup a static IP address at the Edge level, I followed the HoL-2340-1-net LAB guide method to the letter. Yet when I try to save changes, I get "invalid probe interval for interface GE4" error. Googling this error returns 0 results. I am getting a feeling we made a mistake choosing VMware. Don't get me wrong, their ESXi and Workstation Player products are phenomenal, but the eco system is disappointing to say the least. I think we should have gone with Cisco.
Hi, I found the document, but I could not see it on Orchestrator either. Diagnostic Bundles for Edges https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-SD-WAN/5.2/VMware-SD-WAN-Administration-Guide/GUID-82F86... See more...

You can get the diagnostic bundle in other ways. If you allow access to the local UI from the Edge firewall settings, you would be able to get the diagnostic bundle from local, but VMware KB does not recommend this.

Many Thanks
Good day @khirom    The problem with these labs is that they are preconfigured. I need something from scratch to reflect my current state
Hello @khirom    But I MUST create such an EDGE from Configure --> Edge Right?

Hi, Standby Edge does not require activation. Just connect an activated HA active Edge GE1 and an unactivated (factory condition) VMware SD-WAN Edge on the GE1 port.
