About SD-WAN Route Policies
Dynamic Path selection for specific traffic flows uses Policy-based Routes. A SD-WAN Policy-based Route is used to configure the route policy for the specific source/destination service/app combination, with a corresponding Path Selection Profile that determines the outgoing path dynamically based on the Path Selection Profile. If there is more than one path qualified by the Path Selection Profile, the traffic is automatically load balanced among the qualified paths. If none of the paths are qualified by the path selection profile and the backup interface in the profile is not configured or is down, the route is disabled. For information about SonicOS SD-WAN, see About SD-WAN.
SD-WAN routing can be configured from the Network | System > Dynamic Routing page. The Network | SDWAN > Rules page, however, only shows the SD-WAN Routes and only allows configuration of SD-WAN-type routes.
