Viptela and SDWAN Fortigate

[interfacedy]

Hi Anyone can tell what is difference between Viptela and SDWAN Fortigate? Can we say if we use Viptela, we need to add another firewall?

Hello,
That's two different vendor solution. Viptela SDWAN solution has integrated security functions, such as IDS/IPS/NGFW/URLF. You might not need a separate firewall solution depending on your use case.

Hi,

On the Viptela / Cisco SDWAN question, check out the design guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/SDWAN/cisco-sdwan-design-guide.html#FirewallPortConsiderations
on the FW Port considerations. The solution has the FW in-built into it.
