Both sites featured dual WAN links configured in an SD-WAN setup, along with multiple VLANs. I needed to setup multiple VLANs at the branch office Fortigate. I used the VLAN switch feature to create VLANs as sub-interfaces, and then added them to a zone to help with inter-vlan traffic, and for easier firewall policy configuration To completed the site-to-site VPN links despite consulting the Fortigate documentation, I couldn't find an example that exactly matched this scenario. After some extensive searching, I found a YouTube video that demonstrated this particular setup. You can watch it here .

It covers the configuration of dual WAN links, SD-WAN, . Thanks to YouTube...

The PDF file was around 100 KB, and due to file upload limitations, the entire document had to be under 2 MB. Unfortunately, the protection settings of the PDF prevented it from being added to the multi-page document, citing security restrictions. Additionally, Adobe's PDF printer does not allow printing protected PDFs to a new PDF file—quite a limitation from Adobe! To work around this, I used the Microsoft PDF Printer, which allowed me to save the file as an unprotected PDF. However, this resulted in a significant increase in file size, ballooning to around 3 MB. Despite attempting various methods to reduce the size, such as using "Optimize PDF," "Reduce PDF Size," and online compression tools, the results were minimal. After further research, I stumbled upon a forum suggestion to use the "Print As Image" option in the Ad...
