Version 18 and the Nat Rules

Question

Hi Guys 
 Hoping someone can help me as I'm struggling a bit with V18 and the decoupling of NAT rules. I know it works as its working on V17 without issue. 
 We have a vlan and within that vlan there is a device which requires WAN access. I have created the firewall rule with the source zone being the vlan and the source device being the device we need to obtain WAN access along with the destination as WAN. Now when the 3rd party run a tracert we can see its stopping at our XG 
 See below; 
 There is no web filtering etc for this device 
 
 Tested WAN Connectivity, nothing. So I went ahead and created a NAT Rule 
 
 The NAT rule is linked to the correct firewall. Tested outbound WAN connection still nothing with the tracert failing at the same point. Our XG 
 So they I thought we need to create an SDWAN policy, so I did that too, however, that does not work either

Anyone got any idea's what I have done wrong?

Hi Alex, 
 during migration there would have been a number of linked rules created and a default NAT You can delete all the linked rules and rely on the default snat. Also there would have been a number of sd-wan rules created, you can delete them as well. You can delete the linked Nat rules without any issues as along as you have a default Nat rule.

Hi, 
 you could use your default Nat rule, there is no need for a specific Nat rule unless you have multiple wan interfaces.
