SD-WAN Devices

Add SD-WAN branch and hub firewalls to be managed by Panorama.
  • Panorama
    SD-WAN
    Devices
Add
the SD-WAN firewall branches and hubs that make up your VPN cluster and SD-WAN topology to be managed by the Panorama management server.
You can also
Group HA Peers
so HA peers appear consecutively on the list of devices for ease of use.
(
PAN-OS 9.1.2 and later 9.1 releases
) You can select
BGP Policy
to have Panorama create and push to firewalls a Security policy rule that allows BGP to run between branches and hubs.
Field
Description
Add
Name
Enter a
Name
that identifies the SD-WAN firewall.
Type
Select the
Type
of SD-WAN firewall:
  • Hub
    —A centralized firewall deployed at a primary office or location, such as a data center or business headquarters, to which all branch firewalls connect using a VPN connection. Traffic between branches passes through the hub before continuing to the target branch. Branches connect to hubs to gain access to centralized resources at the hub location and the hub processes traffic, enforces policy rules, and manages link swapping at the primary office or location.
  • Branch
    —A firewall deployed at a physical branch location that connects to the hub using a VPN connection and provides security at the branch level. The branch connects to the hub for access to centralized resources. The branch firewall processes traffic, enforces policy rules, and manages link swapping at the branch location.
Virtual Router Name
Select the virtual router to use for routing between the SD-WAN hub and branches. By default, Panorama creates an
sdwan-default
virtual router and enables Panorama to automatically push router configurations.
Site
Enter a user-friendly
Site
name that identifies the hub or branch. For example, enter the city name where the branch firewall is deployed.
Zone Internet
Add
one or more pre-existing zones to map them to the predefined zone named
zone-internet
. SD-WAN traffic egresses this zone to go to the internet.
Zone Hub
Add
one or more pre-existing zones to map them to the predefined zone named
To_Hub
. SD-WAN traffic egresses this zone to go to a hub.
Zone Branch
Add
one or more pre-existing zones to map them to the predefined zone named
To_Branch
. SD-WAN traffic egresses this zone to go to a branch.
Zone Internal
Add
one or more pre-existing zones to map them to the predefined zone named
zone-internal
. SD-WAN traffic egresses this zone to go to an internal zone.
BGP
Select tab to configure BGP.
BGP
Enable
BGP
to configure BGP routing for SD-WAN traffic.
Router ID
Specify the BGP router ID, which must be unique for all routers.
Use the Loopback Address as the Router ID.
Loopback Address
Specify a static loopback IPv4 address for BGP peering.
AS Number
Enter the Autonomous System number of the private AS to which the virtual router on the hub or branch belongs. The SD-WAN plugin supports only private autonomous systems. The AS number must be unique for every hub and branch. The 4-byte ASN range is 4,200,000,000 to 4,294,967,294 or 64512.64512 to 65535.65534. The 2-byte ASN range is 64512 to 65534.
Use a 4-byte private ASN.
Prefixes to Redistribute
Enter prefixes to redistribute to the hub router from the branch. By default, all locally connected internet prefixes are advertised to the hub location.
Palo Alto Networks does not redistribute the branch office default routes learned from the ISP.
Upstream NAT
(
PAN-OS 9.1.3 and later 9.1 releases and SD-WAN Plugin 1.0.3 and later 1.0 releases
) Select tab if you are adding an SD-WAN hub device that is behind a NAT device.
Upstream NAT
Enable
Upstream NAT
for the hub.
SD-WAN Interface
Select an interface on the hub that you have already configured for SD-WAN.
IP Address/FQDN
Select either
IP Address
or
FQDN
and enter a single IP address or FQDN of the public-facing interface on the upstream, NAT-performing device. Auto VPN Configuration uses this address as the tunnel endpoint of the hub.
Group HA Peers
Click the checkbox at the bottom of the screen to cause HA peers to appear consecutively on the list of devices for ease of use.
BGP Policy
BGP Policy
(
PAN-OS 9.1.2 and later 9.1 releases
) Select
BGP Policy
at the bottom of the screen and then
Add
to have Panorama automatically create and push to firewalls a Security policy rule that allows BGP to run between branches and hubs.
Policy Name
Enter a name for the Security policy rule that Panorama will automatically create.
Select Device Groups
Select the device groups to which Panorama pushes the Security policy rule.
