Features Introduced in SD-WAN Plugin 3.3

New features for SD-WAN 3.3.
The SD-WAN Administrator’s Guide 3.2 & Later provides information about how to use the SD-WAN plugin features in this release.

What’s New in SD-WAN Plugin 3.3.0

Key features introduced with the SD-WAN plugin 3.3.0 release:
New SD-WAN Feature
Description
Additional SD-WAN Hubs in VPN Cluster
The number of hubs to configure in a VPN cluster has been increased from 4 to 16. Only four of the 16 hubs can have the same hub priority within a VPN cluster due to ECMP.
Additional Private Link Types for SD-WAN Interface Profile
The number of private link types to configure in an SD-WAN Interface Profile has been increased from 3 to 7.
With PAN-OS 11.2.0, SD-WAN plugin 3.3.0 and later releases support the following private link types in addition to the existing private link types (
MPLS
,
Satellite
,
Microwave/Radio
):
  • Private Link1
  • Private Link2
  • Private Link3
  • Private Link4
We don't support plain text traffic from SD-WAN branch firewall to SD-WAN hub firewall for these new private link types. When you configure any of the new private link types, ensure that you have an SD-WAN policy rule on the hub that is configured only with public link type. Because when the internet-bound traffic backhauls or fails to the hub from the branch, it must match with this SD-WAN policy rule. Otherwise, the traffic gets dropped as these private links (
Private Link1
,
Private Link2
,
Private Link3
, and
Private Link4
) are part of the direct internet access (DIA) SD-WAN interface.
Monitor Bandwidth on SD-WAN Devices
For a VPN cluster, you will now be able to view the
bandwidth
of a tunnel and a physical interface (in addition to existing
jitter
,
latency
, and
packet loss
performance measures) for a selected site by default. There is no configuration required from the user to view the bandwidth of a tunnel.
Multiple Virtual Routers Support on SD-WAN Hubs
Supports multiple virtual routers on the SD-WAN hubs that enable you to have overlapping IP subnet addresses on branch devices connecting to the same SD-WAN hub. Multiple virtual routers can run multiple instances of routing protocols with a neighboring router with overlapping address spaces configured on different virtual router instances. Multiple virtual router deployments provide the flexibility to maintain multiple virtual routers, which are segregated for each virtual router instance.
