Install the ION 9000 in Virtual In-Path Configuration
Learn to deploy the ION 9000 in a virtual in-path configuration.
The Prisma SD-WAN ION 9000 uses a virtual
in-path configuration to allow the system to perform SD-WAN operations
as it enters and exits the data center.
This mode of operation allows the ION 9000 cluster to:
- Solicit very specific traffic for specific endpoints using traditional network routing protocols.
- Require little or no changes in the existing data center network topology.
- Horizontally scale based on load and site number and geographic distribution.
- Seamlessly transition traffic to another ION 9000 or the legacy routing network, when there is a failure.
The following figure illustrates the virtual in-path deployment
architecture of an ION 9000 data center.
Configure the system with the following port types to set up
the ION 9000 in a virtual in-path configuration:
