SD-WAN Features
PAN-OS 10.0 supports SD-WAN with new features.
SD-WAN features in PAN-OS 10.0.
New SD-WAN Features | Description |
---|---|
Prisma Access Hub Support (Available
with PAN-OS® 10.0.8 and later 10.0 releases) | As more internet services move to the cloud, PAN-OS
Secure SD-WAN offers security in the cloud using Prisma Access,
in addition to security on-premises using PAN-OS firewalls. The
SD-WAN hub-and-spoke topology supports a Prisma Access hub. You
can secure your internet traffic for specific applications either
at the branch location or in the cloud with Prisma Access and have
this traffic fail over to any other VPN tunnel if necessary. |
Full Mesh VPN Cluster with DDNS Service (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.3 and later 10.0 releases) | In addition to the hub-spoke topology, SD-WAN now
supports a full mesh topology (with or without hubs) so that branches
can communicate with each other directly. For branch or hub interfaces
that receive their IP address from DHCP or PPPoE, a Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
service detects the public-facing IP address of the firewall interface. |
Auto-VPN Configuration with Branch Behind NAT (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.3 and later 10.0 releases) | If you place your SD-WAN branch firewall
behind a device performing NAT, you need a way to specify the IP address
of the public-facing interface on that upstream device, which Auto
VPN Configuration uses as the tunnel endpoint for the branch. When
you add an SD-WAN branch to Panorama, you can now specify the IP
address or FQDN of the upstream device performing NAT for the branch,
or you can specify DDNS, which indicates that the IP address for
the interface on the NAT device is obtained from the Palo Alto Networks
DDNS service. Auto VPN uses the public IP address as the tunnel endpoint
for the branch. |
DIA AnyPath (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.3 and later 10.0 releases) | You can now configure an SD-WAN direct internet access
(DIA) link to fail over to another link that has a direct or indirect
path (through a hub or branch) to the internet, and thus ensure
business continuity. The DIA failover is no longer restricted to
another DIA link. DIA AnyPath use cases include transitioning from
an expensive MPLS link to one or more public internet connections,
possibly from different vendors. You can do split tunneling per
application, where specific applications initially use
a DIA link but fail over to a hub link, or vice versa. |
SD-WAN Forward Error Correction (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.2 and later 10.0 releases) | When both endpoints of a VPN tunnel are
PAN-OS firewalls that use forward error correction (FEC), the receiving
tunnel endpoint can recover lost packets before the link needs to
fail over to a better path. Thus, FEC at the network level allows
you to maintain a high-quality application experience in your SD-WAN.
FEC is especially helpful for applications that are sensitive to packet
loss, such as voice and video streaming. |
SD-WAN Packet Duplication (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.2 and later 10.0 releases) | When both endpoints of a VPN tunnel are
PAN-OS firewalls that use packet duplication, and two such tunnels
to the same destination exist, the source firewall sends the same
packets for an SD-WAN flow over both tunnel links. The destination
tunnel endpoint receives the first packet successfully and discards
the duplicate packet. Packet duplication allows the receiving firewall
to mitigate poor network conditions before the link needs to fail
over to a better path, although packet duplication uses twice the
bandwidth for every flow because it duplicates all packets. Packet
duplication allows you to maintain a high-quality application experience
in your SD-WAN. Packet duplication is especially helpful for applications
that are sensitive to packet loss, high latency, or jitter, such
as voice and video streaming. |
SaaS Application Path Monitoring (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.2 and later 10.0 releases) | PAN-OS 10.0.2 now allows SD-WAN to accurately monitor
and measure the health of SaaS and Cloud application path to ensure
reliability and user experience. When you have an SD-WAN firewall
with Direct Internet Access (DIA) link, SD-WAN fails over to a higher
performance path based on accurate measurements of the path health
quality. |
SD-WAN visibility and monitoring now reflect
the SaaS measurements for latency, jitter, and packet loss for Direct
Internet Access (DIA) links. | |
Application and Link Performance Monitoring (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.2 and later 10.0 releases) | SD-WAN monitoring and visibility now allow
you to better understand the effectiveness of Forward Error Correction
(FEC) and packet duplication for paths with degraded health metrics. |
