Limitations

Limitations related to SD-WAN plugin.
The following are limitations associated with SD-WAN Plugin:

Limitations Introduced in SD-WAN Plugin 3.0

Issue ID
Description
SD-WAN Plugin 3.0 does not function with the Advanced Routing Engine; do not enable Advanced Routing.

Limitations Introduced in SD-WAN Plugin 2.2

Issue ID
Description
Prisma Access Hub Support(SD-WAN plugin 2.2 and later versions)
(SD-WAN plugin 2.2 and later versions) When you enable Zone to PA Hub, first ensure that your firewall supports enough zones. Because when the Zone to PA Hub predefined zone is configured, the SD-WAN plugin consumes one zone from the total available zones from the firewall. Therefore, the lower-end firewall models that support up to 15 zones will have an impact on the available zones when you configure Zone to PA Hub.

Description
PLUG-9544
When you use SD-WAN plugin 2.2 and later releases to onboard PAN-OS firewalls to Prisma Access, one of the first steps on Panorama is to specify the BGP Prisma Address Pool. If you subsequently change the BGP Prisma Address Pool, the change is not reflected on the Prisma Access firewall.
PLUG-5953
Installation of SD-WAN Plugin 2.0 requires Panorama to be running PAN-OS 10.0.2 or a later 10.0 release and should fail on a Panorama running PAN-OS 9.1.x. The issue is that installation of SD-WAN Plugin 2.0 is currently being allowed on a Panorama running PAN-OS 9.1.4.
PAN-156322
If you configure a PA-220 firewall as an SD-WAN branch or hub with an Error Correction Profile for FEC or packet duplication, the branch or hub achieves little or no performance gain due to the CPU limitations on a PA-220 firewall.
PAN-149708
Adaptive SaaS monitoring using a SaaS Quality profile (ObjectsSD-WAN Link ManagementSaaS Quality Profile) is supported only for TCP SaaS applications. Adaptive SaaS monitoring is not supported for any SSL-proxied traffic.
PAN-127813
In the current release, SD-WAN auto-provisioning configures hubs and branches in a hub and spoke model, where branches do not communicate with each other. Expected branch routes are for generic prefixes, which can be configured in the hub and advertised to all b branches. Branches with unique prefixes are not published up to the hub.
Workaround: Add any specific prefixes for branches to the hub advertise-list configuration.

Limitations Introduced in SD-WAN Plugin 1.0

Issue ID
Description
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) Direct Internet Access (DIA) failover to MPLS is for traffic with new sessions, not for existing sessions.
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) All firewalls in a VPN cluster must have one or more routes to reach the MPLS interface IP addresses on a peer firewall.
PAN-224568
The SD-WAN supports point-to-point VPLS deployment only. For such point-to-point connections, you must set the default gateway to the IP address of the connecting peer.
PAN-169169
For multi-vsys firewalls, all SD-WAN enabled interfaces and configurations must be configured on vsys1.
SD-WAN does not support an SD-WAN configuration across multiple virtual systems of a multi-VSYS firewall.
PAN-142282
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) The first SYN packet for FTP data over MPLS is always dropped in FTP active mode only.
PAN-142213
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) The VPN Data Tunnel Support setting in an SD-WAN interface profile must be the same on all devices in a cluster: disabled or enabled. Otherwise, hub-initiated traffic will not work, nor will traffic going from a branch to another branch through the hub.
PAN-142180
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) When VPN Data Tunnel Support is disabled, branch-to-branch traffic doesn’t work if BranchA-to-Hub selects a tunnel over DIA link and Hub-to-BranchB selects the MPLS link.
PAN-127550
Panorama supports only incremental additions for CSV imports when the SD-WAN plugin is enabled. Devices already added are not removed when importing a new CSV device list. If needed, delete devices manually in the web interface or CLI.
PAN-127432
(SD-WAN Failover from a DIA Link to an MPLS Link) A predict session cannot be matched for traffic through a tunnel: FTP data sometimes fails on firewalls with multiple data planes. This limitation exists for traffic between a branch and hubs, including DIA traffic that fails over to an MPLS tunnel.
