Internal Gateway (
Strata Cloud Manager
)

Learn how to set up the
Prisma Access
internal gateway and its requirements.
Complete the following steps to set up the
Prisma Access
internal gateway.
  1. Notice that there are no internal host detection and internal gateway configurations at present.
  2. Make a note of the
    Remote Networks DNS IP Address
    from
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    Prisma Access
    .
  3. Make a note of the
    Gateway FQDNs
    from
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    GlobalProtect
    Infrastructure
    Infrastructure Settings
    Gateway FQDNs
    .
  4. Select
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    Remote Networks
    Advanced Settings
    .
  5. Edit the settings of
    Prisma Access
    Internal Gateway
    to enable the internal gateway and
    Save
    the changes.

    Optional

    Enable Internal Host Detection
    for IPv4 if you don't want to use your own DNS server. You can enable the internal host detection only after you select
    Enable Internal Gateway
    .
    Prisma Access
    supports internal host detection only for the
    Always On
    connect method.
    When you enable the internal gateway, the remote network instances act as internal gateways. When you enable the internal host detection,
    Prisma Access
    creates PTR records on the remote network DNS proxy servers for the internal host detection process.
  6. Select
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    GlobalProtect
    GlobalProtect App
    .
  7. Select an app setting and view the internal host detection details and internal gateway details.
    When you enable the internal gateway and internal host detection in step 5, Prisma Access enables IPv4 internal host detection and internal gateway here as well.
    Prisma Access
    populates the
    Remote Networks DNS IP Address
    value, from step 2, as the IP address.
    Note that IPv6 internal host detection on
    Prisma Access
    DNS proxies isn't supported.
    You can't remove this
    Prisma Access
    Internal Gateway
    entry. However, you can add your self-deployed internal gateways. You can deploy your own DNS servers in the internal network for internal host detection, but ensure to add PTR records so that the internal host detection is possible.
    Prisma Access
    appends the
    Gateway FQDNs
    value, from step 3, to the address.
    You can view the DNS proxy server IP address details by selecting
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    Prisma Access
    .
    If you enable
    Internal Host Detection
    , verify that the DNS resolution is working, perform a reverse DNS lookup from your internal network to DNS proxy server IP, and ensure it returns an FQDN starting with
    any-igw
    .
  8. Push
    the changes to mobile users and remote networks at the same time.
  9. Log into the endpoint.
    When you connect to GlobalProtect, first you authenticate with the GlobalProtect portal. The internal host detection triggers GlobalProtect to connect to the internal gateway. Then, as GlobalProtect agent continues to operate in the non-tunnel mode, the second authentication appears and submits the host information to the internal gateway on remote networks.
