Use a Service Connection to Enable Access between Mobile Users and Remote Networks

Enable a connection between Mobile Users and Remote Networks with service connections.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Prisma Access license that includes Net Interconnect for Site-to-Site and User-to-Site Access
To configure a service connection to connect mobile users and remote networks, Add a service connectionusing the following values:
  • Specify a Region that is close to your mobile users.
  • Add an IPSec Tunnel and IKE Gateway, using placeholder values.
  • Add placeholder Corporate Subnets.
    Since Prisma Access doesn’t route any traffic through this tunnel, any value that does not conflict or overlap with other configured subnets is valid.
The following example shows a Prisma Access deployment with mobile users in different geographical areas and remote networks. The remote network connections are connected in a mesh network in the Prisma Access infrastructure, but the mobile users cannot connect to the remote networks. In addition, the mobile users in different geographic areas cannot connect to each other without a service connection.
After you add a service connection, the service connection connects the mobile users and the remote networks in a hub-and-spoke network.
Another case where a service connection of this type is useful is when the service connection is far from the mobile users. The following figure shows an example of this network deployment.
Adding a second service connection that is closer to the mobile users creates a more efficient network between the mobile users and remote networks.
