Integrate Prisma Access with Nuage SD-WAN (Panorama)

Complete the following task to configure the remote network connection as a site-to-site IPSec tunnel.

Select NetworkNetwork ProfilesIKE CryptoAdd and Add an IKE crypto profile for the IPSec tunnel.

Make sure you have specified the Template of Remote_Network_Template before starting this task.
Give the profile a name and specify IKE settings.

Make a note of these settings; you specify the same settings when you create the IPSec tunnel in the Nuage Networks SD-WAN.
Select NetworkNetwork ProfilesIPSec CryptoAdd and Add a new IPSec crypto profile.
Specify a name for the profile and specify IPSec crypto parameters.

Make a note of these parameters; you specify these same parameters when you configure the Nuage Networks side of the remote network tunnel in a later task.
Select NetworkNetwork ProfilesIKE Gateways and Add a new IKE gateway.
Specify a Name, Version, Peer IP Address Type, and Authentication, and specify a Peer Identification that will be synchronized with the Nuage Networks configuration.

Make note of the of the User FQDN (email address) that you use for the Peer Identification and the Pre-Shared key you use; you must match these settings for the Nuage Networks side of the connection in step 6 when you Set Up the Remote Network Tunnel in Nuage Networks.
Click the Advanced Options tab and make sure that Enable Passive Mode and Enable NAT Traversal are selected.

The Nuage Network Services Gateway (NSG) initiates the IKE negotiation, and allows the negotiation to occur even if Nuage Networks side is behind NAT.
Select NetworkIPSec Tunnels and Add an IPSec tunnel.
Select the IKE Gateway and IPSec Crypto Profile you created earlier in this task.
Select the Proxy IDs tab and create a default route for all local and remote prefixes.

Creating this route ensures that all prefixes in the VPN use this IPSec tunnel.
Add a new remote network connection.
1. Select PanoramaCloud ServicesConfigurationRemote Networks and Add the connection.
2. Enter a Name, select the Bandwidth and Region, and select the IPSec Tunnel you specified in a previous step, and specify a route to the Nuage Networks SD-WAN.
  
  You cannot change the name of this tunnel after you create it.
  
  This example specifies a Static Route to the Nuage Networks SD-WAN with an IP address of 10.61.0.0/16.
Commit the configuration changes to Panorama and push the configuration out to Prisma Access for remote networks.
1. Click CommitCommit to Panorama.
2. Click CommitCommit and Push. Click Edit SelectionsPrisma Access, and select both Prisma Access for remote networks and Prisma Access for service setup to push the configuration out to the service.
3. Click OK, then click Commit and Push.
  
  Prisma Access displays a success page after the commit succeeds.
Make a note of the Service IP address of the Prisma Access side of the tunnel. To find this address in Panorama, select PanoramaCloud ServicesStatusNetwork Details, click the Remote Networks radio button, and find the address in the Service IP Address field.

Set Up the Remote Network Tunnel in Nuage Networks

After you configure the remote network tunnel in Prisma Access, configure the tunnel in Nuage Networks by completing the following task.

Note that Dead Peer Detection (DPD) is only configured in Nuage Networks. No DPD configuration is required in Prisma Access because the NSG is the DPD initiator and Prisma Access can only reply to requests.

In your organization, create the Gateway using the Nuage Networks IKE gateway object.

In the IP Address field, enter the Service IP address that you retrieved after you completed the setup of the remote network tunnel in Prisma Access.
Define the remote subnet for which traffic will be sent to the gateway.

The IKE gateway connection uses the underlay breakout mechanism as shown in the following diagram:

All traffic to Prisma Access is through the underlay. If you enable underlay, and if the remote subnet associated with Prisma Access matches the destination IP in the customer packet, then the Nuage Networks SD-WAN sends the packet to Prisma Access. If the destination IP does not match, the SD-WAN sends the packet to internet breakout using underlay breakout and port address translation (PAT) rules.
Specify a default route to the gateway so that the network sends all internet traffic to Prisma Access.
Create an IKE encryption profile.

This profile must match the values that you specified in the Prisma Access IPSec configuration.
Create an IKE gateway profile.
1. Enter a Name for the gateway profile.
2. Select Check anti-replay.
3. Select the Service class.
4. Select the Gateway and Encryption Profile, using the settings you created for Prisma Access.
The example in the following screenshot uses one pre-shared key per connection, which means that the IKE Gateway profile won't use a pre-shared key object, and the Authentication Method field is empty.
Associate the remote network connection with the NSG uplink port.

You associate the remote network connection with the Nuage Networks NSG at the uplink VLAN level. This association contains an NSG identifier in RFC 822 format and includes the pre-shared key that is used for the connection.

Check the status of the tunnel connection by entering the following command.

A status of UP indicates that the connection is successful.

Nuage Networks Dead Peer Detection and Internet Probing

To detect issues with an IKE gateway for the remote network connection, Nuage Networks VNS uses the Dead Peer Detection (DPD) mechanism, in addition to using a probing mechanism to probe internet services.

The probes are divided into two hierarchical levels: Tier1 and Tier2. Nuage Networks initiates the probe. The Tier 1 probe tests the connectivity of the remote network connection to Prisma Access and the Tier 2 probe tests the connectivity to the internet.

Each connection is composed of an Active IPSec tunnel (priority 100) and a backup IPSec tunnel (priority 200). The HTTP probes run on both connections.

Tier 1 Probe—Each Tier1 probe is associated to a weight (between 1 and 100%). For Tier1 to fail, the sum of the Tier1 probes that fail must be equal to or greater than 100%. If the Tier1 probe goes down, Tier 2 probe monitoring also goes down.
Tier 2 Probe—The Tier 2 probe uses round-robin monitoring across a set of internet FQDNs. Consecutive probe tests must fail for the Tier2 probe to fail.

Create an HTTP Probe Object

To create an HTTP probe object, complete the following task.

In the Nuage Networks UI, select Performance Monitors.
Create a performance monitor with the following values:
- Specify a Hold Down Timer value that defines how long the VSD waits for a response before it determines that the performance monitor is unsuccessful and switches to the backup tunnel. The default is 1000 ms.
- Specify a Probe Type of HTTP.
After you click Create, the Nuage VNS creates two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2. There is no option to add or Remove tiers.
Create Tier 1 URLs, specifying the following values:
- Down Threshold Count—Defines the number of consecutive failed probes before the VSD declares a state change and raises an alarm.
- HTTP Request Type—Specifies the HTTP request method used for the HTTP ping.
- URL Weight—Defines the percent weight for the URL within Tier 1. The sum of the URL weights in Tier 1 cannot exceed 100.
- URL—Defines the HTTP or HTTPS target. Specify one URL up to 2000 characters long.
- Rate—Defines the rate at which the probe sends probe packets to the destination target.
- Timeout (ms)—Defines how long the VSD waits for a response before considering a probe unsuccessful.
Edit Tier 2 options to change the interval and timeout values of the Tier 2 probe by specifying the following values:
- Interval (s)—Defines the rate at which the probe sends packets to the destination target.
- Probe Timeout (ms)—This parameter defines how long the VSD waits for a response before it determines a probe to be unsuccessful.
- Down Threshold Count—This parameter defines the number of consecutive failed probes before the VSD declares a state change and raises an alarm.
Create Tier 2 URLs with the following values:
- HTTP Request Type—Specifies the HTTP request method that is used for the HTTP ping.
- URL—Defines the HTTP or HTTPS target. Specify one URL up to 2000 characters long.
After you create the HTTP probe object with Tier 1 and Tier 2 information, associate the probe to the active and backup IPSec tunnel.
The following condition must apply to associate a probe with an IKE gateway connection:
- The remote subnet associated with IKE gateway must be 0.0.0.0/0.
- You must associate all local subnets with the uplink IPSec connection.
If you do not meet the preceding conditions, tunnel association fails.

Troubleshoot the Remote Network

Prisma Access provides logs that provide you with the status of remote tunnels and the status of each tunnel. To view these logs in Panorama, select MonitorLogsSystem.

To debug tunnel issues, you can filter for tunnel-specific logs by using the object identifier corresponding to that tunnel. The following figures show errors related to tunnel misconfiguration and negotiation issues.
