Where Can I Use This? | What Do I Need? |
---|---|
|
|
Support for Layer 3 Loopback Interfaces
Layer 3 Loopback Interface is a powerful new feature for ION devices that
provides a virtual interface that is always reachable for management and
troubleshooting operations. With this feature you can configure an IP address that
is not tied to a physical interface and enable services like SSH, and Syslog without
relying on physical LAN or WAN interfaces, which may be subject to customer
infrastructure changes or security considerations.
The primary use case for L3 Loopback include management traffic
segregation, SD-WAN tunnel establishment over non-routable MPLS WAN interfaces, and
BGP routing protocol support.
Minimum device software version required is 6.5.2.
SASE Health Dashboard
The SASE Health Dashboard displays
detailed site and data center status and connectivity. It enables you to monitor
the status and connectivity of your remote sites and data centers. The dashboard
provides a map view showing the locations and status of sites and Prisma Access
locations, as well as detailed metrics on on-site connectivity, experience
scores across networks, and application availability. You can use the SASE
Health dashboard to identify any issues with remote site connectivity or
performance. The map view gives you an overview of your network topology, while
the detailed metrics and trend charts allow you to drill down into specific
sites or regions. This dashboard is available to SASE (Prisma Access and Prisma
SD-WAN) deployments only.
Enhanced Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Process
The Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) process allows users to
replace failed or malfunctioning ION devices with new or reused, functional ION
devices at a branch or a data center site. A device can fail or malfunction for
several reasons, such as chip failure, misconfiguration, or daily wear and tear. If
the device is unusable due to a malfunction or overall failure, the RMA process can
be used to replace it.
When replacing an ION device, you can
opt for a replacement with a like-like (same model) or a like-unlike (different
model). This flexibility allows you to select a replacement device that best suits
your needs. Remember that multiple replacement devices might be available, so choose
the one with the device status online.
With this enhancement, we can now replace old model devices (ION 1000, ION
2000, ION 3000, ION 7000, and ION 9000) with new model devices (ION 1200, ION
1200-S, ION 3200, ION 5200, and ION 9200).
Enhanced DNS Probing over Standard VPN
The Enable DNS Liveliness in Tunnel feature
improves HTTP probe reliability in ION devices by performing DNS lookups directly
over the Service Link tunnel instead of relying on WAN interface DNS servers.
Previously, ION devices sent DNS requests to all interfaces and used the first
response received, which could lead to incorrect probe targeting or failures due to
misconfigured or unreachable DNS servers. With this enhancement, DNS resolution
occurs over the service tunnel, ensuring more accurate and reliable HTTP probes
while eliminating dependency on WAN interface DNS servers.
Enhanced Interface Configuration View
The Prisma SD-WAN web interface is modified to improve the user experience
of interfaces configuration and the usability of interface configurations between
old and new platforms. The new user interface introduces a redesigned interface
configuration page that utilizes full-screen width and height, implements a tabbed
layout for sub interface and PPPoE configurations, and includes various user
interface improvements, such as side panels for IP configuration and NAT pools.
These changes are designed to enhance usability and provide a more consistent
experience across platforms.
Enhanced Support for Prisma SD-WAN Features for FedRamp Moderate Environment
Prisma SD-WAN now supports the following features in a FedRAMP Moderate environment.
- Strata Cloud Manager User Interface
- BGPv6 of IPv4 - Core Peering
- Virtual Routing and Forwarding
- L2 Switching for ION 3200
- Used-for-HA Capability on Layer 3 Interfaces
- IPv6 BGP Support
Device-ID Enforcement
Branch security is essential and implementing Device-ID-based policies play a key
role in strengthening our defenses. By integrating these policies with App-ID and
User-ID, we create a comprehensive security framework that effectively protects
against threats. Earlier, with the PA/SASE license, Prisma SD-WAN customers could
get enhanced visibility into OT, IoT, and endpoint devices at their branches. Now,
these device IDs can be seamlessly incorporated into security policies, enabling
enforcement based on specific device IDs. This advancement delivers unparalleled
security and granular control over path selection.

Support.
