Onboard an ECMP Site

316 PIC - Onboard an ECMP Site in a PA panorama managed environment.
ECMP is now enabled by default within the CloudBlade. With the Local-AS configuration of the CloudBlade, the ECMP onboarding of sites is simplified by just having to configure the prisma_access tag on a site, in conjunction with the IPSec Termination Node region tags applied.
This provides the ability to add new links to the site and have them automatically added to the ECMP bundle, providing the site with an additional path to Prisma Access.
ECMP is enabled on all circuits, but can be disabled or modified for a given site. All circuits that have reachability to Prisma Access will automatically be added to the ECMP bundle, with up to four interfaces in the ECMP bundle.
It is recommended to perform the Interface tagging with the relevant IPSec Termination nodes, before applying the site level tag.
  1. From the Prisma SD-WAN web interface, select your site.
  2. Click the extended tags icon on the Edit Site screen to view ECMP.
    When you create an ECMP bundle, the default selection is Auto Detect for both Region and License level sections by default.
    With Aggregate Bandwidth licensing mode, the auto region detection for ECMP bundles is not recommended to be used. There is no current logic today from the CloudBlade and Prisma integration to determine if a region has bandwidth allocated (and IPSec Termination Nodes behind it). The current CloudBlade logic assumes that all regions have bandwidth available.
