Connect a Single Prisma SD-WAN Site to Prisma Access

Learn how to integrate a single
Prisma SD-WAN
site withPrisma Access.
Use this workflow to onboard a single
Prisma SD-WAN
site to Prisma Access.
  1. Configure SASE connectivity.
    This is a one-time activity.
    1. Select
      Manage
      Resources
      SASE Connectivity
      .
    2. Enter an
      ION Peering Default Local AS Number
      .
      The BGP Local AS number is defined to quickly on-board ECMP sites. This can be a 16-bit AS number, but private BGP AS number(s) are recommended.
    3. Specify a
      Tunnel Inner IP Pool
      using IP/Mask notation.
      This IP Pool should be unused or unique across the entire network and should not be used by the Palo Alto Service Infrastructure Subnet.
      The number of tunnels that can be created in the
      Prisma SD-WAN
      Fabric to
      Prisma Access
      are directly limited by this configuration. Each tunnel will use a /31 subnet from this pool.
    4. (Optional)
      Select a
      Security Zone
      to bind the tunnel(s) created in the onboarding process to the selected zone.
      If you don’t select a Security Zone, the created tunnels will not be bound to a security zone.
  2. Select

  4. Select a
    Prisma Access Location
    .
    Prisma Access
    recommends the first location in the list closest to the
    Prisma SD-WAN
    site address. The recommendation is based on the address (latitude and longitude values) entered during site creation in Prisma SD-WAN.
  5. Select the corresponding
    IPSec Termination Node
    .
    For every 1 Gbps of bandwidth allocated to a
    Prisma Access
    region, a new Termination Node is spun up; you can accordingly select a different termination node.
  6. Click
    Connect Sites
    .
    You can view the status of the connection in the
    SASE Connection
    column.
    For each
    Prisma SD-WAN
    circuit for a site, a corresponding tunnel to
    Prisma Access
    is created in this process. You can have a maximum of 4 circuits connecting to
    Prisma Access
    for a site.
