Create Interfaces and Zones for GlobalProtect

Configure a Layer 3 interface for each portal and/or gateway you plan to deploy.
If the gateway and portal are on the same firewall, you can use a single interface for both.
As a best practice, use static IP addresses for the portal and gateway.
Don't attach an interface management profile that allows HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or SSH on the interface where you have configured a GlobalProtect portal or gateway because this enables access to your management interface from the internet. Follow the Adminstrative Access Best Practices to ensure that you're securing administrative access to your firewalls in a way that will prevent successful attacks.
Select
Network
Interfaces
Ethernet
or
Network
Interfaces
Loopback
, and then select the interface you want to configure for GlobalProtect. In this example, we are configuring
ethernet1/1
as the portal interface.
(
Ethernet only
) Set the
Interface Type
to
Layer3
.
On the
Config
tab, select the
Security Zone
to which the portal or gateway interface belongs, as follows:
Place portals and external gateways in an untrust zone for access by hosts outside your network, such as
l3-untrust
.
Place internal gateways in an internal zone, such as
l3-trust
.
If you have not yet created the zone, add a
New Zone
. In the Zone dialog, define a
Name
for the new zone and then click
OK
.
Select the default
Virtual Router
.
Assign an IP address to the interface:
For an IPv4 address, select
IPv4
and
Add
the IP address and network mask to assign to the interface, for example 203.0.11.100/24.
For an IPv6 address, select
IPv6
,
Enable IPv6 on the interface
, and
Add
the IP address and network mask to assign to the interface, for example 2001:1890:12f2:11::10.1.8.160/80.
Click
OK
to save the interface configuration.
On the firewall(s) hosting GlobalProtect gateway(s), configure the logical tunnel interface that will terminate VPN tunnels established by the GlobalProtect apps.
IP addresses are not required on the tunnel interface unless you require dynamic routing. In addition, assigning an IP address to the tunnel interface can be useful for troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Be sure you enable User-ID in the zone where the VPN tunnels terminate.
Select
Network
Interfaces
Tunnel
, and
Add
a tunnel interface.
In the
Interface Name
field, enter a numeric suffix, such as
.2
.
On the
Config
tab, select the
Security Zone
for VPN tunnel termination, as follows:
To use your trust zone as the termination point for the tunnel, select the zone from the drop-down.
(
Recommended
) To create a separate zone for VPN tunnel termination, add a
New Zone
. In the Zone dialog, define a
Name
for new zone (for example,
corp-vpn
),
Enable User Identification
, and then click
OK
.
Set the
Virtual Router
to
None
.
Assign an IP address to the interface:
For an IPv4 address, select
IPv4
and
Add
the IP address and network mask to assign to the interface, for example 203.0.11.100/24.
For an IPv6 address, select
IPv6
,
Enable IPv6 on the interface
, and
Add
the IP address and network mask to assign to the interface, for example 2001:1890:12f2:11::10.1.8.160/80.
Click
OK
to save the interface configuration.
If you created a separate zone for tunnel termination of VPN connections, create a security policy to enable traffic flow between the VPN zone and your trust zone.
For example, the following policy rule enables traffic between the
corp-vpn
zone and the
l3-trust
zone.

Commit
the configuration.
