SD-WAN Support for Layer 3 Subinterfaces

SD-WAN supports Layer 3 subinterfaces for traffic segmentation.
Firewalls running PAN-OS 10.1 and SD-WAN Plugin 2.1.0 support SD-WAN on Layer 3 subinterfaces so that the firewall can segment traffic using VLAN tags. The following task shows how to create a Layer3 subinterface that uses a static IP address and how to create one that uses DHCP to get its address. It shows how to assign a VLAN tag to the subinterface and enable SD-WAN on the subinterface. Create an SD-WAN interface profile to define each ISP connection and assign the profile to the corresponding subinterface (a virtual SD-WAN interface).
If you configure SD-WAN Layer 3 subinterfaces on VM-Series firewalls, the VMware configuration must have respective portgroups attached to those interfaces that allow all VLANs.
  1. Create an SD-WAN Interface Profile for each ISP connection (subinterface).
  2. Configure a Layer 3 subinterface that uses a static IP address.
    1. Select
      Network
      Interfaces
      Ethernet
      and in the
      Template
      field, select a template.
    2. Select an interface.
    3. For
      Interface Type
      , select
      Layer3
      and click
      OK
      .
    4. Highlight the interface and click
      Add Subinterface
      at the bottom of the screen.
    5. Continue to configure the subinterface.
  3. Alternatively, Configure a Layer 3 subinterface that uses DHCP to get its address.
    1. Select
      Network
      Interfaces
      Ethernet
      and in the
      Template
      field, select a template stack (not a template).
    2. Select an interface.
    3. For
      Interface Type
      , select
      Layer3
      and click
      OK
      .
    4. Highlight the interface and click
      Add Subinterfaces
      at the bottom of the screen.
    5. Highlight the subinterface and click
      Override
      .
    6. Continue to configure the subinterface, selecting the DDNS vendor as
      Palo Alto Networks DDNS
      .
  4. Apply an SD-WAN Interface Profile to the subinterface.
  5. Repeat the prior steps to add more subinterfaces to the interface.
  6. Commit
    .
