    SD-WAN Devices

    Add SD-WAN branch and hub devices.
    • PanoramaSD-WANDevices
    SD-WAN devices are branches or hubs that make up your VPN cluster and SD-WAN topology.
    Field
    Description
    Name
    Enter a name that identifies the SD-WAN device.
    Type
    Select the type of SD-WAN device:
    • Hub—A centralized firewall deployed at a primary office or location, such as a Data Center or business headquarters, that all branch devices connect to using a VPN connection. Traffic between branches passes through the hub before continuing to the target branch. Branches connect to hubs to gain access to centralized resources at the hub location. The hub device processes traffic, enforces policy rules, and manages link swapping at the primary office or location.
    • Branch—A firewall deployed at a physical branch location that connects to the hub using a VPN connection and provides security at the branch level. The branch connects to the hub for access to centralized resources. The branch device processes traffic, enforces policy rules, and manages link swapping at the branch location.
    Router Name
    Select the virtual or logical router to use for routing between the SD-WAN hub and branches. By default, an sdwan-default virtual router is created and enables Panorama to automatically push router configurations.
    Site
    Enter a user-friendly site name that identifies the hub or branch. For example, enter the city name where the branch device is deployed.
    Link Tag
    (PAN-OS 10.0.3 and later releases) For a hub, select the Link Tag that you created for a hub virtual interface so the hub can participate in DIA AnyPath. Auto VPN applies this link tag to the whole hub virtual interface, not an individual link. You reference this Link Tag in the Traffic Distribution Profile to indicate the order of failover to this hub virtual interface. On the branch device, Auto VPN uses this tag to populate the Link Tag field on the SD-WAN virtual interface that terminates on the hub device.
    Zone Internet
    Add one or more security zones to identify traffic going to and coming from untrusted sources.
    Zone Hub
    Add one or more security zones to identify traffic going to and coming from the SD-WAN hub devices.
    Zone Branch
    Add one or more security zones to identify traffic going to and coming from the SD-WAN branch devices.
    Zone Internal
    Add one or more security zones to identify traffic going to and coming from the trusted devices on the corporate network.
    BGP Tab
    BGP
    Enable BGP.
    Router ID
    Specify the BGP router ID. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) router ID must be unique between all routers.
    Use the Loopback Address as the Router ID.
    Loopback Address
    Specify a static loopback IPv4 address for BGP peering.
    AS Number
    Enter the Autonomous System number to define a commonly defined routing policy to the internet. The AS number must unique for every hub and branch location.
    Use a 4-byte private BGP AS number to not interfere with any publicly routable AS number.
    Redistribution Profile Name
    Select or create a redistribution profile to control which local prefixes are communicated to the hub router from the branch. By default, all locally connected internet prefixes are advertised to the hub location.
    Palo Alto Networks does not redistribute the branch office default route(s) learned from the ISP.
    Upstream NAT Tab
    Upstream NAT
    Enable Upstream NAT.
    SD-WAN Interface
    Select an interface configured for SD-WAN.
    NAT IP Address Type
    Select one of the following:
    • Static IP—For an SD-WAN hub or branch that is behind a device performing NAT for the hub or branch. You must specify the IP address or FQDN of the public-facing interface on that upstream NAT-performing device, so that Auto VPN Configuration can use that address as the tunnel endpoint of the hub or branch. Select IP Address and enter an IPv4 address without a subnet mask, or select FQDN.
    • DDNS—For an SD-WAN branch that is behind a device that is performing NAT for the branch. Indicates the IP address for the interface on the NAT device is obtained from the Palo Alto Networks DDNS service.
    VPN Tunnel Tab
    Copy ToS Header
    (PAN-OS 10.2.1 and later 11.0 releases) Copy the (Type of Service) ToS field (ToS bits or Differentiated Services Code Point [DSCP] markings) from the inner IPv4 header to the VPN header of the encapsulated packets in order to preserve the original ToS information. This also copies the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field.
