Features Introduced in Prisma Access 2.1 Innovation
This section lists the new features that are available
in Prisma Access (Panorama Managed) 2.1, along with upgrade information
and considerations if you are upgrading from a previous Prisma Access
version.
Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Preferred and Innovation
There are two Prisma Access 2.1 plugin versions:
- Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Preferredruns on the PAN-OS version 9.1.7 dataplane, which is the recommended version for Prisma Access 2.0 and 2.1. This is the same dataplane as that running in 2.0 Preferred.
- Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Innovationruns on the PAN-OS 10.0.5 dataplane and unlocks the latest features available with the PAN-OS 10.0.5 dataplane, including all the features in the Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Innovation version.
Upgrade Considerations for Prisma Access 2.1 Innovation
If you are upgrading from 2.0 Innovation to 2.1 Innovation,
Palo Alto Networks will need to upgrade your dataplane from 10.0.3
to 10.0.5. Be sure that you have signed up for alerts in the Prisma Access app.
Palo Alto Networks will notify you 21 days in advance for the available
dates and time windows for the dataplane upgrade. After Palo Alto
Networks upgrades your dataplane, you can continue to use the 2.0
Innovation version of the Cloud Services plugin until you download
and install the 2.1 Innovation version of the Cloud Services plugin.
If your deployment is on 2.0 Preferred and you would like
to upgrade to 2.1 Innovation, reach out to your Palo Alto Networks
Account representative and submit a request. The request will be
reviewed internally and, if approved, your deployment will be upgraded
to 2.1-Innovation.
New Features—Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Innovation
The following table describes the new features introduced
in Prisma Access version 2.1 Innovation.
Prisma Access supports GlobalProtect versions 5.1 and 5.2. For
a list of the Panorama software versions that are supported with
Prisma Access, see Minimum Required Panorama Software
Versions in the Palo Alto Networks Compatibility
Matrix.
The Cloud Services Plugin 2.1 Innovation version includes the
following new features.
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Licensing Updates | If you have activated a new Prisma Access
deployment with a global worldwide presence, you can make use of
the new Global Evaluation option to evaluate Prisma Access at global
scale. |
Prisma SD-WAN CloudBlade Thin Client Integration with
Cloud Services Plugin | For Prisma SD-WAN integrations
with Prisma Access, the Cloud Services plugin includes a built-in
CloudBlade Version 3.0 thin client that eliminates the requirement
to have a Docker container host or Kubernetes environment to host
a separate CloudBlade. This integration enables easier onboarding
of Prisma SD-WAN devices using remote network connections. This integration
will be included in Prisma Access 2.1 at a later date. |
Support for Asymmetric Routing Across Multiple Service
Connections | Using Backbone Routing options,
you can specify Prisma Access to allow asymmetric flows through
the Prisma Access backbone. The ability to allow asymmetric flows
across multiple service connections is useful in cases where you
want to use ECMP or another load balancing mechanism for service
connections from your CPE. |
Trusted (TLS) API Endpoints | Prisma Access API endpoints use a new SSL/TLS
server certificate from a trusted third-party certificate authority
(CA), which enables you to retrieve the Prisma Access public
and infrastructure addresses from an API URL that uses SSL/TLS
and a trusted certificate. The new API endpoint is api.prod.datapath.prismaaccess.com .If
you are using the current API to retrieve Prisma Access public and infrastructure
IP addresses, that functionality is not affected. |
WildFire Australia Cloud Support | To allow you to adhere to data sovereignty
and residency laws as well as established data protection and privacy
regulations, Prisma Access supports the use of the WildFire Australia
Cloud (au.wildfire.paloaltonetworks.com). The following locations
map to the WildFire Australia Cloud:
