Citrix SD-WAN Solution Guide

The following sections describe how you use the Citrix SD-WAN with Prisma Access to provide next-generation security on internet-bound traffic:
If you have any issues after you complete these tasks, Troubleshoot the Citrix SD-WAN Remote Network.

Supported Software Versions and Requirements

The Citrix SD-WAN-Prisma Access solution is qualified with the following Citrix SD-WAN software versions:
  • 10.1
To use this Solution Guide, you need a knowledge of SD-WAN routing principles.

Supported IKE and IPSec Cryptographic Profiles

You onboard your SD-WAN edge devices using a remote network connection between the edge device at the branch site, HQ, or hub to Prisma Access. To do this you will Onboard a Remote Network (Cloud Management), ensuring that you use supported IKE and IPSec cryptographic settings detailed here.
The following table documents the IKE/IPSec crypto settings that are supported with Prisma Access and the Citrix SD-WAN.
A check mark indicates that the profile or architecture type is supported; a dash (—) indicates that it is not supported. Default and Recommended settings are noted in the table.

SD-WAN Deployment Architectures Supported by Citrix

Citrix supports the following deployment architectures for use with Prisma Access. a dash (—) indicates that the deployment is not supported.
Use Case
Architecture
Supported?
Securing traffic from each branch site with 1 WAN link (Type 1)
Yes
Securing branch and HQ sites with active/backup SD-WAN connections
Securing Traffic from Branch to internet was Supported through Secure Web Gateway (SWG).
A pair of Citrix SD-WAN appliances secure traffic from branch to branch; SWGs are not in this traffic path.
Yes
Securing branch and HQ sites with active/active SD-WAN connections
You can configure Citrix tunnels in an active/active configuration if the traffic that each tunnel carries is distinctive (for example, if you specify traffic in one subnet to use one tunnel and traffic in another subnet to use another tunnel).
Yes
Securing branch and HQ sites with SD-WAN edge devices in HA mode
Yes
Securing SD-WAN deployments with Regional Hub/POP architecture (Type 2)
Yes
