Supported Software Versions and Requirements

The Silver Peak-Prisma Access solution is qualified with the following Silver Peak software versions:
  • 8.1.9.0

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. Use Prisma Access to create a remote network and configure IPSec and IKE crypto profiles; then, set up an IPSec tunnel between the SD-WAN edge device and Prisma Access, using the same crypto profiles you used in Prisma Access.
The following table documents the IKE/IPSec crypto settings that are supported with Prisma Access and Silver Peak 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.
