Configure the VeloCloud Remote Network

The following section describes the steps you perform to integrate a VeloCloud SD-WAN with Prisma Access, including an overview of the VeloCloud-Prisma Access integration.

Secure VeloCloud SD-WAN with Prisma Access Overview

To onboard a VeloCloud SD-WAN with Prisma Access, you configure a remote network tunnel in Prisma Access. The VeloCloud SD-WAN device sends traffic through the remote network to Prisma Access, which allows Prisma Access to protect your internet-directed traffic, including resources such as SaaS applications or publicly accessible partner applications.
You can secure VeloCloud SD-WAN deployments by onboarding the remote network using the VeloCloud Edge device or VeloCloud Gateway.
VeloCloud edge devices are plug and play devices that you can install in remote sites. You can connect one or more devices to an aggregation point, known as an
SD-WAN headend
. Use a VeloCloud gateway as the SD-WAN headend.
In the VeloCloud SD-WAN fabric, you can configure multiple sites that connect to one gateway, a single site to connect to one gateway, or multiple sites that connect to multiple gateways, as shown in the following figure.
You can connect one or more remote network connections to a cloud headend. To simplify setup, specify static routing and configure a separate subnet for each remote network location you onboard.
Size the bandwidth of the remote network connection based on the traffic from the branches that are connected to the cloud headend. You can scale the VeloCloud SD-WAN with Prisma Access in multiple ways; for example, you can connect multiple gateways to one remote network, or connect one gateway to multiple remote networks.
Prisma Access protects your internet-based resources, including SaaS applications and content. The following figure shows a sample VeloCloud gateway-Prisma Access deployment.

Configure the Remote Network Connection in Prisma Access

To begin configuration of a VeloCloud-Prisma Access deployment, create the Prisma Access remote network connection and configure IKE and IPSec parameters for the IPSec tunnel between Prisma Access and VeloCloud.
This procedure assumes that you have already completed the following prerequisites:
  • You have made a note of the subnets you will use for each remote network gateway.
  • You have made a note of the IP address for the VeloCloud SD-WAN device. You obtain this information from the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.
    You use the IP address of the gateway address to configure the IKE gateway.
    • Choose a
      Prisma Access Location
      that is close to the remote network location that you want to onboard.
    • When creating the IPSec tunnel, use a
      Branch Device Type
      of
      Other Devices
      .
    • Enter a
      Static IP
      address that matches the VeloCloud SD-WAN device’s IP address.
      You obtain this address from the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.
    • Enter a
      Pre-shared key
      for symmetric authentication across the tunnel.
    • Choose a
      Local Identification
      of
      None
      and an
      IKE Peer Identification
      of
      FQDN (hostname)
      ; then, enter an FQDN.
      Make a note of the of the
      Pre-Shared key
      and
      FQDN
      that you use for the
      Peer Identification
      ; you match these settings when you configure the VeloCloud cloud gateway.
  1. Select
    IPSec Advanced Options
    and
    Create New
    to create a new IPSec crypto profile for the remote network tunnel using the recommended settings.
  2. Select
    IKE Advanced Options
    and
    Create New
    to create a new IKE cryptographic profile for the remote network tunnel.
    • Be sure to use crypto values that are supported with Velocloud and make a note of the values you use.
    • Enable
      IKE NAT Traversal
      (Enabled by default).
  3. Set up routing for the remote network.
    Set Up
    Routing and
    Add
    the IP subnets for Static Routing.
    Add
    a
    Branch IP Subnet
    Choose Static Routing and
    Add
    a subnet you have reserved for this remote network connection.
  4. Push your configuration changes.
    1. Return to
      Manage
      Service Setup
      Remote Networks
      and select
      Push Config
      Push
      .
    2. Select
      Remote Networks
      .
    3. Push
      your changes.
  5. Make a note of the
    Service IP
    of the Prisma Access side of the tunnel. To find this address in Cloud Managed Prisma Access, select
    Manage
    Service Setup
    Remote Networks
    , click the
    Remote Networks
    . Look for the
    Service IP
    field corresponding to the remote network configuration you created.
