  • Prisma Access (Panorama Managed)
To complete the mobile user setup for Prisma Access, you create a GlobalProtect gateway and add that gateway to the Prisma Access portal. You configure the gateway in the VM-series firewall (Router 1) instance in VPC 1 in mainland China. After configuration is complete, mobile users in mainland China connect to the Prisma Access portal, which directs them to the GlobalProtect gateway in mainland China.
To configure the gateway and portal for a mainland China deployment, compete the following steps.
  1. Add a GlobalProtect gateway and give it a name.
    1. Select an
      Interface
      of
      ethernet1/1.
    2. Add
      an
      Authentication
      method, specifying the
      Authentication Profile
      you created when you configured the router instances
    3. Configure
      Tunnel Settings
      by enabling
      Tunnel Mode
      and selecting
      tunnel.1
      as the
      Tunnel Interface
      .
    4. For the
      Client IP Pool
      , select the IP address and subnet that you specified for the
      tunnel.1
      tunnel interface (192.168.200.0/24 in this example).
    5. For
      Network Services
      , select the primary DNS IP address of the
      tunnel.1
      interface as the
      Primary DNS
      IP address.
  2. Add and configure a DNS proxy to provide DNS services to mobile users.
    1. Select
      Network
      DNS Proxy
      and
      Add
      a DNS proxy.
    2. Specify the IP address of the Alibaba Cloud DNS server as the
      Primary
      server.
    3. To configure a different DNS proxy server to resolve internal domains,
      Add
      one or more
      DNS Proxy Rules
      and specify the
      Primary
      IP address of your organization’s DNS server and your organization’s
      Domain Name
      .
    4. Save
      and
      Commit
      your changes.
    5. (
      Optional
      ) If redundancy is required, add one more VM-series instance as a GlobalProtect gateway and a router instance Router 2 in Alibaba Cloud. You can deploy this second set in the same or different regions and it will operate as an additional GlobalProtect gateway in China.
