The following is a high-level summary of the
Prisma Access
Integration logic:
  1. Prisma Access
    Integration checks for
    Prisma SD-WAN
    Sites and Interfaces tagged with
    Prisma Access
    Integration markers.
  2. Prisma Access
    Integration creates a Site, Interface, Prisma Access Region, and
    Prisma Access
    Bandwidth License plan to connect the
    Prisma SD-WAN
    Tagged interfaces with
    Prisma Access
    instances. This plan is referred to as a ‘Fabric Map.’
  3. Prisma Access
    Integration creates and/or synchronizes Prisma SD-WAN Standard Endpoints, Service Groups, and IKE/IPsec policies on
    Prisma SD-WAN
    and Panorama.
  4. Prisma Access
    Integration begins to create IKE/ IPsec constructs in Panorama that are required to create the ‘Fabric Map’ planned in step #2.
  5. The Integration checks if the Panorama changes differ from the current, committed configuration. If it does, the changes will be committed to Panorama and then pushed to
    Prisma Access
    Remote Networks.
  6. The Integration then checks the
    Prisma Access
    cloud API and creates a list of the previously committed changes that are now ready to be created into tunnels.
  7. The Integration then creates any needed Standard Tunnels on
    Prisma SD-WAN
    and connects the tunnels.
  8. Finally, the Integration cleans up and removes any unused tunnels and/or configurations that are no longer in use as a result changes in the ‘Fabric Map.’
The Integration Logic is re-run every run interval; three (3) minutes by default, unless modified in
config.yml
. If any of the items fail in the integration run, the integration will cease at that point and log an error. The integration logs serve as the best tool to troubleshoot integration issues.
