Connect a Single Prisma SD-WAN Site to Prisma Access

Learn how to integrate a single Prisma SD-WAN site with Prisma Access.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Strata Cloud Manager
  • Prisma SD-WAN
    • Active Prisma SD-WAN license
    • Prisma SD-WAN AppFabric deployed at one or more locations.
    • Physical and/or virtual ION devices running software versions 5.6.X or higher.
  • Prisma Access Cloud Managed
    • Prisma Access with Aggregate Bandwidth; the bandwidth licensing mode must be enabled per compute location on the Prisma Access Cloud Managed portal.
    • Identification of the IPSec Termination Nodes within Prisma Access for connectivity.
  • Ensure that you have Prisma Access (Cloud Managed) and Prisma SD-WAN in the same TSG.
Use this workflow to onboard a single Prisma SD-WAN site to Prisma Access.
  1. Configure SASE connectivity.
    This is a one-time activity.
  2. Select WorkflowsPrisma SD-WAN SetupBranch Sites.
  3. Click Connect to Prisma Access for the site that you want to connect to Prisma Access under Prisma Access Connection.
  4. Select a Prisma Access Location.
    Prisma Access recommends the first location in the list closest to the Prisma SD-WAN site address. The recommendation is based on the address (latitude and longitude values) entered during site creation in Prisma SD-WAN.
  5. Select the corresponding IPSec Termination Node.
    For every 1 Gbps of bandwidth allocated to a Prisma Access region, a new Termination Node is spun up; you can accordingly select a different termination node.
  6. (Optional) Select a Secondary Prisma Access Location and a corresponding IPSec Termination Node.
  7. Click Connect Sites.
    You can view the status of the connection in the SASE Connection column.
    For each Prisma SD-WAN circuit for a site, a corresponding tunnel to Prisma Access is created in this process. You can have a maximum of 4 circuits connecting to Prisma Access for a site.
  8. (Optional) You can view the details of the Prisma Access peer by selecting WorkflowsPrisma SD-WAN SetupBranch SitesSelect a SiteOverlay ConnectionsBranch-Standard VPN.

Disconnect from Prisma Access

You can disconnect your site from Prisma Access. This removes the tunnel configuration between Prisma SD-WAN and Prisma Access, but it stores SASE Configuration objects such as PA locations and circuits for ease in reconnection.
  1. Select WorkflowsPrisma SD-WAN SetupBranch Sites and select a site.
  2. View details in the Prisma Access Connectivity section.
  3. Click Disconnect from Prisma Access.
