Add a VLAN or Switch Virtual Interface (SVI)

Lets learn to add a VLAN (virtual LAN) or SVI ( switch virtual interface) in Prisma SD-WAN.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma SD-WAN
  • Active Prisma SD-WAN license
To add virtual LAN or Switch Virtual Interface:
  1. Navigate to ManageSetupDevicesConfigure the Device.
  2. On the Interface tab, select the Add (plus) icon and select VLAN/Switch Virtual Interface.
  3. Enter the following VLAN information:
    1. Enter a valid VLAN ID, ranging from 1-4000. Enter a unique ID, else you get an error message that the ID is duplicate.
    2. (Optional) Enter a Name, Tags, and Description for the VLAN.
    3. Select Admin Up to use the switch virtual interface.
      Select Admin Up if you need the SVI (L3 routing). If you only need the L2 switching among the switch ports, Admin Down can be used.
    4. Enable or disable Auto Operational State.
      Starting with release 6.4.1, Prisma SD-WAN introduces a SVI state configuration Auto Operation State which can be configured to remain up, when all VLAN member ports are down, or, to be brought down if all member ports are down.
      By default, Auto Operational State is enabled and the SVI is up only when:
      • SVI is configured Admin Up.
      • At least one L2 switch port-access or trunk port-is a member of the SVI and has its link up.
      When Auto Operational State is disabled, if the SVI is configured Admin Up, it will remain up.
    5. Select the VLAN Type as Data or Voice LAN.
    6. Select Used for as LAN.
      Choose HA (referred to as Used for Control prior to release 6.3.1) if you want to configure the SVI for HA setup.
    7. Select IP Configuration for the interface–None, Static, or DHCP.
      If you select static, provide the IP address, Default Gateway, and DNS Server.
      Default gateway and DNS server are optional.
    8. Enter the Scope of the interface.
    9. (Optional) Add DHCP Relay.
    10. (Optional) Add NAT Configuration.
  4. Enter Static ARP Config information.
    You can add a maximum of 16 addresses.
    1. Enter a valid IPv4 address.
    2. Enter a valid MAC Address.
  5. Save your changes.
    The VLAN is created with a system-generated name vlan-<id>. If you have specified a VLAN name in step 3, the given name is used.
