Configure a Controller Port
Let us learn to configure a controller port.

An ION device has one or two controller ports. You are allowed to configure two
controller ports from Release 5.2.1. In a virtual interface, you can use
both the controller ports to establish redundancy in controller connectivity. The
controller ports can thus be in the same subnet. Controller port is by default used
as source interface for controller connections and in the absence of controller
port, the device automatically picks any L3 port as source interface for controller
connections. If you plan to use the controller port, connect to existing LAN segment
with Internet reachability.
- Select the controller port.To enable the interface, for Admin Up, select Yes.(Optional) Enter a description.For IPv4 Configuration, select DHCP or Static.Choose DHCP if the IP address is dynamically assigned.Choose Static if the IP address is fixed and is manually assigned. Additionally specify the IP Address/Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server(s).Click Save Port.Similar to configuring the first controller port, configure the second controller port.
Add a Used-for-Controller Interface
Gen-1 ION devices, including the ION 2000, 3000, 7000, and 9000, feature a dedicated controller port designed to offer MRL connectivity, HA heartbeat exchange, and other management functions. With the release of Gen-2 ION devices, beginning with version 6.3.1, any Layer 3 interface can now be configured as a controller port, leveraging the innovative Used-for-Controller setting. This setting empowers the interface to furnish the same functionality seamlessly.Prisma SD-WAN supports Used-for-controller on:- Main Interfaces
