The PAN-OSĀ® SD-WAN plugin previously supported a limited number of private
link types, which complicated configurations for organizations using more than three
distinct private link providers. This limitation required administrators to
implement configuration workarounds, preventing the SD-WAN plugin from correctly
establishing one-to-one device peering based on the link type.
To address this,
four additional link types are now
available: Private 1, Private 2, Private 3, and Private 4. These function
identically to the existing MPLS link type and inherit its aggressive path
monitoring characteristics. By allowing each distinct private link to be assigned a
unique type, this feature enables the SD-WAN plugin to correctly determine
one-to-one device peering for the overlay network, eliminating the need for
configuration workarounds.
