Network Layer Skillets

The workflow menu network dropdown allows the user to select a deployment option.

Layer 3 Routing

The L3 deployment is a 2-zone, 2-interface model with IP routing.

Interface settings

Sample interface configurations with one for external/untrust and one internal/trust.

  • untrust interface uses DHCP and provides default route inheritance to the internet

  • trust interface iuses a static IP configuration

  • the interface names and the trust IP address are variables to adjust as needed

Zones

Two zones are provided in the template. The names are variables with default values set to trust and internet.

Virtual Router

The internet gateway deployment uses L3 zones and interfaces so routing configuration is required.

  • adds each of the firewall interfaces

  • uses inheritance from the DHCP internet interface to create a default gateway route to the internet

Source NAT

Provides dynamic ip and port mapping using the public internet interface address.

DHCP Server

Simple DHCP server mapped to the trust interface

  • use of IP address range located in the trust subnet

  • inherits DNS information from the untrust interface

Note

This skillet does not include Dynamic DNS (DDNS) although it is a supported feature in PAN-OS v10.0. DDNS is recommended if GlobalProtect or other configurations using the public IP are used.

Network Profiles

Interface management profiles

  • sets the interface interface for ping only

  • allows for configuration access from the trust interface

Note

Device management will vary by users. It is expected that these profiles will be updated specific to the user management model.


Virtual Wire

The vwire deployment is a 2-zone, 2-interface model as a virtual wire.

Interface settings

Sample interface configurations with one for external/untrust and one internal/trust.

  • Interface are set to vwire type

  • virtual wire created using the 2 interfaces

Zones

Zones created with type = virtual wire


L2/L3 Hybrid Switching/Routing

Interface settings

Sample interface configurations with

  • Internal interfaces set to Layer 2

  • vlan and internet interfaces set to Layer 3

Zones

3 Zone configuration
  • L2 - trust

  • L3 - untrust

  • L3 - trust

Virtual Router

The internet gateway deployment uses L3 zones and interfaces so routing configuration is required.

  • contained in the vlan interface

  • uses inheritance from the DHCP internet interface to create a default gateway route to the internet

Source NAT

Provides dynamic ip and port mapping using the public internet interface address.

DHCP Server

Simple DHCP server mapped to the vlan L3 trust interface

  • use of IP address range located in the trust subnet

  • inherits DNS information from the untrust internet interface

Note

This skillet does not include Dynamic DNS (DDNS) although it is a supported feature in PAN-OS v10.0. DDNS is recommended if GlobalProtect or other configurations using the public IP are used.

Network Profiles

Interface management profiles

  • sets the interface interface for ping only
