Load Balancing in NGFW

albert.waweru — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 08:51:51 GMT

Hello All, I am writing to request if there is a way to perform load balancing in a firewall. Case in point an organization has two traffic links for internet lets call them link A and link B. So i need social media traffic to be rerouted to link A at the firewall and general traffic to be rerouted to link B and vice versa. The firewall in place is PA-1420. Please let me know if there is a way this can be achieved. Its an urgent request. Thank you.

Hello,

I believe PBF rules would suite you best. You could create a PBF and create a application filter of social media apps and direct those applications out interface A. Heres a link to setting up the rule: Create a Policy-Based Forwarding Rule (paloaltonetworks.com)
