Slowness with http file transfer after placing PA in-line

clyde.franklin — Fri, 04 Dec 2015 21:35:00 GMT

We recently place firewall in-lline and now when needing to use http file transfer it takes over 5 min. Before PA's in transparent mode it was a 20sec process. Is there any thing I can check to see why this is now happening? Or something I need to modify? Over scp works fine but we are not looking to use SCP as primary file transfer method.

I wanted to note that this is very intermittent. Fo rexample iso's file tranfers are fast, but .jar files are slow

Have you applied any security profile?

I could not locate the model information, but i would suggest you compare the speed supported by the model and keep an eye on "CPU meter" at the home page to see if it spikes while file transfer.

If you users browse internet then users are client side and internet servers are server side.

DSRI means disable server response inspection.

It means that if you enable this then traffic from unknown internet servers towards you is not checked.

As good as not having Palo in between at all because you have no security.

Here's a learning article on DSRI that you might find usefull.

As the article explains, typically DSRI is used in environments where internal servers are trusted and protected by the firewall. In these cases, content inspection can be configured for only client to server (internet users to internal servers) traffic using the DSRI option.

Improve performance of HTTP with DSRI
