PA220 as a router?

L0 Member

Hi,

We are planning to have paloalto PA220 firewall in our new sites and instead of purchasing new cisco routers (ISR 4000 series), we will just use the PA220 as a router.

Our link is via ipvpn (not IPSec) with GRE tunneling. And we will be using EIGRP as routing protocol.

Is this a good move? or not? 

Appreciate your advise.

 

Cheers!

 

Ben

hi @bentot

 

The PA-220 will function as a router just perfectly, but it only supports "traditional" (routing) protocols, like BGP and OSPF and IPSec, it does not support GRE or EIGRP

 

You'll still need a device to terminate the GRE and perform EIGRP
