Basic fundamentals

Hi,

Just have some queries on Palo Alto firewalls posting some questions. Help on these is much appreciated.pi

1)  How to initiate a ping from GUI

2) As per my knowledge Vwire Sub-interfaces must be acquiring the properties from parent interface, and we need not configure the Vwire Object for Vwire Subinterfaces. But in PAN-OS 5.0.4 even for interfaces it is asking to configure the Vwire Object. Please provide some clarification on it.

3)  Path where PAN-OS gets installed

4) What type of encapsulation does interfaces of palo alto devices support?

Thanks

Raj

Hello

for the ping by the gui, It doesn't exit you can use the ping by the CLI. but you could use the monitoring profile to monitor by ping a device with the policy base forwarding

for the subinterface of vwire is used to deferentiate the tag vlan of packet traffic, and a vwire object is an association of just two interface, that define a bridge. for the subinterface with the same tag vlan you have to affect a specific vlan object.

Thanks for the response.

Earlier when i was working with 4.1 version of PAN-OS vwire object for vwire subinterfaces was not required.

Now in 5.0.4 version even the vwire subinterface have to be bind in Vwire Object.

Does both make any difference.

Thanks
