Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on an issue I'm having.
quick diagram:
Vlan 9 (Layer 3 Interface for Vlan 9) VLAN 9
(CISCO SWITCH)-------------[PALO ALTO]---------------(CISCO SWITCH)
| |
| |
{HOST A} {HOST B}
What would be the ideal configuration for the above setup?
Config on PA
- Layer 3 Interface for Vlan 9
- Create VLan 9 and associated with corresponding Vlan interface
- Create proper policy to allow traffic flow
Testing
- From host A i try to ping the IP address of the Vlan 9 Layer3 interface but I get no response

If your purpose is that HOST A should be able to reach HOST B at layer2 then I would configure the two interfaces at the PA box as layer2. And then create a vlan-interface in the PA which will be the default gw for HOST A and B.
In order to be able to ping the PA itself you need to setup a management profile which you attach to your (in this case) vlan-interface.
When you configure the management profile you can select which of the following protocols should be allowed towards the PA ip-address:
Ping
Telnet
SSH
HTTP
HTTPS
SNMP
Response Pages
along with permitted ip addresses.
