Palo Alto high latency on the external interface

L6 Presenter

Hi All,

 

What could be the reason fro high latency on the Palo interface and why do l have the same hop multiple times, in fact, 4 times?

 

C:\Users\admim>tracert 1x3.2x0.x5.x4

Any ideas/suggestion are welcome.

If this comes and goes (or even just came once) with no patter you have yet observed, I would suggest setting up SNMP and gathering information over time. Basically ping/device load/interface statistics, etc. - everything that may help to find the pattern. 

If that was once, maybe it was smallish DoS, maybe excessive traffic flood from inside, maybe some kind of a loop, a lot of guesses can be made, so statistics would be your friend.

Same IP could show up if the NAT is present.

If you do a traceroute from the firewall what'sthe latency?

If you bypass the firewall and plug a laptop directly what's the latency?

Is it a new setup or it started happening suddenly?

Hi Pankaj,

 

Thanks for your feedback. 

As this is an intermittent issue, it is hard to troubleshoot. It has been reported only once. Currently, no hight latency observed. 

Just thought that people can share their experience or thoughts about this. This is an old set-up, between Palo and next hop couple layer 2 Cisco switches. Do you know why l got 4 entries from the same destination in my traceroute output?

 

Cheers
