Proxy id between Palo Alto firewall and Cisco ASA

L4 Transporter

Hello Experts

 

PA side there are two subnets: 10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24 and Cisco side there are also three subnets 172.16.1.0/24 , 172.16.2.0/24.

 

On PA firewall, I defined the proxy-id as below:

proxy-id1: local: 10.0.1.0/24 remote: 172.16.1.0/24 

proxy-id2: local: 10.0.1.0/24 remote: 172.16.2.0/24 

proxy-id3: local: 10.0.1.0/24 remote: 172.16.1.0/24 

proxy-id4: local: 10.0.1.0/24 remote: 172.16.2.0/24 

 

My questions are:

1- On Cisco side, how I will define the ACL. I mean I will define the four ACL or only one ACL with two source and two destination? 

2- Everytime, if new subnet is added to pass through tunnel. I need to create proxy-id. There is any scalable method for this?

 

Regards,

Palo does not care about Proxy ID because it uses routing table to decide where to send traffic (route based vpn).

But as to negotiate IPSec configuration needs to match at both sides so Proxy ID in Palo is just to make Cisco happy.

Cisco on the other hand uses policy based vpn and encryption domains there are used to decide if traffic should be routed into tunnel or not.

So yes you have to have all subnets added to Proxy ID to have traffic flowing.

5 subnets at both sides for example means 25 Proxy ID's -> 5x5.

Hi Raido 

 

Thanks for your valueable feedback. I heard in IKEV2, there is some concept of superset like on PA if I define 10/8 and remote as 172.16/16. Can we do something like that? or it is something else

I have not used IKEV2 so maybe someone who has can help here.
