same zone and throughput

L0 Member

Hello guys,

My question is about a Palo Alto PA-500.

The firewall througput is around 250Mbps, and 100Mbps with inspection of packets.

I have 1 Firewall PA-500, with 5 interfaces (L3):

Eth1/1: Untrust zone

Eth1/2: DMZ Zone

Eth1/3 to Eth1/5: Trust zone

What about the throughput between 2 interfaces (L3) in the same zone ?

As far as I understand, this trafic is allowed with a implicit rule (unless we configure a "deny all" rule at the end of our rules).

Does the firewall inspect (APP-ID) the packets between a same zone or not? What will be the throuhput in this case? 250Mbps? More?

I read the document about the packet flows, but it's not clear for me about these questions I have...

Thanks you for your answers,

Regards

Khay

The throughout will not change, for inter or intra zone traffic.  APPID will still be applied for all traffic . Unless you create an intra zone policy to permit traffic you will not be able to see the detected apps.

Thank you

Can I ask a stupid question - is there a simple way to report on the throughput on a given interface?

Thanks you Jerish for your answer.

Just a last question about that:

Is there any way or trick to desactive the APP-ID for particulars flows which go through the firewall ?

Hi alliance.

The only way to deactivate App-ID is through an Application Override policy that match the app you want to exclude from App-ID identification.
