Security Policy Configuration.

[homicidedart]

Hi Gents, here is my PA design as active active.

to be clear, the server farm is connected to the Core switches, and the Clients are connected to both Agg switches.

the PA Configuration is in VWire mode.

the question here is, when I create a security policy to allow access clients to access the servers for specific applications on the servers.

should I configure a second policy to allow access from the servers to the clients also? or the second policy isn't required.

Hello,

Palo alto is a State full firewall.

If traffic is allowed in one direction return traffic for the same session will be allowed by default.

You don't need to specify second rule for return traffic unless traffic is been initiated from server instead of from client.
