Log Collector communication with Panorama M Series

[Liridon]

Hello there,

im planning to change the DLC(running as VMs) Communication with the Panorama  MSeries. 

I have the following setup: 

- M700 in Panorama mode

- Three dedicated log collectors in LOG Collector mode

- All these log collectors communicate with Panorama over the MGT Port 

What I want to change now is as follows: 

- Connect the DLCs with the Bond Interface of the M700 to do Collector Group Communication and Syslog Forwarding

- The Bond 1 interface is pingable from all these DLCs which are in three different regions 

- I want to profit from this change to have faster communication between DLCs and the Panorama as this is fiber optics connection

So my question now is, what should I consider in all this szenario? 

I will have to change the Panorama Server IP in the DLC settings to the IP I have configured in the Bond Interface. Is this correct? For the moment, there is the MGT IP of Panorama. 

Did anyone here have the same szenario? 

For any input and feedback on this, I will be very happy and thankful  : ))

Hello @Liridon

thanks for post.

I have not done exactly the same migration in the past. My experience is limited to Panorama migration using the same IP addresses: Panorama migration from m-100 to m-200 and log collector expansion. From my point of view the change of IP address on log collector side is the only change required. Since you are using the same Panorama with the same configuration, but only different IP address due to different interface, I can't think of any other change required.

Kind Regards

Pavel
