NGFW - Panorama registration 3978 : Traffic allowed but RST constantly.

L1 Bithead

Hi, 

 

I was trying to connect a new PA-440 spare device to our existing Panorama infrastructure, when i faced this weird issue as shown in the system logs. 

 

It's as if the TCP session starts and abruptly ends on port 3978 leading to a never ending loop of success and failure. 

 

The Panorama is natted behind a cisco so i went there to see what was going on and found these reiterating RST packets seemingly after each connection attempt from the PA-440 public ip.

 

I am not sure why this is happening ? The CISCO rules don't seem to be at fault since the TCP session builds initially however the immediate RST that happens right after is unexplained ? 

 

The PA-440 is routed behind a 5G TP-Link Router which doesn't have a fixed IP, so i have to change the corresponding object in the cisco everytime but this is not a problem for now as is it intended as a lab environment for internal testing purposes.

 

I'm suspecting something doesn't go well because of this router, but i'm not 100% sure, anyone encountered something like this before ? 

 

Little update 1 day later :

I can see the the session "established" and the traffic allowed but constantly reset on what i assume to be the peer side (cisco). Not sure why this could happen.

Had the same issue on an other device during initial device installation phase, it was a different model (PA-220), but i was getting the same RST packets from the panorama side. 

 

The solution was to upgrade to the latest PAN-OS version, to get the recently updated root certificate. Pretty idiotic from me, trying to get a registration before the upgrade.

 

I suppose the same step would solve it for this device, can't 100% confirm however as i don't have an available license for that model yet, but very likely.
