Hi All At home I run a PA-200, but I've been toying with the idea of moving to a VM (both lab-licences).. But whilst the VM runs WebUI runs 100x quicker, MGT interface is fine, but on the actual FW interface it has a much higher ping latency. When pinging a FW interface on my PA-200, I get average of 1-2ms response times, but on the VM, I see anything from 3 to 20 milliseconds. If I ssh into the VM, and ping outbound from the PA-200 FW interface (ping source <INT> HOST <8.8.8.8>) is about 15ms , where from the VM i see 25-30ms. Whilst not enough to make it un-useable, the fact even local traffic has such a big increase is concerning. This is a fresh VM install, running PANos 9.x and absolutely no policies or filtering. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but I've tried on 2 different ESXi servers (A Dell Power T320, and a Dell 3010 i7), both dataplanes have very low CPU usage. Is this normal? (if so, I'll just suck it up) Could it be an issue with v9.x? Could anybody make recommendations? Ping from my PC to PA-200, Interface 1/2: Kelvins-MacBook-Pro-3:~ kelvin$ ping 192.168.10.1
