Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Subnets you will use for each remote network gateway
  • IP address of the VeloCloud SD-WAN device. You use the IP address of the gateway address to configure the IKE gateway. Obtain this information from the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.
The following sections describe how you use the VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud (VeloCloud) with Prisma Access:

Supported IKE and IPSec Cryptographic Profiles

The following table documents the IKE/IPSec crypto settings that are supported with Prisma Access and VeloCloud devices. Use the recommended settings when you onboard a remote network and define IKE and IPSec cryptographic settings when connecting the Prisma Access and VeloCloud device.
A check mark indicates that the profile or architecture type is supported; a dash (—) indicates that it is not supported. Default and Recommended settings are noted in the table.
