Configuring a virtual wire includes configuring two Ethernet
ports that use the same link speed as virtual wire interfaces, enabling
link state pass through, and adding each interface to a security zone.
You can optionally create a security policy rule to allow Layer
3 traffic, and enable multicast firewalling, IPv6 firewalling, LLDP,
and non-IP protocol protection (for PAN-OS 8.0 and later releases).
The following task shows how to configure
two
Virtual
Wire Interfaces (Ethernet 1/3 and Ethernet 1/4 in this example)
to create a virtual wire. The two interfaces must have the same
Link
Speed and transmission mode (
Link Duplex).
For example, a full-duplex 1000Mbps copper port matches a full-duplex
1Gbps fiber optic port.
