  • Prisma SD-WAN
  • Prisma SD-WAN license
Prisma SD-WAN supports stacked and original policies. Using centrally-defined policies, each ION device performs actions such as automatic path selection, traffic shaping, or active-active load balancing between links, while the Prisma SD-WAN controller provides full visibility into application performance and response times across all WAN links.
Configure policies in Prisma SD-WAN using Strata Cloud Manager.
  1. Select ManagePrisma SD-WANPolicies.
    You can configure the following types of policies in Prisma SD-WAN:
    • Path
      Configure stacked path policies for flow forwarding and traffic shaping operations.
    • Performance
      Configure performance policies to measure application performance and App SLAs.
    • QoS
      Configure stacked QoS policies for specifying business priorities.
    • Security
      Configure stacked security policies to define rules that determine application access within a branch.
    • NAT
      Configure stacked NAT policies to ensure privacy of internal networks connected to public or private networks.
    • Security (Original)
      These are legacy security policies. If you are a new user starting with ION device software version 6.0.1, you can configure only stacked security policies. If you have configured original or legacy policies, you have to convert these legacy policies to stacked policies before you can upgrade your device to Release 6.0.1.
    • Network (Original)
      These are legacy network policies. If you are a new user starting with ION device software version 6.0.1, you can configure only stacked network policies. If you have configured original or legacy policies, you have to convert these legacy policies to stacked policies before you can upgrade your device to Release 6.0.1.
  2. Select Bindings to bind policy stacks to a site.
    In order for policy rules in Path, QoS, Security, and NAT stacks to be effective, you must bind the policy stacks to a site. You can bind only a single path, QoS, Security, and NAT stack to a site at a time.
