Cisco Link Aggregation Traffic Through a PaloAlto Firewall

74160
Created On 09/25/18 17:39 PM - Last Modified 06/08/23 02:48 AM


Resolution


In Virtual Wire mode, the Palo Alto Networks device can pass Cisco Link Aggregation Control Protocol traffic in vwire only when the links are not aggregated on the PAN-fw.  In V-wire if  the Links are aggregated then the firewall could forward the packets to the other ports in AE , that will cause the LACP to not come between peers.

This is the expected behavior in 7.1.x and 8.0.x
