Question
Why is the tunnel interface status showing as Grayed Out on the IPSec tunnel while the status is connected?
Environment
- NGFW
- Supported PAN-OS versions
Answer
This could happen if the tunnel interface associated with the IPSec tunnel is not assigned to any Virtual Router. For the interface to show its correct status, assign a Virtual Router to the tunnel interface associated with the IPSec tunnel.
NOTE: It does not matter, whether the IPSec tunnel is up or down. If the tunnel interface associated with the IPSec tunnel is not assigned with a Virtual Router, the tunnel interface status will be grayed out.
