Why is the tunnel interface status showing as Grayed Out on the IPSec tunnel while the status is connected?
User-added image


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.
