Question


The following messages were seen in the Logs after configuring IKEv2 tunnel on the Palo Alto Firewall. 
'selector VPN-to-SDRS-DR(GW-to-SDRS-DR)_out src is ambiguous, using the first one of the expanded addresses'

Would like to clarify the meaning of the above message.



Environment


  • Palo Alto Firewall.
  • PAN-OS 7.1.22.
  • IPsec IKEv2 tunnel.


Answer


This is just a warning in IKEv2 that there is no traffic selector, so taking all defaults.
PANW FW takes defaults for proxy id's if it is not configured:

Default:
Local Proxy id = '0.0.0.0/0'
Remote Proxy id = '0.0.0.0/0'

Even when there is no traffic selector PANW FW still do the check and notify that it is ambiguous because you are basically specifying any traffic to into tunnel.
