Symptom

Ethernet interface was processing L3 packets, despite of being in ERROR state.

Review output of command “show interface all”
Command: show interface all

name                id    vsys zone             forwarding               tag    address

------------------- ----- ---- ---------------- ------------------------ ------ ---

ethernet1/3 18 1 **ERROR** 0 N/A
ethernet1/3.101 258 1 PrimaryLink vr:VR-Router 0 ip

Environment

Platform: PAN-OS
Deployment: VM-Series

Cause

ethernet1/3 has untagged sub-interface configured, and as a result, its fwd_type is set to PAN_FWD_TYPE_ROUTE regardless of vr_id. However, when "show interface all", the "**ERROR" is thrown because fwd_type is PAN_FWD_TYPE_ROUTE while vr_id is 0.

Resolution

For ethernet1/3.101 sub-interface with tag 0, either remove sub-interface and move config to interface 1/3

or

Add a vlan tag to sub interface
