Question


Are Clientless VPN users assigned an IP from the Mobile User IP Pool?

Environment


  • Prisma Access Mobile Users
  • Global Protect Clientless VPN
  • Global Protect Portal


Answer


  1. No, Mobile Users using the Clientless VPN Portal do not get IP address assigned from the Mobile Users IP Pool.
  2. Prisma Access portal will use an internal loopback IP address. This loopback IP address is assigned from the infrastructure subnet configured during the initial Prisma Access onboarding/deployment.


Additional Information


Example of a user session where 10.1.0.0/24 is used as the infrastructure subnet.
