Symptom
GCP VM cannot get the SSH keys to access it when NIC 1 is assigned to Management.
Environment
- VM based firewalls on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Supported PAN-OS
- NIC 1 is assigned to Management
Cause
NIC 0 (not NIC 1) should be assigned to Management.
Resolution
- Assign NIC 0 to management zone and NIC 1 to the Untrust zone.
- This is also the default state for Google cloud configuration.
- After the changes, SSH access should work fine.
