Symptom
- When signing in to Windows client with GlobalProtect which pre-logon is enabled, the tunnel to the GlobalProtect Gateway is temporarily disconnected.
- The tunnel is reconnected automatically after several tens of seconds.
- The location of the affected Gateway has multiple active IP addresses due to the autoscaling event of the Next Generation Prisma Access (NGPA) feature.
Environment
- Prisma Access
- GlobalProtect (Pre-logon enabled to Windows client)
- Next Generation Prisma Access (NGPA)
Cause
- The NGPA environment cannot support the tunnel rename, so the client cannot continue to use the same tunnel with just tunnel rename.
- It has to establish the GlobalProtect connection again, and there are several tens of seconds of disconnection during the establishing.
