Symptom


  • The Panorama WebUI shows zero values for Bit Rate and Packets Per Second
Panorama missing interface stats
  • For the working case we see positive interface stats values
Non-zero interface stats values
 
  • The output of "show interface ethernet" shows 0 values in the "Physical port counters read from MAC: " section
> show interface ethernet1/2
Physical port counters read from MAC:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
rx-broadcast 0
rx-bytes 0
rx-multicast 0
rx-unicast 0
tx-broadcast 0
tx-bytes 0
tx-multicast 0
tx-unicast 0
  • On a working firewall, one can see the physical port counter values
> show interface ethernet1/2
Physical port counters read from MAC:
----------------------------------------------------
rx-broadcast 0
rx-bytes 26032861494408
rx-multicast 0
rx-unicast 24488480433
tx-broadcast 0
tx-bytes 14630985784703
tx-multicast 0
tx-unicast 16939627582
  • An SNMP using the IF-MIB shows "0" for the interface counters
# snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 10.10.10.34 1.3.6.1.2.1.31 | grep "\.2 "
IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: ethernet1/2
IF-MIB::ifInMulticastPkts.2 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInBroadcastPkts.2 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifOutMulticastPkts.2 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifOutBroadcastPkts.2 = Counter32: 0

  • On a working fall we see non-zero interface counters
# snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 10.10.10.168 1.3.6.1.2.1.31 | grep "\.2 "
IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: ethernet1/2

Environment


  • PAN-OS 10.2.3, 11.0.2
  • Panorama
  • AWS firewalls using the "net_ena" NIC driver, for example, the m5 instance type
> debug show vm-series interfaces all

Interface_name       Base-OS_port       Base-OS_MAC             PCI-ID         Driver            Eni

Cause


The vendor provided NIC drivers did not have the support to extract the required NIC statistics with enhanced networking enabled.

Resolution


  1. The issue is fixed in PAN-OS to 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 11.0.3 or 11.1.0. 
  2. Upgrade to the fixed version will resolve the issue.
  3. Alternatively deploying instances that do not use the net_ena NIC driver will also resolve the issue.
