Symptom


The log collector has been deployed to use multiple interfaces.
multi-interface deployment
  • Syslog forwarding not happening as configured
  • Packet capture shows the TCP session between LC-SIEM is established


Environment


  • PAN-OS 10.1
  • Log Collector
  • Multi-interface configuration


Cause


The IP address configured on the interfaces are in the same subnet.

Resolution


Review the IP Addressing plan so each interface has an IP in their own subnet.

Local Log Collector

  1. Go to Panorama > Setup > Interfaces
  2. Click on the interface to edit the interface's IP address
    Select the interface to edit its configuration
  3. Update the IP address of the interface
    Note: 10.194.40.85/23 and 10.194.40.84/23 were in the same subnet. To resolve the issue the IP address of the interface is changed to be in another subnet.
    Update the IP address.
  4. Click OK
  5. Commit the configuration change

Dedicated Log Collector

  1. Go to Panorama > Managed Collector
  2. Click on the Log Collector
    Click on the Log Collector to edit its configuration
  3. Click on the Interfaces tab.
  4. Click on the interface to edit the interface's IP address.

Select the interface to edit its configuration

  1. Update the IP address of the interface
    Note: 10.194.41.110/23 and 10.194.41.111/23 were in the same subnet. To resolve the issue the IP address of the interface is changed to be in another subnet.
    Update the IP address.
  2. Click OK
  3. Commit the configuration change
  4. Push to the Collector

Note: The syslog server must be reachable using the new IP address configured.
