Question


How is GlobalProtect IP Pool assigned in Prisma Access?

Environment


  • Prisma Access Mobile Users
  • GlobalProtect IP Pool


Answer


  1. When Prisma Access Gateways are onboarded, each Gateway will be assigned a block of /24 IP address pool and the assigned IP block stays with the gateway.
  2. This block of /24 IP address pool will be taken from available block to use in the regional pool first that is defined when onboarding Mobile Users.
  3. If the regional pool does not have available block of /24 IP address pool, GlobalProtect IP pool will be assigned from the next available pool in Worldwide pool.

Example, when onboarding Mobile Users, Prisma Access Gateways are selected on the following location,
  • US West
  • US Northwest
  • US Central
  • US Northeast
  • Germany Central
  • Hong Kong

On the IP pools tab, each regional and worldwide pool is defined as follow,
  • North America & South America: 10.20.8.0/23
  • Africa, Europe & Middle East: 10.20.10.0/23
  • Asia, Australia & Japan: 10.20.12.0/23
  • Worldwide: 10.20.20.0/22

Each of the gateway during onboarding will be assigned the following pool:
  • US West : 10.20.8.0/24
  • US Northwest: 10.20.9.0/24
  • US Central: 10.20.20.0/24 >>> taken from next available block from Worldwide pool as there is no more available block under North America & South America pool
  • US Northeast: 10.20.21.0/24 >>> taken from next available block from Worldwide pool as there is no more available block under North America & South America pool
  • Germany Central: 10.20.10.0/24
  • Hong Kong: 10.20.12.0/24
Note: The sequence of onboarding above is for illustration only and does not reflect the sequence of Gateway onboarding in real scenario.
