Symptom
- The sdwan path-monitor stats shows the status of interface as up/ping.
- Whereas the traffic to Internet through this is failing and failover is not working.

Environment
- Palo Alto Firewalls
- Supported PAN-OS
- SD-WAN
Cause
- The DIA VIF (Direct Internet Access Virtual Interface) inherits the path-monitoring status of the IPsec tunnels that are associated with its member interfaces.
- SD-WAN primarily monitors the quality of the path to the gateway address.
- Consequently, when there is a connectivity issue beyond the gateway (such as internet connectivity), traffic may still be routed over this link since the default monitoring behavior targets only the next-hop gateway.
Resolution
- Configure SaaS Quality Profile to achieve the true ISP failover.
- With SaaS Quality Profile, if the monitored IPs are not reachable, the traffic will fall-back to the other ISP links.
