Symptom


  • The MTU for sdwan interfaces should be 1500 for ethernet interfaces members and 1432 for tunnel interfaces members:
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.901 | match SD-WAN 
SD-WAN interface members: ethernet1/4,ethernet1/5
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.901 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1500
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.902 | match SD-WAN
SD-WAN interface members: tunnel.900,tunnel.901,tunnel.902,tunnel.903
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.902 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1432
  • This gets modified when performing a config push from Panorama to a managed Palo Alto Networks Firewall or local commit.
  • The MTU for both tunnel and ethernet interface is recalculated to 1500 bytes.
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.901 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1500
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.902 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1500


Environment


  • Palo Alto Firewalls (VM and hardware)
  • PAN-OS 9.1 and later
  • SDWAN


Cause


The MTU was recalculated after a local commit or config push from Panorama.

Resolution


  1. The issue is fixed under PAN-194406  and addressed in 10.1.7 and 10.2.3 releases
  2. Upgrade should resolve the issue.
  3. The workaround is to clear the IPSec tunnels.
  4. Once cleared the MTU is recalculated as 1432 for the tunnel interfaces.
admin@PA-VM> clear vpn ipsec-sa tunnel tl_0104_007051000184927_0104
Clear IPSec SA for tunnel tl_0104_007051000184927_0104: 0 IKEv1 SA, 1 IKEv2 SA.
...
(clear all tunnels)

admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.901 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1500
admin@PA-VM> show interface sdwan.902 | match MTU
Interface MTU 1432
