Add a Tunnel Inspection Rule to a Firewall Policy

Tunnel inspection rules contain a set of criteria against which a network packet is matched and then inspected.

Before you can create a tunnel inspection rule, create address lists.

The specified source and destination match condition for the traffic consists of lists that you configure in the policy before you construct the rule. You can create a maximum of 500 tunnel inspection rules for each policy.

When the specified source and destination match condition is met, the firewall applies a default Palo Alto Networks® tunnel inspection profile. The profile has the following characteristics, and isn't editable:

  • Protocol: VXLAN
  • Maximum Tunnel Inspection Levels: One level of encapsulation is inspected
  • Return scanned VXLAN tunnel to source: True. Returns the encapsulated packet to the originating VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP).
