VLAN 100 is my transit between the switch and the Palo Altos. On the external segment switch (SW4) I created some transit VLANS for between the Palo Altos, and the external router.
I configure the NAT statement to translate addresses on the Inside interfaces (gig0/0, gig0/1) to translate to addresses in my home network subnet (192.168.1.x).

Also I found I had to configure a NAT statement on this router in order for the Windows desktop in the internal network to be able to access the internet (as well as opening up the firewall). The EXT-RTR gets a DHCP address from the network cloud to allow it out towards the internet. The net cloud in the middle, connecting to each of the Palo Alto’s management interfaces allows me to manage the firewalls from my native browser, rather than the VNC pop up that EVE-NG offers. The management cloud on the top is there simply so that I can VPN into my home computer and access the lab from my laptop if I’m out of the house/not close to my desktop. I also usually select the “console” as Telnet so I can easily access the CLI. Once you’ve done that, when your Palo Alto device boots up it should get a DHCP address from your home router. You can use the “management cloud” in EVE-NG to “bridge” it to your home network on the Palo’s management interface. To do that, you want the Palo to get a management IP on your home networks subnet. I much prefer to manage the Palo’s via my own computers web browser.

It’s “manageable” but the screen is so small, you don’t really get the full experience. Although you can manage the Palo Alto VM directly in EVE-NG via VNC, I really don’t recommend it. Once you’ve set up your image properly, you can now start building out labs. The guide should work for any PA image, just make sure you replace the version number in the commands with the one you are using! Deploying Your Palo Alto in EVE-NG
Importing your Palo Alto image into EVE-NG can be performed the same way as your other images such as Cisco switches and routers.Īgain, there’s no point me going into detail with this as the documentation on EVE-NG’s website is great.

I will assume that you already have EVE-NG set up (I use the free version) but if not, there is some amazing documentation and video walkthroughs on the EVE-NG website to guide you through it: Importing Palo Alto Image into EVE-NG In this blog post, I want to guide you through my EVE-NG home lab which I host on my desktop via VMWare Workstation which I can use to lab up scenarios using Palo Alto Virtual Machines. This justifies the need for any network engineer to learn Palo Alto firewalls. Being a network engineer with very little firewall experience, I wanted the chance to get more hands on with firewalls, in particular Palo Alto Next Gen Firewalls.Īccording to the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant publication, Palo Alto have been crowned market leader for Network Firewalls for the 9th time in a row. If you’re looking to become a Palo Alto Firewall expert, it’s vital you have a lab to practice and fine tune your skills.
