Prisma Sdwan Topology

Prisma SD-WAN Topology Discovery

Discover your Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN fabric topology through natural language. View all sites, ION devices (elements), hardware inventory, and full site-to-site topology.

When to Use

• Listing all SD-WAN sites in your fabric
• Viewing ION devices at a specific site
• Auditing hardware inventory (serial numbers, models)
• Understanding site-to-site connectivity and topology
• Identifying hub vs spoke site roles
• Getting a count of devices across the fabric

MCP Server

• Server: prisma-sdwan-mcp (community MCP from iamdheerajdubey)
• Command: python3 -u mcp-servers/prisma-sdwan-mcp/src/prisma_sdwan_mcp/server.py (stdio transport)
• Auth: OAuth2 via PAN_CLIENT_ID, PAN_CLIENT_SECRET, PAN_TSG_ID
• Region: PAN_REGION (americas or europe, default: americas)

Available Tools

Workflow Examples

Site Discovery

# List all SD-WAN sites
"Show me all Prisma SD-WAN sites"

# Get details for a specific site
"What's the configuration for the Headquarters site?"

# Count devices at each site
"How many ION devices are at each site?"

Element Inventory

# List all ION elements
"List all ION routers in the SD-WAN fabric"

# Find elements at a specific site
"What ION devices are at the San Francisco site?"

# Check device states
"Which ION elements are currently offline?"

Hardware Audit

# List all hardware
"Show me the hardware inventory for all ION devices"

# Find specific models
"Which sites have ION 3000 devices?"

# Check software versions
"What software versions are running across the fabric?"

Topology Analysis

# Get full topology
"Show me the SD-WAN network topology"

# Understand hub-spoke design
"Which sites are configured as hubs?"

# Check VPN connectivity
"What are the site-to-site VPN links?"

Integration with Other Skills

• prisma-sdwan-status: After discovering topology, check element health
• prisma-sdwan-config: Drill into interface and routing configuration
• prisma-sdwan-apps: View application definitions used in policies
