This article explains why a dial-up tunnel cannot be added in an SD-WAN Zone. |

Solution |
Sometimes, if a user attempts to add a dial-up IPsec tunnel in an SD-WAN zone, the following error message is displayed: 'Entry not found in data source. Value parse error before 'tunnel name'.
This happens if the 'net-device' feature is enabled on the dynamic tunnel. When 'net-device' is disabled, all dial-up tunnels share the same interface.
The tunnel selection process is based on the tunnel search method (This functionality was removed in v7.0+, and tunnel search is based on the tunnel ID). When a net-device is enabled, dynamic interfaces are created for each dial-up tunnel, and that is why it cannot be added to an SDWAN zone.
Once the net-device is disabled, the tunnel can be added to SD-WAN:
