No Routing or Switching performed by virtual wire interfaces. New updated document: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-1/pan-os-networking-admin/configure-interfaces/virtual-wire-interfaces
I believe the correct answer is Ethernet1/3, and here’s why: While Virtual Wire (vWire) typically operates at Layer 2 and bridges traffic transparently (e.g., ethernet1/7 to ethernet1/5), the exhibit includes a routing table (show routing fib). This suggests the firewall is configured for Layer 3 routing in this scenario. 1. The routing table explicitly shows a default route (0.0.0.0/0) with a nexthop of 10.46.40.1 via ethernet1/3. 2. The mention of the source IP (192.168.111.3) further supports that routing decisions are being applied, which is not typical in a pure vWire setup. 3. This appears to be a hybrid configuration, where routing overrides the default vWire behavior for external traffic. The traffic ingressing on ethernet1/7 with a destination of 10.46.41.113 will egress via ethernet1/3, based on the routing table. This is consistent with Layer 3 routing logic.
