Manage
Firewalls
To
use
Panorama
for
managing
Palo
Alto
Networks
firewalls,
you
must
add
the
firewalls
as
managed
devices
and
then
assign
them
to
device
groups
and
templates.
The
following
tasks
best
suit
a
first
‐
time
firewall
deployment.
Before
proceeding,
review
to
understand
the
deployment
options.
If
you
have
already
configured
and
deployed
firewalls
on
your
network,
the
process
of
migrating
the
configuration,
local
policies
and
objects
from
the
firewalls
to
a
centralized
management
approach
requires
an
understanding
of
scripting
and
the
use
of
the
XML
API
on
the
firewalls.
To
make
this
transition
efficient,
Palo
Alto
Networks
recommends
using
trained
and
certified
partners
who
are
familiar
with
the
planning,
implementation,
and
verification
stages
of
the
migration
process.
Contact
your
authorized
reseller
or
partner
for
more
information
on
the
support
offerings
that
are
available
to
you.
For
a
brief
overview
of
the
process,

more
details

To
view
the
Objects
and
Policies
tabs

least
one
Device
Group
and

least
one
Template
for
the
Network
and
Device
tabs
to
display.

options
required
