Template
Step
1
Add
a
new
template.
1.
Select
Panorama > Templates.
2.
Click
Add
and
enter
a
unique
name
and
a
description
to
identify
the
template.

(Optional)
Select
the

check
box
if
this
template
will
be
used
for
devices
that
are
multi
‐
vsys
capable
and
are

for
multi
‐

A

devices
with
multi
‐
vsys
capability
is
pushed
to
devices
that
are
not
multi
‐
vsys
capable
or
are
not
enabled
for
the
multi
‐
vsys
functionality.
4.
Specify
the
Operational Mode
for
the
devices
to
which
the
template
will
be
applied.
The
default
is
normal;
change
to
cc
or
fips
,
as
required.
The
template
commit
will
fail
if
there
is
a
mismatch
in
the
operational

the
template
with
what
is
enabled
on
the
devices
included
in

(Optional)
Select
the

when
creating
templates
for
hardware
models
that

Select
the
Devices
(firewalls)
for

assigned
to
the
template.

Select
the
Group HA Peers
check
box
for
firewalls

PAN
‐
OS
synchronizes
some,
but
not
all,
configurations
between
HA
peers.

active/passive
HA,
select
Group HA Peers
so
that
both

receive
the
configurations.

whether
you
select
Group HA Peers
depends

same
configurations.

and
excludes,
