Using
the
example
described
in
the
preceding
topics
(starting
with
perform
the
following
tasks
to
centrally
deploy
and
administer
firewalls:
—Add
the
firewalls
as
managed
devices
and
deploy
content
updates
and
PAN
‐
OS
software
updates
to
those

—Use
Templates
to
administer
a

—Use
Device

for
managing
the
policies
on
your
firewalls.
—Preview
your
rules
and
commit
your
changes
to
Panorama,
Device
Groups,
and
Templates.
If
you
plan
to
deploy
your
firewalls
in
an
Active/Active
HA
configuration,
assign
each
firewall
in
the
HA
pair
to
a
separate
template.
Doing
so
gives
you
the
flexibility
to
set
up
separate
networking
configurations
for
each
peer.
For
example,
you
can
manage
the
networking
configurations
in
a
separate
template
for
each
peer
so
that
each
can
connect
to
different
northbound
and
southbound
routers,
and
can
have
different
OSPF
or
BGP
peering
configurations.
