VM-Series Next Generation Firewall in Azure

Hi All,

Can you please share any official document that guide VM-Series Next Generation Firewall (Virtual machine) with BYOL option. I need your help around this as I couldn't get any dedicated document to build steps. Only document I could find is "Deploy the VM-Series Firewall from the Azure Marketplace (Solution Template)" which reflects a different series of steps & interfaces.

Hi,

For deploying VM-Series Next-Generation Firewall (BYOL), Palo Alto Networks provides official documentation here:

VM-Series Deployment Guide for Azure BYOL

This guide covers prerequisites, licensing (BYOL), and detailed step-by-step instructions to build and configure the firewall in Azure.

Would you like me to summarize the exact build steps from that document into a short checklist for you?

Best Regards,
Kyla Ellis

Hi @A.Ali758493 deploying BYOL firewall is not a different than PAYG firewall, only thing you have to activate the license after deployment.

Thanks Kyla, that 'd be great. Actually when I search in Market place & select the BYOL option, It takes me to VM machine setting rather than Firewall basic setting (kindly refer to snips attached). All the document I could find refer to the one you said, where standard three trust, untrust & management interfaces needs to setup.
